Excoriating and accurate. www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025...

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlur Advertisement at a London bus stop. Ya gotta love the British…

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹

Elect this woman to the White House.

You'll be back, Soon you'll see. From republic back to monarchy.

The problem with liberalism is that it sits around waiting for extremists to cut its throat. Musk is clearly using Twitter to undermine European democracies, so Europe should pull the plug on it. Who gives a shit if he wails about freedom of speech. Geo-block it in Europe and tell him to get fucked.

If anyone can claim to be a disruptor in the field of information systems and computer science it is Linus Torvalds. He proves that it's possible to do that without being a megalomaniac, techno-libertarian, right wing, incel, eugenics loving weirdo. #Linux

You have to admit that going up against propositions that are true by definition is a bold intellectual move.

Liking the Leica characterisation here…

Definitely time to leave the other place. I asked Alan English (outgoing Sindo Editor) about the misuse of the Indo logo, and they’ve gotten no satisfaction despite a link to a clearly false story. Fuck Musk.

Not a difficult question.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

-And steps like a goose…

Trump doesn’t need Putin anymore either it seems. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

As God made them, He matched them.

And the geeks shall inherit the Earth..

Having a pint last night and a pal orders Heineken. #RIPDavidLynch

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Hard to describe the influence of David Lynch on my generation. We sat down as a family to watch Twin Peaks in 1990, expecting a fairly straightforward TV detective series.

I’m taking a few risks on shirt colours, tiring of the whites, pale blues and pinks that make up most of my formal wardrobe, experimenting now a bit with green and navy shirts. I wonder if the garish shirt colours of Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul are having an influence!

As Henry Kissinger said when hostilities broke out between Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and Iran under the Ayatollah. “Pity they both can’t lose”. Steve Bannon condemns Elon Musk as ‘racist’ and ‘truly evil’ www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Just for fun, let me tell you about somebody you've probably never heard of, but who was once one of the most famous people in England, a national hero, a disgraced fraudster, and an astonishingly accomplished piratical maniac. He led quite a life. (1/53)

I don't want democratic leaders who promise bipartisanship. I don't want them to work across the aisle. I want Democrats who recognize Trump's GOP for what it is. The enemy. The existential threat to our survival as a nation. Not to be negotiated with, but eradicated.

These so called ‘Yak Traks’ finally get their day in the Sun. Made from Rubber and Steel they may look like bondage gear, but actually they provide strong grip on slippery surfaces…
