I do wish the weirdo over the road would stop staring through my window. It’s creepy af.

A photo, taken through a window, of a house on the opposite side of the road. It’s dark, but one window on the house is lit up. If you zoom in enough, you can see a large, round, white, furry soft toy with a wonky smile looking towards the camera.

Exciting times for the opening up of Bluesky, the first spambot I’ve seen here.

Fair play, this is a good line from this unnamed Tory MP.

Screenshot from an article, the text reads: ‘By Wednesday morning, Tory ministers felt secure enough to be making jokes about the ostracisation of the 6ft 7in Sir Simon. As one put it, Sunak had survived “the knife of the long knight”.’

the boeing situation is depressing for a lot of reasons, but a big one is that proper old school safety engineering cultures should be having a moment, in light of all the techbro "what if safety critical hardware were actually like software" foolishness

Hi! I recorded a little mini-special called “Trauma Response” with Don’t Tell Comedy! I am really proud of these jokes, and I hope you enjoy them! It would really mean a lot to me if you’d watch the set and comment share it if you like it! Watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTpq...

Everyone wants to leave Twitter. Bluesky is an alternative - but why haven't we leapt there yet? For @fastcompany.bsky.social, story 524 of the year, I spoke to folks at Bluesky about why they're building something bigger www.fastcompany.com/91002426/eve...

Less than a year now to the end of this 2019 Parliament, by automatic operation of law. This means that the government has less than a year to get any new primary legislation through parliament, and with no scope for using Parliament Acts to defy the Lords. The end is in sight.

Did u know? When drawing specimens underneath a microscope for his groundbreaking book Micrographia(1665)Robert Hooke (my hero)saw that cork was made up of tiny sections. He said they were so small, they looked like monk’s living quarters - “cells”….and so the term was born…🔬🐡🪲🐙

A pic I took of the page in the book, The Man Who Knew Too Much. The biography of the achievements of Robert Hooke. This section refers to him coining the phrase, “cells”.

Excellent piece, specifically about Substack, but generally applicable to all platforms, particularly those that aspire to libertarian content moderation.

Sunak was quoted as saying “the fact the Labour wish to ignore is that good humour is up 30% under this government. Why don’t they want to talk about that?”

Article from the Guardian with the headline “Sunak denies that he is ‘tetchy’ under pressure”.

Esther McVey, the apparent “Minister for Common Sense” making a mockery of her job title.

A quote from Esther McVey stating that the current Covid inquiry should be looking at whether we should have locked down during Covid at all. There is no mention of how our health services, which were dangerously overstretched at the time would have been able to cope with yet more patients.

This piece is excellent, if depressing. I’m not sure that the Conservatives deserve to continue as a political project after presiding over this, although I am concerned that, were they to die, whatever replaced them on the right would be worse.

On my way back from DFA1979 at the Garage, and fuck me, what a band they are. They’re just astonishingly good, and that’s before you consider that there are only two people on stage. If you enjoy live music, go and see them. Really.

I'm disappointed--no, angry--with MSNBC for this. Read the room. Read the moment. Listen to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's intelligent and necessary contribution to public discourse. MSNBC draws backlash for canceling Mehdi Hasan show www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

MSNBC draws backlash for canceling Mehdi Hasan show

Mehdi Hasan, a liberal host whose tough interviews and pro-Palestinian commentary went viral, lost his MSNBC shows but will stay with the network.

It is an utter tragedy that he died not in a prison cell, he should not be missed by anyone, not even his family. Fuck this monster forever, his death probably didn’t even hurt
