The unspoken conceit that everyone who could move here, would move here, has done this country a mischief.

You had Brexit debate anchored around antipathies towards East and Med European migration even among liberal Brits that all datapoints indicated was winding down as economies in those parts of the EU saw declining birthrates and greater prosperity. The former trend even affecting Turkish migration.

When doing imaginary stereotypes people tend to forget these pensioners exist.

I'm a White English non-religious man from Exmouth and Exeter East, aged 79. My top issue is big business and the rich. In 2024 I voted Green. Today I still would.

I listen to @disordershow.bsky.social It doesn't entirely match my viewpoint, but it's worth listening to But Jason Pack's view of DSA candidates, one which I encounter amongst many of the "never Trump US ex-rep liberals" that they're too radical is silly. They're running against fascists

Wish I'd remembered my linux install had a roll back facility before I'd spent 3 hours trying to fix whatever I'd done to it.

Why would he give them a moment's thought, unless someone working for the UK press asked him for an opinion about them?

Trump suggests he is reviewing US support for UK over Falkland Islands

Wishing past me, upon realising they'd bought flimsy substandard bin liners, had binned them in their replacement sturdy bin bags.

I've got a bottle of Maggi savoury seasoning, and it's taking much effort not to swig it. It's like superpowered soy sauce, and it's not been stocked nearby for oodles.

People who think exposure to a gender or sexuality in a game can encourage the real life adoption of those identities reveal something they don't realise.

And it's striking about three blocks away, think that was an intercept, but it still fell

I can see the missile in the fucking sky

Branded by the betrayal of an overly long loved oven glove

Logged into FB and the top post was racist shite from Rupert Lowe. I've loads of posts calling him a cunt, how can an algo being pushing his hateful shite, unless FB has elected to over-promote his drivel?

Not seen this before, but it's good nerd shit.

Don't really understand how, what's not really much more than github for open source AI packages, could have anything like that sort of value

Nvidia is eyeing a $13B acquisition of Hugging Face, Business Insider reported. It could bolster open-source AI dominance, challenging OpenAI and Anthropic's closed systems. https://bit.ly/4cJoFE8

I don't like to think I'm an idiot, but I heard something about "Canadian' youths in Asia". and it was some time before I realised it was about Canadian euthanasia policies

Elon's army of men 20+ years older than me trying to re-establish a patriarchy that their generation has proven to not work isn't very scary. They can't motivate anyone other than morons, and if have to go to war being stupid, I fancy the chances of people who've read strategy books

It’s important to remember that, disturbing though this is, there’s not going to be a ‘reconquista’ in Europe and that Elon Musk is an unhinged fantasist, rapidly losing touch with reality.

Today's the anniversary of the Canadians fighting for the British Empire burning down the White House. (Note I did not say on this day, because only things that happened today happened on this day)

Musk is using X to destabilise the UK. X should he shut down, Musk should be sanctioned, and Lowe should be arrested

To save anyone the other side of the pond having to Google Rupert - entitled, populist, racist, establishment type, that pretends to be anti-establishment and thinks King Charles isn't "white British", because his father was born in Greece.

Bad juju on the BBC vs Trump case, the judges have been replaced, one of whom is a Trump appointee who has a track record of being a bit too Trumpy.

Make a band bigger: They Probably Are Giants

Seen reports the UK is producing many thousands of pokey attack drones for around £50k each that Ukraine are using against Russia. What are effectively rough and ready cruise missiles at that price point isn't a bad thing to be mass producing, seen 100k units suggested but we'll see

Tried singing along with the endless scream. thought it might be lonely, fancy a duet, but it mostly wants the n00bs to stop turning their thing into a choir.
