On a train to Cologne, 1st class is empty and there doesn't seem to be a conductor. Why is everyone just standing in 2nd class? Wake up sheeple

Yo, it's midnight and I need to buy a ticket for your public transport (because it's 2026 and you don't have tap to pay), your ticket machines have an English translation, helpfully, but Google maps is showing the names in German and your ticket machine is showing the names in English.

So Digger is a film about Tom Cruise playing Digger Rockwell in a play about Digger Rockwell? Yeah this movie is going to bomb hard.

Wait, isn't Cornell the one that's having a pretty bad time in the press right now about its own students?

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

there's a few too many that had roughly great starts and then bad ends... first few seasons of Lost, great, last few... same with the american office. they're only including season 1 of true detective, so they should say what they mean about the other shows

I just finished The Fisherman by Chigozie Obioma, which is utterly sad but the prose is very beautiful. It reminded me of the The Sympathiser, with how formal the writing was. Reading Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie next.

Cost of living too? £20-30pp to see a comedian perhaps, plus a few drinks £24 perhaps, maybe a bit of food before or after another £30 to £££, and the travel too. Starts becoming a £100 night out. Book on advance and maybe run out of money by then, or on the week of when finances are stable?

Rather odd request, and a very long story, but do I have any followers in Badajoz 🇪🇸 who could lend me a bike Saturday morning to cycle to Elvas 🇵🇹, buy some Interrail reservations, and then return to Badajoz before a 14:00 train? #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail

maybe they do in AISI, but everything else the govt is doing in the tech sector points to a lack of experts or ability to listen to experts

I'm all for boosting internet infra, but part of me thinks it's not really internet infra that's really the problem (ok maybe in like a village of 100 people), but it's still social aspects like managers who want to see heads in chairs, companies with multi year leases on buildings etc

Racism and control, sure, but alcohol is banned on TfL services, of which she was on the Overground, so she was doing something that was banned.

Jared @jarede.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
i mean sure... but the difference is purely one is banned and one is not... that's not to say that these women would not get dragged if it were banned on great western, but you can't make the comparison cleanly.

Jared @jarede.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
The Diane Abbot stuff was awful nonsense, however there is a difference, Diane Abbot was on a TfL service where (wrongly) alcoholic drinks are banned. I'd assume these are on a national rail service, great western or whatever, where alcoholic drinks are not banned
