Vile. The NHS should have nothing to do with this. I detest Wes Streeting for a number of things but overseeing Palantir infiltrating our NHS is one of them.

😢RIP Michael. Thank you for all the beauty. #illustrator #art

Kathleen Hanna and MCA sitting on a couch with the following text in front of them: Feminist musician Kathleen Hanna from the band 'Bikini Unalive' didn't want marriage. But she & Adrock from Beastie Boys got married because Kathleen needed health insurance

On TikTok, you have to refer to Kathleen Hanna’s band as “Bikini Unalive.” I think society is cooked and we need to destroy the internet.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

Any time soon they'll be embracing 15 minute cities

It's actually profoundly similar to the way that eugenicist anti vaccine organisations worked to disrupt messaging around COVID (and previously MMR)

I’m honestly really sad for all the close-to-retirement people whose lives will be extremely screwed up by the coming correction/crash. They didn’t really have much choice about this and were doing the best/only thing they could to save for retirement.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

drawing of cousin Oskaar from that one daylight savings time video saying “THINK ABOUT ME DAVE” with an anguished expression

it’s cousin oskaar time!

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

good, they already ruined a generation’s childhood crush on the Beast and if they had taken this away too we would have rioted

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

Seattle Opera, you deserve all the awards. I bow before you.

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

On the left is a picture of a Borg with cables coming out of its face and it says "This is the Borg". On right is a Borg with no cables and it says "This is the Borg with cable management"

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao

mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Alex: Yes, but the task...

Odysseus: The task clearly said that nobody could help me.

Greg: That's one in the eye for you, Alex

Alex: Another one.

What your Meta smart glasses record doesn’t stay on your smart glasses, ‘data labeling’ contractors say Meta contractors say they’ve been tasked with reviewing highly sensitive videos captured by the company’s smart glasses.

NEW: Contractors for Meta say they've been tasked with reviewing smart glasses footage in order to train the company's AI.

The contractors say they've seen videos showing wearers having sex, undressing & using the bathroom.
