They’ve skewered him on the ears. Do the fingers next, postie lads.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

We’re all talking about the Pope like he’s already dead - what must his wife and kids be feeling. Please think before posting.

What if James Bond is the new Doctor Who?

When you’ve got to rule Tudor England at 1553 but have got to take a car back to Arfur’s lock-up at 1600.

This feels like violence.

One of the many ways you can tell Kemi Badenoch is too online is she keeps using “DEI” which is not a term used by UK organisations. America Brain is real and Kemi has it. She’ll be talking about jaywalking next.

Get in. 💙

The technology brothers have invented “Goons as a Service”

Instagram is convinced - i think because I like Björk and PJ Harvey - that I give a flying one about Kate Bush. Bloody Tory.

Finally a poll that Starmer has a chance in

An astonishing exchange today between Pete Hegseth and a European reporter who has no time whatsoever for his bullshit. How I wish American media had an ounce of this steel. #hamburger

A.I. is undoing all the progress we've made on climate

Have made a very small number of Birmingham City/Free Gaza badges. If anyone would like one I can send - no cost but maybe a small donation to a Palestine Solidarity org when you are able. #BCFC

yup

I've had two responses to this along the lines of the "the head of the BBC is a Tory" and I got to say it is interesting that excuse is now in play when if some people made it from 2015-2019 it would be considered evidence of conspiratorialism that meant you were unfit to participate in democracy.

And the government always mean the second one.

He makes himself big

This is perhaps the worst ever record to wake me up in the morning. Two unrelated keyboard demo modes and a vocal line with another different tune with trite rhymes.

How it started v How it's going. buff.ly/4gAo3Ql

Today would have been Graeber's birthday. I recommend checking out his work.

"Gentlemen, what is the charge? Shouting 'Garlic bread' at a comedian? Repeatedly? GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS!"

Giving a speech criticising the TV sitcom After Henry.

This is not only morally reprehensible, but a breach of the UN Refugee Convention. No refugee should be discriminated against on the basis of how they entered the country www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Stell-Ur Street

Scapegoating refugees has always been a deliberate ploy by governments to distract from their own domestic failures. Pandering to Reform UK will backfire — and vulnerable people will pay the price. End dangerous crossings by opening safe routes for fellow human beings instead.

I’d advise confused Sensible Moderates to stop asking what has gone wrong here and start asking whether you have been the victims of fraud, and not only by this party’s leadership.

The "excuse me please, my ear is full of milk" scene from Laurel and Hardy's "Going Bye-Bye". Break seal and use when you need it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTwN...

Borderline Like a Prayer Papa Don’t Preach

Was looking for something on eBay, and I have questions.

Time to shop around for a new water supplier.

No mention of why he was forced into exile?

With his pledge to invade Gaza, Donald Trump has confirmed ethnic cleansing as US foreign policy. Any government, politician, journalist or commentator who fails to call it what it is — a grave crime against humanity — is complicit in one of the worst atrocities in history.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing. Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law. If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

PITCH: An updated version of the curse of Cassandra where she's describing things that are happening now, in front of everyone, but still isn't believed.

If Starmer prevaricates when asked about Trump’s clear intention to commit ethnic cleansing then be clear, he is a man with no honour, principles or humanity. Anyone defending him will get no hearing from anyone with a conscience - a litmus test (another!) for liberals in the UK.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.
