Nobody’s cites ‘fancy special effects‘ as their reason for liking their favourite Doctor. 9/10 times, it’s the one with the cardboard backdrop and bloke in a costume putting on a funny voice

I kinda tuned out at season 12 because it was just getting a bit samey but I respected it for the representation. It's just a shame that it was pretty much the only drag content that got any mainstream airtime or promotion

I get no choice on the Sheeran one, it's on the council's AI generated Slopify playlist at the market where I work.

I just had to explain what "mogging" and "maxxing" were to my son and I'm not sure this is how parenting is supposed to work

Something I saw that made me stop & think. The highlighter and full stop before the conjunction irks me though
Text box that says: “Wasting time” might be one of the strangest accusations we’ve ever invented. Apparently you can waste 2 p m by sitting under a tree doing nothing. The afternoon was going to pass either way. The Earth was going to rotate either way but because you didn’t convert those hours into money, errands or improvement, we decided the time itself was wasted. As if simply being alive isn’t enough to justify an afternoon.

My iPhone4 works just fine but I can’t use it for anything more than a phone because none of the apps work. I hate buying tech products because I know that they’ll just brick one day and I don’t even get the choice to use my solid Ericsson T39m bc they’re turning off all the 2G transmitters

I think it’s the accounts who post Liberal memes without comment or alt text that are some of the worst on here. There’s nothing you can do to stop it appearing on your feed, other than block it when it happens. Yes, your president is a cunt, I don’t need to see his AI-filtered ass on a daily basis

It’s weird how ‘every man is a sex pest’ translates into ‘I’ll just go after a minority rather than demanding meaningful change in mens’ attitudes towards women

Ah now that would mean competition as well as money out of the pockets of the corporations and they do not want that. Expect big lobbying to squash it before it even gets off the ground

I want the UK gov to take this very seriously and honour the results of this clearly well thought-out and contingency planned referendum. Piddingxit means Piddingxit.

Limmy walking down the street, arms outstretched in just a jacket & trousers without a shirt saying "she's turned the weans against us". In this case he's got ginger hair badly m s painted on to represent him being Ed Sheeran, the weans are his backing band and the he is Macklemore

Not to sound ultra-capitalist but we had a market traders' meeting where I was pleading the case for there to be core hours where everyone's open (yes, stalls open late and/or go early) & another trader said "what happens when you decide you've made enough money for the day?" What is this "enough"

I totally passed him by but The Algorithm recommended his NPR Tiny Desk concert where it was just him and a loop pedal and I've gotta hand it to him, he was pretty good at it. Knowing that he uses a loop pedal explains a lot of his music tho

The right-wing oligarch media are working VERY hard to discredit the Green Party. That’s because the Green Party is the ONLY party that challenges the status quo and really centres ordinary people. Please share widely.

'Well Republicans have made this a big attack point which we gave you the chance to clarify but you didn't' And that is why the media will wrangle the opinion of the public to get them talking about culture wars, not the scam that is happening to them right now

Reflecting on this, the Terry Jones video & the Bass Maltings article (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...), brought it home that we don’t have jobs to give us something to do anymore. Work is dominated by big corporations hell-bent on bigger profits & we just went along with it. youtu.be/uke3Y43F-BQ?...

AI uses a shit-ton of electricity, drinking water & pumps out unbelievable amounts of heat and slop but in the grander scheme of things, big oil has been cooking the world for over a century.

As a satire on the Anthropic dude, this is top tier. The oil industry is a far more immediate threat to mankind than AI (which does pose a significant threat)

I bought their album on tape in 1988 as a boy. I bought the CD version at the turn of the century bc I still liked the music. I refuse to stream either the music or videos, or make any direct reference to them but that doesn't change how I feel about the music & memories I associate with that time.
