Your data scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I spent 8 years living in a village in the middle of nowhere not far from an immigration detention centre. On one evening I was locking up the pub (for clarity I worked there I hadn’t just broken into it) Two men appeared from the pub car park shadows. They were walking slowly towards me

What I love about that six word Hemingway story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" is that in those few words we instantly grasp the sadness of what it is trying to tell us: the baby was so freakishly massive when it was born that it could never wear the shoes its parents had bought for it.

Introverts can go days without talking to people and it’s never anything personal. They can wake up, do their own thing all day, not exchange a single word with another human being, and be completely fine. Sometimes they’re just happy in their own little world

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

One of my favorite rhetorical and analytical moves is joining things (showing that different, seemingly unrelated ideas are part of the same phenomenon) and taking them apart (resolving paradoxes by demonstrating that what appears like a contradictory thing is different things, lumped together). 1/

Companies realized profitability goes up when you just fire employees and let quality die. Private equity makes more money destroying industries with enshittification. Silicon Valley makes more money selling empty hype than products. There's now more money in destroying our world, not building it.

I'm hiding this under a pic of Frank because obvs word count issues. Here's how to complain to the Electoral Commission about Reform's 'vote for us or you get concentration camps' bullshit. Details in the pic.
Cut and paste the below and send to the Electoral Commission addresses at the end:

"Formal Complaint: Undue Influence and Coercive Campaigning by Reform UK

Dear Electoral Commission Regulatory Team,

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the campaign tactics recently announced by Reform UK on May 4, 2026.  

The party's home affairs spokesperson has publicly committed to a policy of "prioritising" the placement of migrant detention centres—with a proposed capacity of 24,000 individuals—specifically in constituencies and council areas that vote for the Green Party. Conversely, the party has "guaranteed" that areas electing Reform UK representatives will be exempt from these facilities.  

I believe this constitutes "Undue Influence" under the Representation of the People Act, as it uses the threat of infrastructure placement to pressure citizens into voting a certain way or to penalise them for their existing political affiliations. This tactic appears designed to:  

•⁠  ⁠Intimidate voters by threatening negative local consequences for their democratic choices.  

•⁠  ⁠Incentivise votes through the promise of specific geographic exemptions that are not based on administrative or logistical necessity, but purely on partisan alignment.  

Threatening to punish specific geographical areas based on their voting record is a violation of the principle that elections should be free from coercion. I urge the Commission to investigate whether this policy breaches the Electoral Code of Conduct or the legal prohibitions against intimidatory behavior in campaigning.  

I look forward to your response regarding the steps being taken to ensure the integrity of the 2026 local and further national elections."
