Hey guys! I'm Burke, he's Hare, and before we get into today's unboxing video, we just wanna talk a little about today's sponsor, Surfshark

Happy 12th anniversary to this immensely important editorial in Britain’s newspaper of record, the [checks notes] Sunday Sport.

“Why shouldn’t I custom-generate all of my child’s media?” Because the point of children’s literature, music, art, and movies is not to optimize leisure time, it is to provide your children with cultural, emotional, societal, and epistemic touch points via which they can relate to the wider world.

Tech companies suddenly decide they can, in fact, moderate content on their platforms after all

I'm not saying tying people to a stake at low tide and letting nature take its course was an effective deterrent against piracy, but I don't see why we don't rerun the experiment

The DfT just posted this self-congratulatory propaganda on Facebook. This is horseshit. Battery trains have a very minor role to play as a transition technology, but in the foothills of a seismic energy crisis, swapping one form of energy dependency for another is crap politics and worse planning.

For some it’s a lifeline. For others (like me), it’s guidance. For others, it’s the availability of options. Refusing a diagnosis is a violation of the right to health - ADHD remains a disability, with all the personal and societal consequences it holds. This is not just appalling - it’s dangerous

Heard a BBC vox pop (truly the bottom feeding of broadcast journalism) complain that the RNLI might not be able to get to ‘genuine people’ because they were busy rescuing from small boats. ‘GENUINE PEOPLE’. Imagine being that level of soulless d**k.

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

"Aid to the Starving, American Style." - Soviet Poster, 1970s

Abolish the Home Office.

Once again, the biggest problem with violent far right thugs making our streets dangerous is not that they might not vote Labour.

I… need some archaeologists to see this. And maybe the FBI? This is insane www.estatesales.net/CA/Beverly-H...

Gerard McCarthy's response to Maureen Lipman is so fucking good

Arts and Crafts 2: This Time We're Giving William Morris a Mech Suit

Damn, I painted this little snail and I guess it tried to crawl away when I wasn't looking 🐌

Hey if you are at #eaa2026 make sure to say hi to this guy, whose archaeology project signed a missile sent to Gaza. 🏺 www.instagram.com/p/DcmVUnBjS7...

This is cool as hell.

Every single journalist in Britain should read this searing essay by Will Self

This is bracing, remarkable reading by Will Self about Jason Arday, naming names in blistering terms, including several prominent TERFs who joined the kicking of Arday. May Kathleen Stock and Sarah Ditum and everyone else involved never live this down.

I have to say: “it is the sacred duty of the British press to expose liars and bullshitters defrauding the public” is one of the best and most insulting gambits yet.

This is fully deranged. Columnists reference Nineteen Eighty-Four all the time but this is Brave New World-esque; sorting children definitively into categories before we’ve even tried to give them a better chance.

AI slop menus are awful. Why do this? Is this supposed to be appetising? It no longer even looks like food!

That escalated quickly.

that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.

World-class UK anthropology, archaeology, area studies, chemistry, classics, English language and literature, geography, history, history of art, modern languages and philosophy, among other subjects, are also at risk, and have been for quite some time now. You don't need a telescope to see it.

I mean, it does look like America has demanded an explicit figure in military spending - most of it, I’d assume, from US arms companies - with threats of what will happen if we don’t pony up, doesn’t it. If it isn’t that, then it’s weird how much it looks like it.

I think we are going to need to talk more securing the public (esp. kids') access to grounded facts, given that our govts & big tech: – replaced web search with generated fiction – block kids from talking to other people online – are replacing teachers with 'ai' – are shredding &defunding libraries

Starmer having won a landslide on 33.7% of a 59% turnout isn't the defence you think it is Starmer lads. It's a deep criticism of a broken electoral system that Starmer has failed to address. A loveless landslide should not even be possible.

Here’s what this government extremism tsar considers to be extreme, by the way. Ask yourself: how exactly did almost every post for ensuring equality or tackling extremism come to be filled with absolutely roaring wingnut cranks? Did that happen by accident, are they still there due to an oversight.

Your reminder that this is supposed to be the good guy of British centrism, the one who’s our last chance of defeating the far right

This is great. "If you can’t be bothered to write it, why should anyone be bothered to read it?" is spot on.

all that placating went well then

This episode of "Today" desperately needs a historian of policing, to explain why things like anti-racism training were introduced in the first place. This wasn't some departure from a world in which the police treated everyone the same. It was an attempt to bring that world fractionally closer.

Oh wow, well, that is certainly very fortunate timing, isn’t it. And oh look, who does that nice lady Laura work for? I’m sure nothing has been storyboarded and choreographed, and the stars have simply aligned this week by natural means, like an eclipse or a meteor shower.
