Not sure I really understand the people who use Bluesky to routinely quote post Twitter posts. Like, wasn't the point of using Bluesky to get away from that quagmire?
I'm kind of hazy on this, but I'm pretty sure the last time Germany elected fascists it didn't go so well, right?
Farage said he "deplored" anyone wearing masks or balaclavas at public demonstrations. He added: "You should not be allowed to be masked up, balaclava-ed up and go out and protest on the streets of our country. It is wrong at every level." Welcome to your core vote, sonny jim.
In honor of Uber shutting down in Nigeria this week, here’s my favorite story about Uber in Nigeria.
"No longer are Reform comfortably leading in all the opinion polls - in some they're not leading at all." I do wonder if Chris Mason understands words sometimes. Since Burnham became leader, Labour lead in roughly twice as many polls as Reform. "Some".
The SNP have spent a large fraction of their 20 years centralising power, and are continuing to do so. I wonder if their voters consider this ironic?
Ordered something from Germany. On the invoice it literally says: "Dispatch mode - UPS + Brexit surcharge 26,01 €"
I mean look, it's just a clumsy way to make SpaceX semi plausibly resemble an AI company, so that investors invest.
Bleddyn Bowen@bleddb.bsky.social · 2w agoRidiculously sized satellite given it’s about 3/4 the length of the International Space Station. And Musk wants hundreds of these in orbit. The scale is staggering for so little energy (only 210kw worth of power!) compared to terrestrial data centres. www.ft.com/content/41e6...
It's kind of wild that, as far as I can see, there's been no polling at all on Scottish Parliament voting intention since the election in May. Totally normal country.
I think what’s most important on exam results day is to talk about yourself to imaginary teenagers who don’t use this website.
How does Sturgeon not just die of embarrassment? Completely shameless.
I'm not sure I understand the business model of Starlink (and similar). Like, no one in a city is going to need to use it, surely? The rural market is by definition quite small. Rich military customers maybe?
It's sort of wild that the US president declares war and announces peace deals 3-4 times a week now and it's just...barely even news any more? Could it be unhealthy? Who can say!
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · last mo.Update: No deal, back to war, Trump says.
All these AI companies failing to practice the most basic sandboxing and firewalling protocols. Either they're incompetent or...
For someone so interested and obsessed about AI, Rory Stewart really doesn't seem to understand what it is at a basic level. So frustrating to listen to. IT IS NOT THINKING.
If I make a mistake, avoidable or otherwise, I think I'm still willing to apologise for it.
I do wonder what some people (with large followings) on here think they're accomplishing by calling out random anonymous newspaper article comment replies. It's just deeply weird and pointless.
It annoys me more than is rational that the F1 clock's minute hand hits its mark a second later than it should do. It should be in sync with the second hand, not lagging behind it!
And not a single one of them is a serious candidate.

Am I the only one who (besides other obvious objections) finds it vaguely offensive that Elon Musk is naming his data centre after a historic British computer?
Reuters@reuters.com · 2mo agoElon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm
