This Tory Nazi bloke was standing just a stone's throw from where we live here on the Dorset Somerset border. Alas there's a hill in the way. Preventing me throwing the stone.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

If there are three things that trans people need to remember if they’re using toilets in pubs, restaurants etc., it is these:
Fired up #GT7 for the first time in a while, hoping that that the Power Pack had a decent update. But no, you still can't hide the driver name bubbles from above cars. So I'm still not playing. Waste of money. Yes it's picky, but c'mon.
Alas, and not really MS fault, it won't have my favourite Forza Motorsport or Project Gotham Racing titles. My most wanted backwards compatibility games are caught in a web of expired licenses.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Sorry to be going on about it but this Glen Hansard thing has middle aged (mostly) men queuing up voluntarily admit that they are either themselves dangerous to women or completely cool with other people being dangerous to women as long as they seem pretty sound to them. Over and over again.
This is the sort of privilege you see when you're not part of a group likely to be attacked by such a monster as Liddle. It's all japes and hijinks in Fleet Street.
Writing in the Spectator a few years back, Rod Liddle expressed his hope for the eradication of trans people. Though, obvs, if any trans person expresses anything less than total grief, total respect for the deceased eliminations, we are monsters!
As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Rod Liddle vilifies disabled people. I’m tired of the hate. We all should be | Frances Ryan
Whether it is ME patients or another target, huge swathes of the media have normalised hatred of minorities for years, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4d agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
I wish I'd been in Halifax last night. Not often people say that, I imagine.
Despite being a massive fan of the franchise I've not played as much Forza Horizon 6 as I expected. I fell off 5 because of the poor map design. The Japan map in 6 fixes that. And yet I just don't feel the draw I once had.
I know they are there for a good reason. But I get irrationally and disproportionately annoyed by the leaflets in medicine packets.
I have no idea why #Argos, the home of "Not in stock for collection. Not in stock for delivery", has failed.
Almost all criticism of heavy metal music with female vocals is rooted in deep misogyny, that refuses to hold male fronted bands to the same standard.

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

A brief rain shower here in dusty dry West Dorset. I went outside to enjoy the brief few minutes of coolness. It was a bit like a Flake advert, if you're into fat, ugly, middle-aged men.
