"Trump says he will respect midterm results 'if they're honest elections'" - he does realise the buck stops with his administration if they aren't, doesn't he? youtu.be/9r0m9r1XzXw?...

At this stage in the timeline, I'd much rather he was quoting the @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social version of the dark future than this "getting high on my own supply" AI nonsense

Is it just me, or do even RFK's vocal cords sound like they want to give up and stop saying the ridiculous garbage that comes out of his mouth?

Even now, when people are discussing their favourite soft drinks, this is the one that to comes to my mind

A bad week for Trump and co?

I just love this particular @ellisjrosen.bsky.social evil squirrel cartoon

Video game mashups: Donkey Pong.

It is, when all is said and done, a book about a boarding school... 🤷

Re-enchantment is often a remembering, a discovery a map already tattooed upon our bones.

Reminder that when establishment figures complain about "elites" supporting progressive causes, they're - knowingly or otherwise - using that term in the same way they might also use "rootless cosmopolitans" or "cultural Marxists".

And as an aside - you should not doubt how fucking uncool D&D was in 1998 as a game, and how poisoned that particular well had been for a while. Baldur's Gate turned that around, and if you do want a road from D&D then to D&D now, it does strike me that Bioware's needs more credit than they get.

Do you know, I'm starting to think that Donald Trump might not be the most competent or reliable source when it comes to this matter... 🤔

The coven as amplification. The coven as a community of intent. The coven as calling storm and drawing of the line. Witchcraft as a guerilla act. Witchcraft as resistance and communal defiance. But yes, explain to me again, how my witchery has no political role. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

Day 7 The Ooser, based on the Dorset Ooser, a hollow wooden head part man, part horned beast that was a part of Dorset folk culture in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was possibly used to scare people in a kind of public humiliation for those who had behaved immorally. I have prints in store now

Seeing a lot of articles recently talking about events running the risk of reviving the Tories' "nasty party" reputation. I must have missed the memo where said reputation somehow magically disappeared for an unspecified period of time...

Today's #earworm - Fear Loves This Place by Julian Cope

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

Very funny show by @misterabk.bsky.social tonight - highly recommended seeing him. Also, top notch deployment of David Devant and his Spirit Wife as part of the interval music - not heard that song in years 🦰

TL:DR - our political/media class gambled an enormous amount of their credibility and legitimacy on America’s noble War On Terror, and *they lost disastrously*. Rather than admit they fucked it horribly, they have doubled down on militarism and propaganda again and again. Look what they’ve now done.

Wait a minute - is this a test..? I don't want to get kicked out before I've learned about sentient cheese...

This morning's #earworm - It Ain't Over 'til It's Over by Lenny Kravitz

The press have decided to reimpose the two party model and unfortunately, that requires “pretending to believe Kemi Badenoch is doing a good job”. Which is pretty bad, given she’s a disastrously online wacko.

"What we want to see is that people who work harder don't get punished for doing so" There you have it folks - according to Kemi the fact that you're not making £100k a year is because you are lazy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is time for people of courage to walk away from Labour www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/09... They have had their chance. They have blown it. We need a real alternative in this country now. They will never be it again.

It would be hugely amusing if this was a bunch of black shorts (masks and white transits seems to fit the MO) who thought every RAF base is likely to house migrants, and picked the most well-defended one out there

One dizzying-yet-oddly-fun aspect of thinking on timescales this vast is the reminder that our concept of "world geography" is just the briefest instant, a single ripple, a shadow thrown by firelight. Here's one projection of how things will look 250 million years from now. Look at those mountains!

Isn't it wearyingly predictable the self-serving bollocks rich people come out with to justify themselves? BBC News - Billionaire Man United owner says he has lost confidence in the UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️

The "AI will kill us all" hyperbole is obviously shonky, and for reasons that are unsurprisingly mundane - money

Today's #earworm - Justice in Freedom by Thee Hypnotics

Is it just me, or does this Piddington nonsense seem a "organically grassroots" as those black shorts nob heads terrorising our ports? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was thinking about Neuromancer and the distinction between constructs like Dixie Flatline — an LLM with the memories of the real dead hacker — and the AIs ‘Neuromancer’ and ‘Wintermute’ — which have artificial general intelligence. Anthropic et al. are selling Dixies like they’re Wintermutes.
