Do any of the Ellisons have eyebrows

Shabana Mahmood is a fascist who gleefully took the side of goose-stepping thugs. That's all there is to it. The fact that she was allowed to remain in her post after Burnham took over tells you all you need to know about the Labour party and their supposed fresh start

Trying to figure out what exactly is going on in Roman Sands. Why are there alchemical symbols everywhere? How do I get to the thing in the basement? Why is this lady being so mean to me?

it’s fine to be skeptical of these things. i was a skeptic myself until recently. but i think fear is at the root of this skepticism, a fear of its power. people are simply not ready for what’s coming. it is powerful, it is alive, and it is quite possibly god

If you think that any AI, real or imagined, 'changes what it means to be human', then you are a Grade A Moron. Profoundly stupid view

Saw 'Comedy' by Zach Ruane in London, and I really enjoyed it! Alternatively smart and silly, and it was obvious he was having fun with the idea and the audience. 2 thumbs up, but it's a shame you Can't Say Anything Anymore

This is the same who guy lied a whole bunch to get an ADHD diagnosis then freaked out when he took the meds he lied to get his grubby mitts on. "I don't have diabetes, and when I took insulin I got really ill!" Yeah no shit brain genius. They should take your degree away.

As of 13th August, this isn't true, Bluesky. I feel like having your shitty AI lying about election results is some kind of an offence

Bluesky's trending box, which has the number 1. result 'Farage wins Clacton seat', which currently isn't true as polls have only just opened

Thematically Bilbo's Deadly Slice is a really funny card because of the Bilbo connection. Goblin? Killed by Bilbo. Gollum? Killed by Bilbo. Smaug? Killed by Bilbo. Gandalf? You guessed it - killed by Bilbo.

MTG card: Bilbo's Deadly Slice, 1BB.

Destroy Target Creature.

Played at The Hobbit prerelease! Had a pretty good time, black-red goblins are a good archetype. MVP was Long-Bodied Grey Dog, who I did not put in my deck but is a very good boy

Looked up Beorn from The Hobbit to see what he looks like in the new MTG set, and was jumpscared by his appearance in the films. I completely forgot he was in them, and I blessedly forgot his human form looked like *that*. Had to double check it wasn't from some forgotten 90's tv adaptation

Gotta say it's kinda unpleasant that a lot of people are yelling at Emily Wilson for, essentially, having a view on a film. Otherwise progressive folk going 'she owes Nolan because now people will buy her book!!!' or 'she's just jealous and her translation was bad!!!'. Like, come on

A lot of the podcasts I listen to have Twix ads in them, and I cannot emphasise enough how offputting I find these specific adverts. I want to buy Twixes less now, not more

I would suggest that if you are a political pundit who genuinely does *not* understand why Sir Keir Starmer was so widely disliked, you are terrible at your job

We're seeing PM resignations happen quicker and quicker. If the model holds, by this time next year, we will have had approximately 47 new PMs with an average term time of 8 days

I do get the feeling that politics in the UK aren't fundamentally real. The press choose a new guy, and the rest of the country just kind of goes along with it

I didn't really have any strong opinions about MPs drinking during work, but I've seen the fuss they're making about being lightly called out and now I think ~50% of them need an intervention

Spent the day at the Strixhaven prerelease! Didn't do great, but Witherbloom is fun when it pops off. Best pulls: Emeritus of Woe, and Decorum Dissertation (which I never got to play). Workhorse was, Pest Mascot a cheapish card that grows to a big threat

R.e. Mandelson failing vetting, it does feel like Starmer isn't told much of anything important. Didn't know about Jimmy Saville, didn't know about Labour Together being massive bullys, didn't know about this. What does he know? Does he know his multiplication tables, at least?
