I see Unbound Merino have started to use Amazon’s marketing algorithm… I don’t know how they do it. Pure wizardry.
Oh god… Did I just open my cameos up…???

At this point I firmly believe The Times thinks wind farms *generate* wind.
Nick Croom@nickcroom.bsky.social · last wk.I can't believe The Times isn't putting these front pages together to take the piss. WINDFARMS ARE BAD. THE WORLD IS BURNING.
I think we can all agree that the important thing here is that we keep giving lots of money to private water companies.
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · last wk.BBC News, "Both terminals at Gatwick airport have run out of water" "It means toilets there can't be flushed and hand washing facilities aren't working"
Look at these silly shits. Absolutely wankered on fermented bamboo shoots.

Date: What do you do? Me: I'm a kleptozoologist Date: Isn't it cryptozoologist? Me, stuffing my pockets with lobsters from the tank: that's a common misconception
Just seen Obsession and went in both spoiler and context free. First horror film in a couple of decades. Hold me, for the love of god fucking hold me.
I need every single person who’s trying to fill a hole in their soul via the pursuit of money to see how utterly useless it is as a salve. You’ll still be this unhappy as a billionaire. Be a normal person and fill that void by mildly entertaining teenagers with weird games.

@mikebithell.bsky.social seeing the latest chapter drop into my inbox and immediately reading it whilst giving blood is a *bit* weird 😂
I know I’m not alone but it really just came over me in a wave… Oh how I bloody miss Simon Ricketts 🧡
Rejecting using AI to make movies is like rejecting cars that hallucinate and run black people over because they were trained on white people in favour of normal fucking cars, George.

Right, what’s your least favourite game mechanic? Mine? Flashlights…
Imagine if NVidia hyped investors into cornering a huge segment of an unsustainable AI market (that won’t last beyond a year) in order to make console manufacturing and home pc building financially unfeasible, and then use these data centres to power cloud gaming instead. Just imagine…
What? Sorry I was miles away, thinking about the noun gender sorting hat they use in France whenever something new is invented…
To cap it all, hundreds of millions of people’s pensions have been unwittingly invested in this shit. And this isn’t like the economy; there’s no bailing these fuckers out. This is it.
Mike Bithell@mikebithell.bsky.social · 3w agoIf you use generative AI, alongside 20 other issues, you are massively exposing yourself legally. It’ll take a while for the hammer to fall on all this stuff, but it’s coming. It’s obviously and innevitably coming.
What a wonderful thing it is, to be curious and kind.
It's the "it's a happily ever after story" that kills me here. He seems like he was lovely, based on the stories that have made the rounds.

You could be telling me about the secret to eternal life but if you start that vid with “what’s up guys” I’m closing that motherfucker and dying young.
