Whilst shock PSAs may not work for some, I remember the 80s and seeing billboard pics of folks with mouth cancer caused by nicotene pouches, and whilst they may have solved that issue, it's so indelibly etched into my brain I wouldn't go anywhere near them. Not in this lifetime or the next.

Nicotine pouches can be marketed as 'lower risk' than cigarettes. Is that dangerous? www.npr.org/2026/08/05/n...

Yes, but in fairness I don't work for OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other AI company, so it would make absolutely no difference to my everyday life.

I have one answer.

The thing you have to remember about Rod Liddle is absolutly nothing, he was a terrible writer with abhorrent views, and like his output he will quickly be consigned to the rubbish bin of history. We didn't lose a great thinker, a cunt died and the world healed a little in their absence.

There a whole slew of English men who expect a pat on the back over the abolishment of the slave trade. Like a mass murderer wantting a pat on the back for not murdering people anymore.

Man who shagged his girlfriend behind his wife's back lectures the Archbishop of Canterbury on Christianity.

I remember as a kid the Radio Times giving a scratch and sniff card away, I’m guessing it was for something like Comic Relief or the suchlike. But still a little gutted it never became a regular thing, think of the shows that would be improved if you could smell them.

Emulation isn't just about preservation these days. It's become a protest against an industry that turned to shit and the corporations that fucked it.

J.K. Rowling is an anti-rights campaigner. You do not need it to be written down to know that's a fact. Her actions speak for themselves.

The two are born from the same root, the nazi term was "Kulturbolschewismus", promoted as the destruction of western culture, which itself fuelled the equally batshit cultural marxism conspiracy theory Hate is born of cowardice, those with power scared shitless of conceding an inch to those without

And look, I'm just going to say it: antisemitism is doing to the US political left (not just leftists/DSA) right now, before our very eyes, what transphobia did to the British political left, and anyone who doesn't see it is choosing not to.

Cool use case of chatgpt work I heard last night: connect your family callendars and explain your kids interests. In the morning before the drive to school take a bath with your fucking toaster, you failed at life, game over.

Feathers in your copy of Edge Magazine. That's the 3DO Legacy I guess. Otherwise what has the 3DO done for you? Let's see what you could have been playing if you had £500 spare in 1993 youtu.be/bs1wTnnMLoU

If the BBC is looking to make cuts, may I recommend they take a look at their sports output. There’s many billions that could be recouped right there.

If she’s really concerned about reputational damage, she needs to take legal action against herself.

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors

Had a bread and cheese Omelette for lunch. It was like being a student again.

Is ADHD a social construct? No. But prioritising the creation of wealth over the living standards of a nation’s citizens most certainly is. Do a fucking program on the latter.

Comte. Other cheeses are good, some are great, but Comte fucking rocks.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

Most of the consoles under the TV are plugged through an old Yamaha AV receiver. So many inputs and it handles upscaling really nicely.

One thing that does need to change about social media. I do not believe any politician should be able to disable replies to their posts.

Is it Donald Trump standing with the three people who most inspire him? I mean Gandhi was a racist who apparently slept with his underage neice, JFK had numerous affairs, so I'm guessing the fella on the right must be Charles Manson.

Anyone know what this means? 🤷🏻‍♂️

People are allowed to express really ill conceived, or just downright ignorant opinions. It is by far the best way of knowing that you should block them.

Seeing entire economies swallowed up into sepculative markets based on percieved value instead of tangible assets, and tech evangelists promising things they don't even have the ability to deliver really makes you think. Peter Molyneux was way ahead of his time.

I still think the high point when it comes to adaptations of greek mythology is season 2 of Jim Henson's The Storyteller.

The AI companies don't just want training data, they want to deprive everyone else of the source. They need you relient on their regurgitation machines, to remove your agency, your creativity, and your critical thinking. It's the largest social engineering model the world has ever seen.

I'd like to think something happened to John Cleese to make him like this. But according to Miriam Margolyes he was always a cunt.

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last wk.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

I'm only going to do happy things today. So will probably see you tomorrow.

One minute he's claiming he needs security, the next he's issuing an open challenge.

Isn’t this the job of a jury of twelve at the end of a criminal trial when you’ve been cross examined and evidence presented?

Hear me out, how about a film obout old Scrooge where it turns out he's Jack the Ripper, but he's eventually brought to Justice by Tiny Tim? And it's set in space.

I don't think Americans really understand the Odyssey greatness. They may think they get it, but for years they were completely ignorant. The fact that "Use It Up and Wear It Out" was a number one hit in the UK and didn't even chart in America is proof enough.
