She's right. But the problem is she is not serious, and she is not on the centre-right. Indeed, she is so unserious that 'where on the political spectrum is Kemi Badenoch?' is actually a very difficult question to answer, it's like having to adjudicate 'how bacon is a table?'

The media is going to BOTH SIDES us right into martial law

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Has anybody figured out how to stop playing Squeakross yet? I’m apparently 10+ hours deep already lol

Me and my Bluesky bubble

COMPUTER.... ENHANCE....

You know things are fucked up in the US when Bill "Project for the New American Century" Kristol represents the left of the Republican party and supports the LA protests.

Good morning. It's Saturday and I'm writing news. "It's not hard to imagine ways in which repeating the myth of Clair Obscur's team size could contribute to worse conditions for games and the people developing them." www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Summer showcase drinking game: do a shot every time a game says it’s a roguelike/lite. Die in an hour. Some very cool games though.

This is an excellent game for fans of Picross. There's something understated about not having a glut of superfluous content but having a core that is executed exceptionally well.

If this doesn’t scare you, you are on the wrong side of history. Trump is about to use the military to kill US citizens. This is exactly what it looks like it is.

1-2-3-4, I declare a civil war.

It's only 5 AM, but here it is, the dumbest thing will read all day.

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

I have to admit I fully expected trump to have musk quietly assassinated so I'm absolutely thrilled we're having a the girlies are fighting era before he has him bumped off.

Such beauty in life

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I wish them both the worst.

The worst thing about the modern web is that *every* headline is clickbait. It won't say, "Lost renewed for season 2", it'll say, "This highly rated science fiction show has been renewed". And then takes two paragraphs to get to the point. I know the point it to get click through but it's so shit.

I don't think Tim Sweeney buys his own hype about the use of ML dialogue generation - but he does have a new engine feature to sell, which just so happens to be ML dialogue generation.

By this definition even the King of Britain isn't counted as British Clown show stuff from Matt Goodwin

Epic opening up Metahumans for use in other game engines is a real game changer for Indie development.

There's also a temporal element to this one. For eg: "right wing labour MPs are colluding with the press to lose an election so their faction can take over" was insane conspiracist drivel until they wrote books explaining that it was all true, and in fact jolly clever and good.

Made a little Godot addon that lets me teleport the 3D view to any node, and also lets me copy/paste the views between multiple viewports / tabs. You can find it for free here, under "more_viewport_options": github.com/CozyCubeGame... #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Anyone saying ‘DEI’ here in the UK is telling you very directly where their hate is imported from.

And if you ask about this in focus groups etc people will say there is a lot of waste to cut that could mean more spending without taxes. Because politicians/papers have kept saying that for years.

From a purely ideological pov, these arguments are anti-human, both in terms of poverty and family life. But also from a pragmatic view we're facing a demographic crisis and unreformed social care. So it's doubly fucked.

The use of certain words and phrases is always a tell - it used to be "virtue-signalling", then "woke", now it's "DEI". It's an indicator of where these ignorant fools are being radicalised - back in the day it was message boards and 4Chan; now, in many cases, it's Twitter and Facebook.

I know I'm quoting something that is actually a serious point but; can we get a new class of politician that isn't fucking obsessed with the United States? Everything in British politics is first filtered through the lens of an inferiority complex with America and it's so distorting to our politics.

“DEI”

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

Removing the "1m from neighbour's property" rule for heat pumps is excellent news & a sensible policy from Labour. Though upfront costs are still the biggest hurdle - Labour need to throw investment at decarbonising our homes and green job creation.

A perfect example of the bizarre alliance between libertarians and the authoritarian right that I wrote about here. samf.substack.com/p/hayeks-bas...

Finally, Betteridge's Law of Headlines has been violated.

🇸🇮 RTVSLO has written to the EBU requesting an independent audit of the televote results of the last two contests. If the EBU is unwilling to undergo an audit, RTVSLO also requests "an explanation of how disclosure could significantly harm EBU, the ESC or its service providers".

The lower they go in the polls, the deeper into the gutter they crawl

Telling how when the attacker is a middle class, white company director who "lives in a cul-de-sac" it's automatically framed as an "out of character" moment of madness

Today’s @liverpoolecho.co.uk front page as stories of heroism and kindness in the face of horror and pain continue to emerge

Doom Eternal? Doom Eternally throwing timed precision platforming elements to break up the core power fantasy arena combat gameplay, for some reason?

When even the IMF are begging you to loosen your fiscal rules, you know you've pushed austerity too far.

that's because it's nonsense
