Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.

What more fitting way to remember Rod Liddle’s life and work than by making nasty jokes about someone who can’t answer back

Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

I wonder what else might come to light about Liddle I. The next few months. Keep receipts like these everyone…

Looking forward to the following installments in this series of documentaries, like "Clinical depression, or just lazy and dramatic?" and "Is cancer really fatal, or do people just not fight hard enough?" #ADHD #channel4 #FFS

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

Written a bit about the massive influx of abuse, threats and targeted harassment I've received due to The National reporting accurately on the far-right's activities and aims. TLDR: The National won't be silenced. www.thenational.scot/politics/264...

Two years since that guy at the race riot was taunting police before getting hit in the head with a brick then as he was walking away rubbing his head he took one to his dick

Hadestown really is one of those pieces of art that’s endlessly fascinating. I keep reading how people react to the proshot. I have so many questions. Right more the main one is about Hades and his decision to make the release of Eurydice conditional.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

First thoughts: Hmm, this sounds like an ad for AI, but let's reserve judgment. Article: "The faculty that it [AI] is going to put out of a job are those that continue to resist and don’t experiment." Nope, this is an ad for AI.
