I don't disagree with the concept of accent bias, I just think there are maybe better examples of it than a Mancunian in the East Midlands.
People taking the "AI is good in some ways and bad in other ways" approach remind me a lot of the dril tweet about drunk driving.
The death of Jason Arday is yet another case of the barbarism and cruelty of our media in tandem with the gleeful bigotry that drives it .
The British press are the scum of the fucking earth
On a train. Taking up two seats, one of which is occupied by a bag containing my parents' ashes. If anyone objects, I am prepared to make things extremely awkward.
Last day clearing out my mum's house before it's sold. This cat is currently asleep outside the back door, which I'm choosing to believe is a good omen.
🎵 I'm dropping off the grid Before they pump the lead I leave you with four words I'm sad Liddle dead 🎵
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · last mo.Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
On the one hand I don't particularly like the OP and I don't agree with the point they're making, but on the other hand almost all of the replies and quotes are from Americans who don't seem to understand that other countries exist

Jordan aka Jirdan@slclunk.com · last mo.I think it’s good we are relitigating public health measures while RFK Jr is on TV ranting like the lunatic he is
Just to get ahead of the rumours, YES, it's true that I am no longer based at Redwall Abbey. I was asked to leave by the abbot after saying "oh, just some plain toast for me thanks" three days running.
Tyrannosaurus Rex being top of this poll was inevitable, the same way the Christmas number one single is inevitably shit. The British public are idiots, and vote for the LadBaby of dinosaurs.
YouGov@yougov.co.uk · 2mo agoWith a T-rex skeleton selling for $50m at auction on Tuesday, our poll shows that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is Brits' top dinosaur, with 30% listing it as their favourite T-rex: favourite of 30% of dinosseurs Stegosaurus: 12% Triceratops: 11% Diplodocus: 10% Velociraptor: 7% yougov.com/en-gb/articl...
Think Thomas Tuchel might be a bit shit at managing football teams tbh
Wild to think that England could be two wins away from retaking Gascony.

"Verify your age" The streets were paved with broken cassette tapes
Jeff Billington@facesofjeff.bsky.social · 2mo ago“Verify your age” Sometimes there was nothing on television.
every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act
Pulisic kicks the back of Tielemans's foot so hard he turns himself into a GTA wasted animation, and Tielemans doesn't even appear to notice. You love to see it.

My condolences to the United States Men's National Team, who soared so high and came so close to triumph, only to fall short in the last 16 on account of all of their players being shit.
Great bit of spontaneous nominative determinism from Matt Freese
Every time an American lawyer tries to explain why FIFA's actions regarding Balogun are fine actually, it sounds like Charlie Kelly with a thesaurus.
I haven't seen Jordan Henderson fall this badly since the time he was widely liked and then decided to go play in the Saudi league
Instead it just required a phone call from a notoriously corrupt president to a notoriously corrupt governing body. Very refreshing.
Michael McCann@mccannsportslaw.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf Folarin Balogun were a college athlete, this would have required federal antitrust litigation, state 3rd party beneficiary claims, a conference suing a member, arbitration, multiple bills proposed in Congress and an executive order or two. Refreshing to see sports figure things out without law.
This is transparently corrupt, as was waiving Ronaldo's ban after he was sent off against Ireland.
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 2mo agoFolarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.
Well done Paraguay, but my main takeaway from the game is that Alan Shearer genuinely despises Germany.
Ben Stokes is a colossal egomaniac dickhead
