iron rule of British politics is even if a guy who dresses as a bin becomes prime minister he will have been to Oxbridge

Count Binface, who studied at Corpus Christi, was described as “maybe the people[’s candidate]” by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, while defence secretary Dan Jarvis said “good luck to him”.
This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

DRAMA [Easy: Success] - "From the creators of Disco Elysium." Taste that sentence. Roll it around. Notice how it never specifies which creators. The ones who were fired after asking where the money went? No. The ones who fired them.
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Trivial: Success] - Four concept
sketches. Sold for one euro to a shell company, then sold back to the studio for four-point-eight million. The surplus purchased a controlling stake. This is called a leveraged buyout. SHIVERS [Challenging: Success] - Every one of them still dreams about it. They built a home together and then someone changed the locks. They are not allowed to go back. VOLITION [Godly: Failure] - You have all of the information. You have had it for years. And here you are, reading the review section, looking for the part that makes it okay. $40 to cross the picket line. You'll tell yourself you're "supporting the developers who are still there."

People yearn for episodic shows (this is why Reacher doesn't count)
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 3mo agoA kind of tv show they don’t make anymore is “Guy Comes to Town, Then Leaves.” Kung Fu, Incredible Hulk, Highway to Heaven, things of that nature. We need more Poker Face, that’s all we have left.
I cannot overstate how completely insane this story is
Saskia Daniel@saskiadanielceramics.com · 3mo agoThis is quite the story.
The problem with political violence is it just emboldens fascists to build more ballrooms
It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.
in gaming when someone in the lobby is obviously out of their league they're called 'boosted'- they either bought an account or paid someone to level it up CEOs are boosted every one is a Special Boy who's life has been reaping the rewards of other people's work and having zero ability themselves

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead
"AI is clearly here to stay" folks it hasn't even been around for as long as the Zune
I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.
Are magic 8 balls conscious? We simply do not know.
John Warner@biblioracle.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.
Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.
I'd be fuming if I was Keir Starmer right now. Imagine being the last person in the country to learn about Peter Mandelson. The whole country knew, and no one thought to tell the PM. Shameful day for Britain.
