Somehow this has hit 100k views. Humans have spent over a year watching an incompetent man unloading cold lay tarmac from a wildly unsuitable vehicle.

Having a fun morning digging into the very weird usage of AI by Kent councillors.

I just got multiplr strikes for saying his back was turned.
I feel obliged to share this masterpiece from my brother:
2026 will be the year of the Fire Horse - which doesn't sound in any way apocalyptic and we shouldn't be terrified. 👀
Every single commercial entity that has ever had my email address is emailing me for Christmas... No matter how tenuous, even online pharmacies want to know if I need any last minute Christmas drugs.
A great opportunity to unsubscribe from everything and clean up my inbox for January.
I'm at that stage of work where you go 'Tee hee, I can put this off until January, which is several years away. I'm so clever!'
And in a continuing experiment that many are calling 'ill-advised' and 'undignified' you can check out a short film accompanying the Substack post here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlIp...
Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed.
Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?"
Hewson: "Yes."

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

Evidence that autistic people have altered pain sensitivity. Autism largely genetic. Autistic ppl take more painkillers, & during pregnancy, then when their kids are diagnosed with autism the use of paracetamol is blamed.
An explanation I've pulled from my arse with more basis than RFK's nonsense.
O'Malley for Deputy Leader!
I'm not a fan of Labour but the pressure put on a working class woman to resign when she broke no laws has been astounding compared with the fact that Sunak and Johnson both broke their own laws and continued to be PMs and cabinet minsters.
The only people who have spoiled the nature of this area were the mindless thugs who came to our homes last evening and created chaos.
I’ve never been scared by the asylum seekers. I’m terrified that the angry mob will return.
So, how do I get *my* country back from them? I’ve genuinely no idea
@jamesomalley.co.uk I bet you and @mjrobbins.com have opinions on this.
Screenshot of a headline which reads ‘public must stand up to shoplifters, says policing chief’
The day I stopped caring if people shoplift was the day Tesco put security tags on the baby formula.
Saw a black hot air balloon in the sky as I drove home, and reached for my rifle because I've been playing too much Death Stranding 2
one of the great tragedies of our age is how many people are willing to view AI as magic because they don't understand how it functions but unwilling to exhibit any humility at all towards more important things they understand even less (like the climate or medicine)
Don't despair too much, James. The Pandemic Sciences Institute in Oxford has a new building under construction right now - funding from Cyrus Poonawalla. www.psi.ox.ac.uk/news-and-opi...
I do understand that NHS waiting lists for ADHD diagnosis are shit, but buying a package off Groupon where you are only seen by a pharmacist on a zoom call who subsequently “diagnoses” you with ADHD after a single consultation does take the piss.
This is why GPs decline shared care, it’s unsafe.
Two pairs of jeans laid out on a bed, a black pair and a blue pair. The blue pair are laid on top of the black pair, and they are clearly about 1 inch smaller all the way around than the black pair.
These jeans are both the same size, according to the label. 🙄
Would anyone like a free ticket to the first two nights of my Edinburgh Fringe show? This Wednesday and Thursday? DM me! They are technically previews so perfect technical goofs guaranteed
Also before any replies - yes, she has been asked to be quiet, her response has been aggressive. Her immediate neighbours have taken her to court over the noise, and nothing has changed.
The council is trying to evict her. This seems to be impossible. Hence my daydreams...
I have an awful obnoxious neighbour who constantly blasts out music and sings along loudly.
She particularly likes Adele. I daydream about paying Adele to come over and tell her she's a cunt.
it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught
You and @scotchbox.bsky.social are t-shirt pals
