It is staggering that Meta, a company that exclusively makes things nobody likes and spends billions developing failed product after failed product, continues to exist.

“People with knowledge of the device, who declined to be named discussing the product, describe it as a ‘holdable’ rather than a wearable. That means it’s a small, dedicated device that people can pick up and talk to throughout the day.” 🙄

Quite an impressive amount of this statement doesn't even add up. Calling anyone anything doesn't deny their heritage. Englishness is not an ethnicity. Linking Englishness with citizenship at all is bizarre, neither one relates to the other.

The British right has now descended to the point where 'the England team are not English' is becoming the consensus position

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

Caught a showing of Transformers The Movie last night. I don't think a 73-act story has ever been handled better than this.

Even though the Halo franchise has been gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations, at least Bungie, the original creators of Halo, have also been separately gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations

Satellite/probe thingy. Experiments in lighting, surfacing and render settings in #Lightwave3d 2026. Simple subject, but everything fell into place and I absolutely love this one. Synergy in action. #Scifi #ScifiArt

This is interesting, doubly so because there's nothing interesting about being in a Dunnes.

You know what's kind of funny is that it seems like a lot of people had a good joke about the blandness of Ed Sheeran's music all queued up to go but were holding back because it felt too mean for someone who was just irritating and hadn't done anything bad, and now it's like go time

100% the vibe that Lanterns poster gives off

This looks like it would capsize as soon as it fired a shot.

Just seen a complaint that Blue Sky doesn't contain nearly enough silliness, so, y'know...

What a fucking world where I find myself writing letters like this to my MP.

RTÉ has confirmed that Ireland will not take part in the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest and that it will not broadcast the competition.

How does this look cheaper than the original!?

Rollerball (2002) TMDB score 40% In this fast action-packed thriller, Jonathan, Marcus, and Aurora compete in a dangerous, fierce sport called Rollerball. Although, Johnathan and Marcus try to quit, cruel and vindictive promoter Alexi Petrovich encourages them to still participate. #movies

First thing I saw this morning. #catsky

This is the guy who refused to do pretty basic research into the difference between "water resistant" and "waterproof".

very funny to pretend that bluesky takes toxicity seriously when their lead engineer is openly posting like this lol

DS9 would keep revamping and relaunching every year till people liked it.

Holy shit: I just saw it - the summary of AI - It is wealths attempt to access skill, whilst skill will not be able to access wealth.

The whole morning I've been misreading it as "Piddlington".

The arts industry in the UK: we contribute so much money to the economy but we are dying, please help Lisa Nandy: Village Parish Council: we held a pretend referendum Lisa Nandy: I'm listening

Interesting!

Like this short, punchy blog from @jakesteinberg.substack.com. Jake does something useful here in highlighting how many reviews treat criticism like inspection, identifying problem areas and determining if the product is sound. jakesteinberg.substack.com/p/perfectly-...

I guess it's just a side-effect of having about 12% of the country's population concentrated in one place, but I sure do end up hearing a lot about transport infrastructure in a city I barely know.

The anthropic whistleblower is like "no other activity has the potential to create human extinction." Well, speaking as someone who works for a climate think tank, I can think of one

I cannot tell you what absolute fiction this is. AI is heading for a crash and this cackhanded Terminator narrative is being engineered to save them. The fact that the unsubstantiated testimony of a former employee has been the top story on BBC News all day is absurd and irresponsible.
