I followed loads of my academic crushes this week and a terrifying amount of them followed me back and now I'm going to have to pretend to be a clever and interesting networking professional instead of a half-baked shitposter with a penchant for absurdity

"...a conscious and depraved indifference to the consequences of its conduct..." #OpenAI

"We’re facing a position where we’re going to have to reduce flexibility, but in order to help the human skills." lololol the hits just keep on coming

if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

Back in the good old days of the internet if you saw this many ads trying to watch or read one simple thing, you'd assume your pc was riddled with viruses. Also, Gen Z/Alpha needs to know that paid subscriptions MADE ADVERTS DISAPPEAR

"Whoever controls food and water, controls the masses."

"Quiet, piggy."

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Dear Apps That *do stuff* When You Take A Phone Screenshot, Don't do that.

This is a man who creates his own reality. Nothing else matters - nothing else exists - apart from what he thinks. (This is how all of us perceive reality, in a way, but Musk is what happens when that phenomenon has the dial cranked all the way up to "I am God.")

I don't really get hayfever now like I did when I was a kid, but occasionally during summer my body will wake up in the morning and go WE SNEEZIN' TODAY.

This worked out spectacularly badly for her hero Thatcher, and we're *still* trying to undo the Gordian Knot of fuckery she dropped on the UK

Well, he finally did it. Another feather in the cap, @blacktabbygames.com ... Well done, all over again! 💘

"There is no doubt among scientists even if other people still refuse to believe it."

Even after all these years I still find the fact that something like *this* was on the official soundtrack of a version of "Sid Meier's Pirates!" incredibly amusing. Only in the early 90s. 🏴‍☠️💿🔊🎶

WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY

May the Schwartz be with you

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

Yanks are devolving this AC discourse into “it’s just their backwards culture actually, they’re just choosing to hurt themselves” at the kind of speed they usually reserve for countries they’re about to invade for economic reasons.

Hi Brands, Heatwaves haven't been cute since the 1990s, but you could maybe still riff on them up to COVID if you were super lazy. 2026 is end-times heat and people are dying. It's prolly time to retire "COOL DOWN WITH OUR HOT DEALS" emails when birds are falling out of the sky

Ah, so I'm not the only one. That's worrying. Why does the Nestlé CEO always pop into my head when I think about datacentres

With hardly any media coverage one of Britain’s few world-leading sectors is, right now, being decimated. The university funding model does not work and anti-immigrant hysteria has deprived the country of the means by which we met the shortfall: international students.

Also a sane computer for crazy times. I wish it the best

Fuck yeah! Reform just got beat in Wrexham by, among others, a 33rd-generation Shaolin monk whose father was an Chinese immigrant. Wamp wamp

Are we allowed to politely chuckle at / tolerate Count Binface as part of the legacy of eccentric English electoral politics, or is he a credible rightwing threat to the fabric of society? I always get those two mixed up

If "smart" speakers were invented first, and someone today came out with BUTTONS™ people would go ape for that shit. It would DISRUPT. "So I don't have to shout a whole sentence at it and wait for it to understand?! I just, touch it, once? Bruh. No way dude. No freaking WAY"

"The ocean’s bottom is at least as important to us as the moon’s behind!" Worth thinking about again as NASA is suddenly worried the Moon might not belong to America...

You can also play "Chiles headline or Morrissey song?"

In 1976, more than 250 shoes were found in a #Roman well in Welzheim, southwest Germany. This is one of the largest finds of Roman footwear north of the alps. The shoes were discovered in a well in the eastern fort at Welzheim. After the fort was abandoned...🧵1/2 🏺

I feel like small matters such as “selling off most of the things that help governments to make themselves useful, out of pure hardcore ideological conviction” and “a pathological loathing for investment in services and infrastructure” may also have contributed

I never thought YouTube would be a rich source of memes in 2026. I never thought Imgur would be illegal in the UK in 2026 either, tbf.

Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable.
