The fact that even with zero context everyone knows who this is about says much.
Shout out to that time a librarian asked if they should ban a book that had a story about two daughters getting their father drunk so they could have sex with him and get pregnant. Then after being told obviously yes, pointing out it was the OT story of Lot and his daughters.
Maybe if they'd ousted Musk instead of giving him a pay rise...
Beloved of lawyers as well, for actually having a pretty good portrayal of how you do cross examination correctly. (LegalEagle on YouTube has done a video on it.)
I wish they'd make a new series. It's hilarious.
Are they doing random distribution of A, B, and C endings to cinemas again?
Nah, they're not. The poorly translated, ancient, and out of date book is just a justification for ... honestly probably a lot of things. Although religion is still a curse (because people make it one).
OK, that's a massive improvement. Cities really need more green spaces.
You really should stop chasing Sailor Moon cosplayers.
I can only assume anyone saying that has never actually spent time around women.
I have to assume that anyone who says he would be a TERF never met him and has never read any of his books in their lives.
I just read the summary for that and it sounds like someone read Brave New World and thought it was a great idea.
If I ever find a copy, I'll let you know. Interesting example of how the prevalent art style has changed over the years though.
My eyes went cross-eyed trying to read all that.
I can't imagine...
They have. China has several. Microsoft had a test deployment up near Orkney (look up Project Natick). Related idea, Equinix has one built next to Lake Ontario and uses the deep water for cooling the data centre; Switzerland is looking at doing the same on Lake Geneva, iirc.
Also, where is the source information, damn it :p I rely on you to find things to watch.
I can see it...
Counter point...talking machines are very useful to people who are blind.
They call us the forgotten generation for a reason (well, several reasons).
He cares about the US constitution about as much.
Aren’t we all…
I'm pretty sure Yorkshire as a whole would be up for it...
Working my way through "Summer Pockets". Beginning to think all the girls on this island are dead.
You know, the main thing I like about your posts is you give me things to go and, uh, acquire.
If they do they'd probably honk very loudly and attack them.
I used to have my status at work set to “largo al factotum”, but no one understood it. (It’s from “The Barber of Saville”)
I'm just as impressed by their dexterity, frankly.
...
The commune should be in Scotland too, so when they declare independence everyone gets Scottish citizenship too.
How is “transporting to engage in prostitution” different to “sex trafficking”?
If I do the paperwork I can offer Irish as well as British.
…isn’t that, like, all of them?
I was there. Novelty of seeing the people from the documentary that had been on not long before. And drinking the bar dry.
I think we all miss that. I miss not having to wonder whether today is the day that WW3 starts as well.
And let Ofwat know how appreciative you are too... (They only just got through fining Thames Water over £120m.)
Specifically they're 40...
ffs, Apple. In the middle of the day is not a good time for my phone to decide to update. This means I can't get in to my authenticator app to login to anything at work.
What's always impressed me about that scene is how a white material doesn't instantly become see through when wet.
It's basically a new version of the bird site, created by the people behind the bird site, before the shadow president took over.
...an idiot who is getting disbarred.
I mean, the trend was already downward, long before the various bans started coming in place in the late 90s and early 2000s. I'd say education and bans on advertising probably had a bigger part in it. They probably wouldn't even have been able to introduce the bans without the preceding decline.
We may need more popcorn.
Popcorn? *proffers*
Specifically there are about 40 to 50 UK military personnel on Diego Garcia. The remaining ~4200 are US military personnel.
The only ones I've seen I didn't immediately hate were the ones Abir El Saghir posted of herself. If Ghibli made an anime about cooking starring her, I would watch it in an instant.
for this, and for abled members of the community to speak up and contribute your time, money and energy. If you live long enough, you *will* become disabled. It could be tomorrow. It can happen in an instant. Mutual aid to disabled people is mutual aid to all: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-the-a...
Is he re-opening an old hole? It looks suspiciously like an old hatch or window opening.
There's something amusing about making a JAV cosplay involving a character that explicitly says she - and the rest of her species - have basically no interest in sex.
People want electricity. They just don't want to see the infrastructure that goes with it. If you disconnected the people who don't like seeing pylons, wind turbines, solar farms - or anything else related to generation and transmission - from the grid they'd soon get very upset.
...that's a perfectly normal word to use. Do some people have such limited vocabularies that they find any multisyllabic word suspicious?
In fairness, I'd have to look up what it meant too. Although I'm also literate, so I can just tell it's a different word to transgender, so...yeah. I'm pretty sure that however stupid we think he is, he's actually way more stupid.
I "downgraded" my family subscription to Office 365 to remove all the AI functions. I think Microsoft and I have differing definitions of downgrade, in this respect.
I suspect this is similar to how most people assume Sydney is the capital of Australia, rather than Canberra (and it took me ages to remember its name).
Unfortunately the government seems to be more interested in making it easier for people to bypass IP rights, so long as they're big tech.
"Leadership urged to show “courage” at key meeting to discuss billionaire’s fellowship." The importance of the outcome of the Royal Society's meeting today for UK science can not be overstated. www.researchprofessi...
Membership of a learned society is a privaledge, not a right; one you absolutely can - and should - forefit, if you act in a way that flies in the face of what it stands for.
Phillippa Forrester and Sophie Aldred will both forever frequent my dreams.
I've had life insurance since I was 18...
"turns out the US government payments work exactly the same way as every other government's payments have worked for centuries"
I'd probably have more luck talking to my cat.
"lol"
I've decided to give up with humanity, because it's fundamentally too stupid to survive.

Building a lot of wooden buildings in a post-apocalypic world entirely populated by beevers.
I just want another season of "Interspecies Reviewers", because that was funny as hell.
I kind of want to see the recommended videos that PornHub comes up with people who are watching her ML content. Or maybe scared. Maybe a bit of both.
LinkedIn is one of those things I have and pretty much never look at, except when I'm reviewing CVs and feel like doing some additional research on candidates.
Little bit…
I'd love to know how much the land value for the plot Sanzenri is sitting on has increased by.
The best thing you can do with Smash is use it as a potato based thickening agent. I'd never use it for actually making mashed potatoes.
I need this entire thread as an unroll and made it to flash cards, so that I can just hand them to family members when they starting talking about things they don't actually understand.
Could be, if you're deliberately interpreting it in bad faith way. It's pretty clear the intent is to say that if you're trying to base any form of argument on science, then you shouldn't be basing it on the simplified science taught in schools.
God I hate PPP at work. It completely derails and causes me huge anxiety and stress.
Not terribly impressed by the lack of any form of true 2FA here. Sending you an e-mail code doesn't count.
I am somewhat amused that the third account to follow me is @jesuslives.bsky.social.
