I have a strong need to disobey, so I often eat things labeled "Do not eat" or "Not for human consumption". Today I ironed something I was wearing because the iron manual said "Do not iron clothes while wearing them". Was careful not to burn myself though.

TBH, with a literal handful of exceptions, you can have the old high street back if you are willing to knock down and densify the actual buildings on, in and around the high street.

I am a doctor. I wish that I could prescribe dildos to people. We could in the Victorian era. The amount of people these days getting random household objects stuck in their arses is getting ridiculous. Please, you're an adult, just get a proper and safe dildo, for fuck's sake.

Food. The standard at the mid market in the UK is actually pretty high.

Daft selfish idea. Wouldn’t be surprised if carbon fuel lobbying was a source of funding for this.

Apple TV is home to “Severance” and “Ted Lasso.” But our critic thinks this underrated program is the streaming site’s best offering by a mile. www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...

Oh my DAYS

there is a kind of collective suicidal exhaustion in the 70+ crowd as though the unspoken wish is to beat the end of civilization by being entombed alive with their family and possessions to all die together, the friction of living finally at an end, suburban pharoahood culminated

Perl long ago disappeared up its own arse, python is on the same trajectory: let's face it, bash is by far the best language for prototyping. Give me a decent bash compiler and I'd never go anywhere else.

@hockeyviz.com I found some beautiful data viz for you

I’ve got an idea Satya, if you have a bunch of “developers” they can produce “games” which you can then “sell” in exchange for “money”.

Surprise!

OMG I've just realised what Google's AI search interference model is: An automated mansplainer. Think about it: Unsolicited ✅ Confident ✅ Frequently wrong ✅

guys please stop falling for this, this is not “rogue AI” it’s “environments with lax cybersecurity controls”

Why are Gen Z more anxious and less workplace ready? It’s a mystery.

More Britons are failing to comply what used to be seen as civic obligations. Disparate, sometimes important and sometimes trivial, overlay them and it seems like something has slipped in the relationship with the state

ICYMI - A genetically modified pig kidney kept a man off dialysis for nine months before a successful human kidney transplant, according to a world-first report in The Lancet. Read now: spkl.io/633257r8p1

Headline: 'Shoplifting has become totally normalised': The crime blighting communities across England' What's 'normalised' is poverty. What 'blights' is poverty. Without poverty, the only shoplifting would be the cri(m)es for help of the guilty, filthy rich. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

In the movie version of this, after Piddington runs out of food water and money as a result of leaving the UK, the residents apply for asylum and end up housed in a military base, with HILARIOUS consequences. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My cocktail came with a rasher of candied bacon. I didn’t expect this.

Every headline about AI this weekend is just this post from 5 years ago

Controversial opinion maybe. But anyone saying anything other than Don’t know (MAYBE neither?) is an idiot.

The government also doesn’t know why I’m riding a train or using the internet. The issue with data centres isn’t the transparency of their use. But the resources they consume space they take and their impact on the places we put them. Attack the tangibles.

I don't know why or how "picky bits" entered the national lexicon but it's a cursed phrase and needs binning off

Today's Pragmatic Engineer newsletter [https://t.ly/ltiYl] was talking about Meta's misguided attempt to fire everybody and replace them with AI. Zuch was evididently thinking (if you can call it that) that mass layoffs would make them look more like a startup. 1/9

There is no greater driver of economic growth than good public transport links. Look at the boom of the Elizabeth Line. People who whinge about the costs of it are just short-sighted morons. Ignore them and build everything. HS2. HS3. Crossrail 2. Trams in every city. Just do it.

hi have you seen the massive Beluga planes that fly smaller planes around
