In a sense, this is also why I mourn the ongoing loss of magazines. They were all about self-selecting a broad subject and then getting a finite container full of possibly interesting things. Bouncing between websites doesn’t scratch that particular itch. 1/2

Think this is correct, and although it might just be weird personal nostalgia I'd say more generally that we maybe failed to realise that flicking through stuff to get to what we were interested in isn't a time waste from the point, it is the point

I say this with great fondness for Taylor Swift but "she wears short skirts/I wear T-shirts" will never stop annoying me as those are both potential halves of the same outfit.

Reposting for the morning crowd. Apparently somebody is using AI to make songs praising the leader of Burkina Faso at an industrial scalw, and is even plastering a-listers' names on them.

This reminds me of ICT (Information and Communications Technology), which is a term almost exclusively used in pockets of education , government and the EU.

Think the biggest area of gross negligence from Sunak and Hunt in the dying days of their govt was cutting NI twice when they knew how totally fucked the public sector was, prisons in particular. But we look back and are supposed to think they were the 'sensibles' in the Tory party. No thanks.

I'm fully expecting the "Cats are actually aliens from the planet Europa, what do you mean its a moon, I'm talking about the planet" theory of that woman I met in Oxford once to go mainstream any day now.

this is exactly like one of those excruciatingly slow museum train rides that take you from one room to the next, each filled with animatronic mannequin dioramas 're-enacting' the first time man ever fucked a hole in a tree or whatever

In years to come the distinctive ‘pink … pink … pink …’ of an unpaid-for Lime bike will be as evocative a sound to some ears as the ‘beep-beep-beep’ of a payphone or the ‘kkhhhrrrrrr-tchvee-yawrrrr-tchvee-yawrrrr-kik’ of a computer connecting to the internet is to earlier generations.

📖 “Why Lime bikes beep” www.londoncentric.media/p/why-lime-b... #London #cycling ____ “All of this points to an unmet demand: The capital’s schoolchildren want bicycles to ride around London. Lime is, at the moment, unwillingly meeting this need.” – That’s the right take.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being rewarded for their ignorant delinquency.

Flat Eart gotten too mainstream for you? Heads up that the "all old buildings are myths" crank brigade is preparing itself for an onslaught. I expect them to be in charge in few years.

Just realised that What Have You Done to Solange thinks London has local radio stations? So either it's the then new BBC Radio London or the Italians think it has American style local radio stations.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

If you want to understand how this country works, Rugby League has been around for 130 years. The great Billy Boston this week became the first person in RL in any role to receive a knighthood. The first knighthood for services to Rugby Union was in 1927.
