One of my many rightwing opinions is that in aggregate, we get what we ask for. It’s not a coincidence that our periods of growth coincide with people going “yeah, screw it. I want that nice thing”.

not many people know this, but the world best cocaine comes from the enchanted forest

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

I am feeling attacked

I had a fess published a few years ago about how I couldn't connect with my lifelong pals cos all they wanted to do was booze and take coke. I told them how I felt, turned out they thought the same and now we climb Munro's on Sundays. Lads, talk to your pals.

“I'm guessing that if you're Palestinian you've got plenty to be cyberpunk about, especially if you're publishing from London and Milan in September 2026.” — Bruce Sterling bruces, machine-translation aficionado diffah.alaraby.co.uk/diffah/books...

Starting my diet on Monday

Dolly Parton was born 180 miles from where I grew up. Hadn’t known that until today.

Think the discourse on “lanyardian” is missing the far crazier part of this, which is that it’s a conversation between two people who now believe that saying “UK” is a weird, Starmer-like affectation. Margaret Thatcher used it, because it is literally the name of our country!

Ah Bluesky. Never disappoint me. A fine sentiment from the kind users of Bluesky.

"A blockchain-backed cheese loan collateral program" no less

TIL: that parmigiano is used as loan collateral

Oh

"Asked if the £5m figure was accurate, Arday clarified to the Guardian that the money was raised with the help of “many fundraising collectives over a two-decade period”. When asked to identify other people…Arday said he had signed NDAs preventing him from disclosing that information." 🤔🤔🤔

*walks into room of mathematicians* Have you considered DOING A BREAKTHROUGH.

Tate Brothers Vehemently Deny They Did Anything Consensual

Utterly ridiculous to charge this reprehensible single man. Land grab by an authoritarian state. Free speech means saying obnoxious and offensive things.

I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film

England my England

This is the way a left wing figure can give a goodbye to Ann.

I have no idea where this came from, but

Another new record: Temperatures of 35C or higher have now been recorded in May, June and July of the same year for the first time in the UK weather record, says the @metoffice.gov.uk

Good night

Beautiful

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Dogs really know how to tug on the heart strings. Farewell to our beloved Mo. Nearly 14 and part of the family. He had chased his last squirrel, dodged his last shower, and turned the telly on in the middle of the night for the last time.

I was just thinking, there's a lot of celebration for something that should've been 9-0...

🇺🇸 US Supreme Court rejects Trump bid to end birthright citizenship A 5-4 ruling is surprisingly close... FT www.ft.com/content/8ee0...

Some amazing World Cup facts from Goldman Sachs.

Honestly the state of the pro trans debate is just awful these days.

The fact that neither Telegram nor Discord is on this list is absolutely *wild*. Driving teens from YouTube to those two: clearly a great and well thought out policy.

Me too! She’s fab. Thoughtful writer

Not often I disagree with @stephenkb.bsky.social. But his suggestion that the Nowak case is an isolated case of 'the word of two people at the scene against the word of one' badly misses the mark. We cannot overlook the context of 'antiracism' in which this takes place. www.ft.com/content/aa94...

And that's how it became a slam dunk case of trademark infringement and domain squatting. With the help of a lawyer, I GOT THE DOMAIN.

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.
