Jelly Babies are basically Turkish Delight. Prove me wrong

My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

Do you think Avanti knew they were going to get roasted in one of the sketches when they booked a slot in one of the #snluk advert breaks?!

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband; son of a man who had to flee the Nazis: I'm Jewish BBC News: 😠 are you, though? You're doing it wrong Fascist Daniel Thomas, in between attacking teenage cricketers and rnli volunteers: I'm Christian BBC News: 😊

Reminds me a lot of this from 1996... youtu.be/xLzQIalpziM?...

WHAT?! #spellingbee #nytgames

Do you think the whole >10% thing is a symptom of the AI industry knowing the bubble-burst is almost here so they're actively encouraging governments to intervene, ban their work, and bail them out to stop them progressing? @edzitron.com

25 years since this thing came out. I’m very fond of it, it’s possibly the most personal thing I’ve made and, if I’m allowed to be proud for a day, I’m rather proud of it. All 8 eps up on Channel 4. #TheArmandoIannucciShows #Ch4 #ABigEgg

My graphic design has really caught fire, without anyone really knowing, ever since I started using the typeface Inspector Sans.

Not sure giving me a heart attack thinking the nukes are on their way was necessary to persuade me against using disposible BBQs tbh

Please don't accuse men who read books on public transport of performative reading. Except maybe this guy...

If you pile your furniture in the middle of your living room then set it on fire, you will have the warmest house in your street, for a few hours.

do you wanna tell math-based ghost-stories, or is the poor little baby 2²

Comparing coverage of the Belfast and Edinburgh attacks, it seems that if politicians politicise and racialise a crime, then it will get far more attention than a crime that is in itself political and racist but doesn’t serve a political agenda. That’s not a good message

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

And yet amazingly no riots and calls for all white men to apologise for the actions of the attacker. Islamophobia is rising across the UK, stoked by political rhetoric and far right ideology. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If the bloke wielding a knife and attacking passersby was a Muslim all today's rolling news and political programmes would be coming live from the streets of Edinburgh and Farage's ugly mush would be on every show.

Still got this pack of cards. Prized possession.

Did Reform lose because they were too woke? A columnist earning 8 times your salary assumes the answer is yes, and investigates from there.

It has been ten years since Jo Cox MP was murdered by a far-right extremist while serving her constituents in Batley and Spen. Today, we pause to remember Jo and her belief that “we have more in common than that which divides us”.

Today, we remember Jo Cox, who was murdered ten years ago. In her maiden speech, Jo famously said: “We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Ten years on, those words are a powerful reminder to us all: We have far more in common than that which divides us.

Just finished 2nd series of #BrokenVeil Creepy, thrilling, immersive, hugely entertaining & brilliantly unsettling Script, performances &, oh my god, the sound design all superb Bravo & thank you @gralefrit.bsky.social & @willmac23.bsky.social I will Patreon you until the obsidian cows come home

What I was walking past as the subject of Blake's Urizen came up in Ep 7 of #BrokenVeil as I was listening to it on my way home today. I shit you not. @gralefrit.bsky.social

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

Bold move by the crossword writer in the UK's i newspaper. But they likely realised that the typical Reform Party fan doesn't do cryptic crosswords so they're maybe safe from their ire. For those struggling with it - the key for is primary - take the first letters of the words.

Listening to @juliansimpson.bsky.social's Crowley while also listening to @gralefrit.bsky.social's Broken Veil II makes them both even more atmospheric and bewildering! I mean not literally at the same time, that would be insane. And prob also drive you there too.

the collective noun for homophones is a heard
