Maybe it's just something to accept as a feature of the age, but the only way to avoid ubiquitous vocal fry in podcast ads might be to join every fucking pod patreon which is gonna hurt my pocket...

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Was listening to "We Carry on" by Portishead when the alert went out, and if my phone hadn't vibrated I would have assumed it was part of the song.

Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"

Well the danger on the rocks is…weirdly vanilla? As expected Chazza Nolan’s version of any story is the most WASP-y imaginable. Give me “Oh Brother” Tim Buckley and his oyster, “The Warriors” or Short sighted Jimmy Joyce’s massive cuckold wankery.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Can someone explain why Michael Gove is all over BBC Radio 4 in recent weeks? Has he got compromising negatives of someone senior stored in a Swiss vault, or is he now considered a slightly edgy national treasure? if it's the latter then: eeeeeew (Disgusted_Clint_Eastwood.gif)

@zackpolanski.bsky.social why has your Urdu election advert got pictures of Keir shaking hands with the Indian PM? Doesn't feel relevant to Gorton and Denton. I can hear the dog whistle.

London’s “worst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

Who's the billionaire behind London’s biggest mass eviction?

He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

Day after Alex Pretti killing I complained to BBC about presentation of White House statements and evidence as equivalent. Duty of balance doesn’t extend to complicity with clear lies, I said. BBC could and should report WH making false statements as a *fact of the story*. Today I got response …

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

They have the "Safe Harbor (sic)" parts of the US DMCA which shields them with regards to user-generated content - the big beasts can say they can't be held accountable as long as they offer "some" ways to take content down. Ironically this was something left-libertarian early internet types wanted!

Local Facebook groups are a window into a horrible aspect of UK public opinion. I'm certain this guy was a fervent campaigner against VAWG before he saw that someone with a non-anglo sounding name had been arrested for SA, but I could be wrong and he's just found a great excuse to be racist...

screenshot of a post on a rural facebook group reporting the arrest of a man for rape, a response to the post saying 'Every day I see a new atrocity committed by people we're told are actually just like us. Bollocks to this, if radicalism is what it takes to end this madness then l've been radicalised"
