fusing two roles one actor has played: thread

This needs repeating indefinitely

bad news, everyone

Almost makes me wish I hadn’t cancelled Netflix for their previous bs, so I could cancel now and give them a piece of my mind about this… almost.

Right. If you want to know what's really going on, we're going to have stop falling for the spin & asking better questions. What on earth was Palantir's top UK dude doing anywhere near this? And why has neither govt revealed the sweetheart tech deal? broligarchy.substack.com/p/a-secret-u...

How can Labour stop Reform?

Essentially *all* research and expert assessments show that this does not work. It will not counter Farage, but literally push votes towards Reform. It genuinely is impossible to overstate how profoundly stupid and strategically illiterate this decision is. You cannot out-Reform Reform.

Thanks!

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

We explicitly voted against the rising levels exactly this kind of bullshit in the Conservative Party, and in large numbers, yet we still got this. FFS.

So I was looking at replacing my Synology NAS, guess which brand is no longer even a consideration… arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Even with the “enhancements” MS still haven’t managed to state a use case that warrants the risk it introduces, it’s still one big nope. The Recall launch was the final straw for me, there are no longer any Windows installations on my personal devices. I’m Windows free for the first time since 3.11.

When your 15 yr old cat leaps halfway across the room on the promise of a bit of sirloin steak I think it’s safe to say she’s got a few years left in her.

Trans women are women. That’s it, that’s the toot.

I’ve read the book, I’ve seen the movie, this doesn’t end well.

You know how people talk about stuff like there being no safety rails in the Death Star and how evil fortresses always have terrible opsec and easily-triggered chain reactions of self-destruction? All of that stuff is seeming more and more plausible these days.

I was today years old before I saw a squirrel pee. I mean, obviously they do, but I’ve never actually seen it till today.

Oswald Mosley's grandson is head of Palantir UK? Writers phoning it in.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

Fairground - Simply Red, I can’t reach to turn off the radio fast enough if that comes on. One of the best things about streaming is never having to risk hearing Mick Hucknall ever again.

Just one day, that’s all I ask, just one day without something happening that’s been ripped straight from the pages of a dystopian science fiction novel.
