Bread AND circuses? In this economy?
I don't want to be part of the problem but perhaps if hundreds of people not-harass this dickhead every day he might figure it out
Jim Waterson@jim.londoncentric.media · 24h agoFilm a woman twice and you risk being arrested for harassment. Film lots of women once, upload the footage to Instagram and TikTok, get millions of views, and you're legally good. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-fil...

James Blunt seems a great dude but there's serious Arnold Rimmer energy at times
Why do you never see cats or dogs wearing specs? Astonishingly this is a sincere question
Even AFC Wimbledon's own reporting calls Mir a "legitimate businessman" 🤔
Martin Calladine@uglygame.bsky.social · 5d agoAFC Wimbledon is planning to sell 90% of its "economic rights" to Dr Omar Mir, Baron of Thorntoun, who runs the European arm of G42, the UAE's AI spytech firm, with Marty Edelman, a long-time Man City board member. He bought the barony and we can't find his PhD. josimarfootball.com/2026/10/28/t...
Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or *and* Sexiest Man Alive in 24 hours is good going.
Sometimes I think I'm cooler than the average middle-aged white man. And then I see something like this and turn into John Cleese :(
Listen. I am not a perfect parent. But whatever else happens, my children will always know that I cared enough to fuck them up MYSELF
thank u, hexed@lindsaykingmiller.bsky.social · 7d agoMe: I don't see any reason to use AI Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing? Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?
Can any reader beat this - finishing a standard game of Uno with *seventeen* cards in my hand?
I'm putting a lot of weight on my instinctive response to AI, which is "people who don't use AI will become hugely advantaged and sought after in every sphere of life", being correct 😬

The NHS Guidance on trans people in hospital will protect zero women but will badly harm trans people. What a hateful disgrace and will be remembered by future generations as a stain on us all.
I choose to believe this is the column in its entirety
My take on this is a bit different. I always thought I *was* a bit weird, & embraced that, self-consciously. But being into alternative music isn't weird; nor is liking medieval history etc. Best I can *actually* do is claim nerdiness & mildly off-centre attitudes, while being a straight white dad 😔
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 3w agoQUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?
Not quite in the spirit of this, but for decades my mum refused to work with, or support her clients to work with, Harvey Weinstein, who was enraged she had the nerve to do so.
katie dzwierzynski@kdzwierzynski.bsky.social · 3w agoalright everyone, tell us which famous person your mom dislikes for indeterminate reasons
Can anyone think of a retailer or an online company which is a) great and b) run by a high net worth individual who's perfectly happy to make an indefinite loss?
I'm watching a show about seminal sitcom Porridge. I remember Fulton McKay's character being an angry grandad. He actually looks like a youthful John Inman with a moustache
Grown men who refer to people as surname-plus-a-Y is just such an ick
Covid-19 comes along with a 1-2% mortality rate and the whole world launches an unprecedented multi-trillion dollar war to suppress it. AI comes along with a "10-50% chance of human extinction within 5 years" and I can't finish this fucking sentence, I'm so disgusted
😊 I made a game about British birdsong and time travel. The newest level is set in #Ely, starting about 7000 years ago... 🐦⬛ Listen to birds, guess who's singing, and collect the dawn chorus. 🦻It's built for accessibility and free to play bird-times.lovable.app #IndieDev #GameDev #Birdsong
They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.
This is spectacularly, mouth-openingly cool. I got a boy in 3rd century China who died immediately after birth. Oddly powerful and moving
kottke.org@kottke.org · 4w agoAny Human Ever randomly picks an average person from some point in human history and tells you about what their life was like. Mine was a woman born in 1547: “Of all the sounds of her life, the loudest were thunder and the church bells.” [anyhumanever.com]
