Dune is about a bunch of over-privileged douchebags fighting with each other over the right to establish fiefdom over a downtrodden population and dominate a scarce natural resource that's the foundation of their civilisation's wealth.
So, you know, pretty relevant to today.
And this is why you should never trust subscription-based software. Especially not if it's made by Adobe.
text from an adobe email which reads: We’re contacting you to let you know that Adobe will be discontinuing Adobe Animate on March 1, 2026. As an existing Animate user, you may continue to use Animate, but please note that technical support will no longer be available after March 1, 2027. Please note that access to your Animate files and project data will end on March 1, 2027. To ensure a smooth transition, we encourage you to export your Animate FLA and XFL files to other formats such as SWF, SVG, and MP4 files before this date. Customers with a Creative Cloud Pro plan can use other apps to replace some Animate functionality, including Adobe Express Premium for quick creation of animated videos and graphics and Adobe After Effects for more complex keyframe animation using the Puppet tool. All Creative Cloud members can also use free animation presets in Adobe Express to animate text, images, and design elements.
Wait, WHAT?!! How come I didn't hear about this???!!!
The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be…
The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
Well 3 days in and my hopes for this year to be less shitty than last year are already dead.
Trump isn't "supporting" the arts, he's weaponising them. You only get funding if you kiss the ring. If you crack a joke about his stupid hair, you get defunded.
That's not arts funding, that's propagandising for Dear Leader.
Drawing of a girl in a bikini, adult content.
Drawing of a girl not in a bikini, suggestive content.
I get the need for moderation, but moderation this uneven doesn't do anybody any favours at all.
First Contact has the best theme music of all the Star Trek films. Fight me.
Why would Trump pardon him? Because shit clumps together.
Helion claim that their machine will generate a massive magnetic pulse that can be harvested with coils of conductor around their machine.
Then again, Helion seem to be very good at generating publicity, not so sure about generating workable fusion.

Giving me Cool Spot vibes!
Why are people acting so surprised? Wasn't it obvious?
Has Twitter really started disclosing the location of its users? While it's pretty hilarious that all the "American" news accounts turned out to be foreign, that gives me the heebie jeebies regarding personal privacy.
Eh, I guess it's going to be getting a lot of training on annoying spam I don't ever read then.
Mate, if this incident from 2015 didn't end his career, or the incident where he bragged about grabbing a girl a girl by the you-know-what, or being on the literal list, I don't know what would.
He's shameless. So is his cult.

Well played
Still wouldn't go. Not so long as the spectre of MAGA looms. I have no desire to be anywhere near Americans just now.
I dunno... Trump seems far more like a symptom of a far deeper disease than the disease itself.
He never would have gotten into power had enough Americans been decent people.
Too many Americans are clearly not decent people.
This is why I have no intention of ever setting foot on American soil ever again.
I don't want to risk being targeted by fascists (though as a white dude I'm probably safe, some of ICE's victims have been white dudes) and I won't support them with my money.
I wish @moderation.bsky.app was a bit more fine-grained and not just tagging everything as "adult content". When everything from a bikini pic to what you expect adult content to be is tagged "adult", it kinda devalues it as a way of choosing what you're OK with seeing.
Anybody want to help him pack?
This is a day where I wish bsky had the multiple likes thing Facebook has, because I'd be voting 😆 on every fascist having a meltdown just now.
America is turning itself into the world's plague pit
Of course a shit-stain is proud of his bathroom
Shit, as a software developer I can no longer use one to many relationships in DB diagrams and I can't use the not equals operation in code now.
