My job in 2019: "Make porn sites work better, so adults who pay money to view porn will want to pay money to view porn." My Job in 2026: "Draft a compliance plan for Eastwestern Tennabamaho's new 'porn sites confirm viewer's blood type every 10 seconds' law, so Visa doesn't drone-strike my house"

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

A Post Office (well, 'Post Service') counter.

I find it funny when people looking to monetise Bluesky will post stuff like "remember to share, likes don't do anything other than show the poster you liked their post". Imagine being so algorithm-brained that you forgot what liking meant.

What is consciousness? What is sentience? These are philosophical question that have been asked since the dawn of time. How lucky we are to live in a time where 7 people in Northern California realised the answer is “being able to predict the most statistically significant next word in a sentence”

Farage only gets twice as many votes as the joke candidate in an essentially uncontested election. Well that joke's out of the way; back to the enquiries into Farage's many crimes. At least it made reform look ridiculous.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

A reminder that, in June, Reform reinstated Sunderland councillor Glenn Gibbins, a man who suggested Nigerians should be melted down and used to fill potholes. Nigel Farage did not report this to the police, did not demand he face legal consequences, and still welcomes him in his party.

Went to a concert venue and they forced me to remove my prescription glasses.
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Yes, they're Meta glasses but with clear prescription lenses. So I understand why they forced me to remove them, but is it legal.
Went to a concert venue where they have a strict no recording policy. Can't bring recording devices into venue. Ok cool, I totally get that.
My Meta glasses are my every day prescription glasses.
It didn't even dawn on me not to wear them.
Removing them made it difficult to navigate the venue, and climbing steps. I absolutely could not see the performer even though our seats were fantastic.
Does this violate ADA laws?

A conversation between a client and an engineer that is hypothetical for legal and contractual reasons: C: "make it do A" E: "A not B?" C: "Yup, A is our policy" *time passes* E: "Here you go. It does A." C: "Why doesn't it do B?" E: "Because you asked for A" C: "Why did I tell you that?"

archaeologists have unearthed what many are calling "the most metal shit anyone's ever seen"

photo of a bronze age sword embedded in earth surrounded by bones. Info from the article:

"Archaeologists in Nördlingen, western Bavaria, have unearthed a Bronze Age sword in extraordinarily good condition. The hilt is octagonal and made entirely of bronze. It dates to the late 14th century B.C., the Middle Bronze Age, but it is in such good condition that it retains its shine."

A long time ago Natwest won me as a customer when a lot of banks were outsourcing their phone support. Natwest said you could call our branches or a UK based contact centre. What I need is a service provider to go "do you miss the human connection? Call our human contact centre today".

Some of the small spot illustrations by Eric Fraser that accompanied the Radio Times magazine’s weekly listings for the BBC’s 1981 radio adaptation of Tolkein’s “The Lord Of The Rings”.

An apparently outclassed Eowyn in mortal combat with Angmar, leader of the Nazgûl. The style is of a bold woodcut.

In a forest, the Hobbits Merry and Pippin sit on the “arms” of the Elk Treebeard while discussing matters with him.

The destruction of Mount Doom. Lightning bolts fire out from a mountain’s summit while a blast carries away its mid-section.

“The Grey Havens” - Three figures on a hill watch a lone ship sail out to sea. The trip ahead is shown to be sunny, leaving behind the rainy skies over the land being left behind.
