why would they skip review? to be clear: i’m not in favour of this, but there’s no denying that AI code generation is at a point now where previous hours/days of writing code can be done in minutes. let’s just hope the art/creative side is still human, but that’s probably wishful thinking.

can’t imagine many places are hand-writing code these days. it’s literally 10x faster to use an LLM

the graph might be fake but i think the effect is real. i just opened X to see what it’s like and it’s completely different. possibly coincidence of course, but seems unlikely.

i actually think it’s coming from keeping labour’s triple lock changes. has she said anything about supporting/abandoning care plans?

state pension in most these high earning countries is based on your salary when employed, but they don’t (normally) get a pension from your employer on top of state pension.

if you want to get a message out, it’s either instagram reels or laura kuenssberg interview. there’s nothing in between.

i decided it’d be a good idea to kill some time by watching Obsession for the first time at about 11:30pm. it’s been a difficult evening.

do you know if anyone has done a similar analysis for the effects of offshoring/rightshoring? it seems anecdotally most entry level roles are going to india or portugal.

i’m convinced Andor is the the only good bit of modern star wars stuff we’ll get for this exact reason. it’s not afraid to be morally ambiguous

people calling things a false flag is almost always, in itself, a false flag

yeah i can’t even look at videos that have the one-word-at-a-time subtitles. immediately irritates me no matter the content.

people not from manchester really don’t understand how much people round here like burnham. for most in the north west he’s andy burnham first, labour second. he’ll replace reform as the anti-starmer vote for a lot of people.

Joe McFall @joe5-0.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
burnham works as both the anti-starmer AND anti-reform vote.

fexofenadine (which allevia is) takes a few days to start working but it’s been a miracle worker for me. pro tip: tell the pharmacist you get rashes (they’ll probably know you’re lying but it doesn’t matter) and they’ll hook you up with the higher strength tablets

can paid journalists please stop saying ‘psychodrama’. it makes zero sense in this context

it’s a bold strategy to say “i should stay as leader because we’re doing terribly, everyone hates us, and it’s all my fault”

oh god. she sounds almost normal here. potentially worrying for starmer who has recently had the aura of a panicky thunderbirds puppet.

how can mark guehi still be in contention for winning the fa cup after being knocked out by macclesfield? i admit i don’t know how ‘being cup tied’ actually works but surely it should apply here.

“have you been here before?” is the worst possible question to be asked at the start of a meal.
