As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving MAGA or Trump approaches one. (Just getting a jump on the next generation of Godwins. Check back on this skeet in a decade or two).

Kinda seems like the US is the one keeping the strait closed at the moment, so if Europe were to send ships there to open it they’d be going there to sink the US naval fleet.

Hegseth: "We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do, and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat. This is much more their fight than ours."

The only direct relation between The Terminator and Terminator 2 is that in The Terminator Reese and Sarah escape the police precinct in an AMC Gremlin, and in Wayne’s World, Wayne is pulled over while driving his AMC Pacer by a cop played by Robert Patrick, who plays the T1000 in Terminator 2.

If somebody went back in time and killed baby Hitler then anytime we wanted to compare someone to a really horrible person today we’d compare them to the guy who invented a whole ass Time Machine just to murder some random baby.

In 1929 business men were so broke they couldn’t afford busses so they got together in groups like this and walked down the street pretending they were riding an imaginary bus to their imaginary businesses.

Comfortably Boo@numb.comfortab.ly

Trump posted AI slop of prosperity in New York. In 1929.

Remember when we used to have health secretaries who tried to improve the health of the nation? Hell, remember when we used to have politicians who tried to make things in the country better?

(No, me neither tbh. I don’t really know why we even have a government anymore. It’s not even like they can use the excuse of ‘managed decline’ either, they all just seem to be going around trying to break things faster than they’d break if the government just ceased to exist)

Worried about fucking up a presentation or musical recital and embarrassing yourself in front of your peers? Dissociate! Having to face up to an intensive work social event? Dissociate! Being bullied at school? Dissociate! Overwhelmed by the horrors being committed with your taxes? Dissociate!

It's so easy to do, just tell yourself that guy over there going through all that trauma is some other dickhead, I'm over here minding my own business. Nothing to do with me. It's like activating an invincibility mode for your brain.

Basically America has lost the war and Iran has them - and most of the rest of the world - by the balls. Iran should demand the extradition of trump into Iranian custody to stand trial for war crimes as part of their unconditional terms of surrender.

Aman Batheja@amanbatheja.bsky.social

The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”

This is genuinely hilarious. These men are so pathetic they can’t even refuse to wear shoes that don’t fit them properly. The whole lot of them should be mocked and humiliated wherever they go.

It gets better. Here's Vance and Rubio in the Oval Office...

I’ve lived in this house for almost 20 years and only this morning realised that the Edwardian-style taps in the bathroom have “Edwardian” written on them just in case you’re not sure what period the bathroom fittings were designed to replicate.

Guests are going to think AI designed my taps or I got them off Temu, but I’m pretty sure this bathroom was installed long before either of them was a thing.

“AI? Heavens no, just a previous owner with no taste and an enthusiasm for DIY. Mind you don’t stub your toe on that third tile. And try not to touch anything electrical. I think he did all the wiring himself as well.”

The floor tiles need repointed, half the light fittings don’t work, the extractor fan is broken, the radiator is rusty and leaking, there’s a big hole in the wall and a huge crack in the mirror, but the “Edwardian” taps might be the thing which finally drives me to get the bathroom remodelled.

Neurodivergent people are going to take over the world because a) we’ve already developed the coping mechanisms to function while suffering the symptoms described in this article and b) our pathological demand avoidance will ensure we resist using LLMs while everyone else’s brains turn to mulch.

Combining the demands of ever-higher productivity with the addictive design of chatbots creates a perfect machine for making you ignore your body's demands for rest.

If you or someone you love is at risk of employer-enforced LLM brain rot, speak to your local neurodivergent community member for tips on passive non-compliance techniques today.

Every single legacy millennial tv and movie franchise has to make jokes about pronouns and Gen Z work ethic. It’s painfully unfunny. The Scrubs reboot is unwatchable. It’s the trailer highlight for Scream 7, admitting this is the funniest joke in the movie. It’s the same non-joke over and over.

I will literally watch a 1.5hr long video about some dudes spending three days digging a skid steer out of a frozen bog and I am here to tell you that “person complaining about being misgendered while they’re murdered” is a shit, lazy, out of touch, embarrassing thing to put in your movie in 2026.

At this point it’s not even comedy, this joke just isn’t funny or clever or original. It’s just some weirdo circle-jerk writers lashing out at something that doesn’t and hasn’t ever existed. Log off Twitter, go outside, meet real humans, touch grass, get mud on your boots, you weird little shut-ins.

I’m a 45 year old cishet white divorced male who likes trucks and my favourite YouTube channels are ones where men with beards recover stuck vehicles and even I don’t find this shit funny.

I’m fairly left-wing but if I lived in America I would 100% wear a cowboy hat and boots and drive around in a beat-up 40 year-old F150 listening to country music. Tbh if the US sorts its shit out in the next 10yrs or so, I’d consider moving there to cosplay being a cowboy for a while.

I’m from the Scottish Borders where most of the “rednecks” emigrated from, so cosplaying as a cowboy is actually my heritage and not cultural appropriation.

If it’s giving him that hideous rash, what unspeakable horrors is it PREVENTING?

CNN@cnn.com

A new rash on the right side of President Donald Trump’s neck is the result of a cream that he’s using as a “preventative skin treatment,” his personal physician told CNN on Monday.

Not sure if this got me blocked because they didn’t get the joke or because they did get the joke.

Anyway, if you're interested in learning how LLMs can help you be more productive in your work and personal life, buy my new ebook, the first in a new How To series teaching to 'get to grips' with different LLMs, "Getting to Grips with OpenAI"

Feeling torn. On the one hand I don’t want to give Paramount any more money after their reaction to the genocide in Palestine, but on the other hand I really want to watch Starfleet Academy after seeing how much all the misogynistic Potter-loving transphobes hate it.

Ok, gave Paramount eight of my royal pounds. It’s good, I like Starfleet Academy. It’s a bit silly and that’s fine. Star Trek is good when it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Eg Q and tribbles and Darmok and Ferengi and holodeck episodes, and all of lower decks.

Setting it during the reconstruction period after Discovery makes for an interesting backdrop as they work towards rebuilding the unity and optimism of Starfleet and the federation of planets, lost after the burn. If people want the old Star Trek back, they should be supporting this show imo.

At the very least we should ban them from public toilets. Sure, you might be one of the “good” rich people, but how am I supposed to know that when I see you going into the bathroom after my son or daughter?
