The wood guy is Tung Tung Tung Sahur, and I believe the fly's origin story is that someone typed "make gigachad fly" into the AI and it proceeded to make him ride a giant fly

Is this actually true for Sony anymore, considering that even the PlayStation 5 is basically just commodity PC hardware? It’s basically an AMD PC with integrated graphics and shared GDDR memory between the CPU and GPU.

It’s a stupid quote but the policy is whatever isn’t it? A GCSE pass in English isn’t a particularly onerous requirement.

It was a Labour gain, it’s a multi-member FPTP seat. At the May elections, the top candidate was Labour at 28.2% and the second candidate was Reform at 27.1%, they both got elected. Now, a by-election has been held for that second candidate.

Nah this looks exactly like what you'd get if you left an agent to decompile and re-write an application. Using them is also very janky.

Have you considered that the primary contention people have with the motion is not just its title?

Not to us, because it’s largely just used for dogs and other animals, but I think in America it does have connotations of an insult used by black or white people towards mixed race people to suggest they are impure

Better to use HMRC, Trading Standards, etc. for these purposes. Occupational licensing bodies always frame their mission around consumer safety and professional standards, but the structural outcome of their lobbying is just economic rent seeking.

Is there any real notion that these supposed money laundering front barber shops won’t actually give you a haircut if you go there? Is the point to limit the number of barber licenses given out?

As someone who doesn’t know every MP, I had a chuckle clicking on the bio and realising it was a LibDem MP arguing for pointless occupational licensing

Devil’s advocate for that position is that the man owns a house in California, went there quite frequently, and maintained US permanent resident status up until it was no longer politically tenable. Given those facts I’d like to think I’d have made the same assumption of a white PM.

I don’t think AI is the issue here (the non-AI way to do it would be a shitty 2 minute photoshop job) it just makes no sense. LibDems haven’t been the primary, secondary, or even tertiary electoral force against Reform in the last two years.

When these towns were prosperous their comparative advantages were things like “North Sea access” or “beach close to London”. You’re not going to build a software cluster there without putting your thumb on the scale very hard. Nor will you convince me to visit Clacton Pier instead of Ibiza.

Yeah places like this have often had money pumped in and some regeneration projects done but the problem is that you don’t change people’s lot very much unless you improve employment and opportunities there and to do that doesn’t tend to be easy.

Not sure current polling shows signs of their floor being found yet, they certainly haven’t made a recovery from their lowest post-2025 levels afaik

Not literally SNL, I just mean a left leaning relatively unknown comedy writer. Though I think a lot of people have begrudgingly concluded SNL UK is not that bad (clears the low bar of the original)

Yeah, though I remember back then Perez was being genuine that he wasn't interested. It took another month for the Ferguson-Beckham relationship to boil over and Madrid didn't seriously step in until Barca made an offer first and Beckham refused it.

I find that implausible between this, the S25 Edge last year, or the 3.5mm jack removals. It’s a hell of a coincidence that Samsung always makes their lineup match Apple’s even when Apple does something boneheaded. Given how often it happens the only other explanation is Apple copying them.

I think the passport form factor is them pre-empting the foldable iPhone coming out next month which is meant to be the same. Between this and the Air-like phone from last year I find it fascinating that they’re able to do their engineering fast enough to copy Apple before Apple even releases.

I fully agree that we need broad based tax increases but I’m not sure we’d be a happy society if people had their discretionary spending taxed away as a point of principle

Average Brit spends ~20% of their income on purely discretionary spending (eating out, entertainment, etc) which in theory means the even the average Brit should be able to afford to donate 10% of their salary to charity. I think that’s fine.

Nathan @lnt.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Yeah that’s fair, he should donate to whatever GiveWell currently recommends instead
020
Nathan @lnt.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Tbh I don’t think Burnham deserves inclusion here because donating 15% of your salary to charity is a totally reasonable thing to do at that pay level, and as someone who also does something similar I’m fine with encouraging more people to do it.
