I tend to consider hedgehogs as a symbol of Britain far longer-lasting and more culturally relevant than Winston Churchill.

I think I'd have used the phrase "shove your job up your fucking arse." Reminds me of the company I applied to that wanted all applicants to do a "personality quiz", including such questions as "have you ever felt suicidal?" They couldn't comprehend me telling them to get fucked.

Canada here. We don't have death panels, same way cities in Europe don't have Sharia Law or "no-go zones".

Fantastic. Google coded up a new update for the YouTube app on my TV, and now taking literally any action in the app crashes it. I love how everything keeps getting less reliable.

I just fucking can't with these fucking idiots. "So we invented a machine to control your thinking, and we willingly gave up all our thinking to it (and by extension the billionaires that own it). Now we're starting to realise we're stupid. Guys, I'm having a revelation: THINKING IS IMPORTANT!"

The more my life becomes fighting with constantly broken tools, while lazy easily-impressed cunts push AI on me from every possible angle, I start to think maybe the idea of making coding easier was a bad fucking idea. Nothing fucking works any more, and the answer is always to make things worse.

One more reason to leave things on my Steam wishlist for a while and not immediately buy new games - after 6 months people have found out if the devs used AI, whether they correctly stated so or not. I get chance to delete them from the list!

How strange that the administration toootally not interested in forming a dictatorship is obsessed with removing people in leadership positions, replacing them with yes-men, and dodging Congressional approval for appointees.

Been looking forward to Forgotten Island as being made by some of the same people as The Last Wish, which was a revelation in how good it was against its expectations. I would have seen it last weekend, but Paranorman got a cinema re-release, so I had to.

If they wanted to finally admit that the Red Tories are a lost cause and move their support to a party that would actually listen to them, the Lib Dems and Greens both officially reject transphobia in their party platforms.

He's correct, of course. We're coming for your planes. We're gonna make them super gay. The chemtrails are wolf pheromones. All straight white men will be forced to have sixteen simultaneous genders, one of which will be "librarian." You cannot stop us now. We have the drinks carts.

Britain has reached the "sailing out into the channel and trying to drown people" level of racism. And the feckless, useless, faux-centrist shitweasels in charge will do nothing. And the complicit police will do nothing. And the media will lie about it. Fuck that fucking country. Glad I left.

It's just cowardice. They can't deal with a world that isn't exactly like them because they've cultivated nothing of worth to offer it, so they fall back on the circumstances of their birth as having the most importance. Being white and male takes no effort to have or to defend, so they value it.

The group shot even comes on a production watercolour background. I'm rather chuffed. Splendidly pleased. Not at all vibrating with a mixture of giddiness and terror at being responsible for them.

I recently had the probably-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be very naughty and spend quite a bit of cash on objects of no material value. Which I did. But now I own several frames of a film so precious to me that all of my cats have been named for it: Watership Down.

I'm sorry but if you've been coding professionally for more than a few years and your exception "handling" is still just to catch, log and ignore.....sort your shit out.

We standardised so much about PC motherboards over the past thirty years - I'm gonna need you arseholes to decide which button opens the BIOS settings screen, and which opens the boot menu, and just fucking agree on it. Or maybe show the prompts for more than 0.5 femtoseconds on an SSD-based system.

No paper in it, and the door doesn't open, so probably not. ;-) Got to take it apart and do a few minor things, but printers were sent by Satan to make us all miserable so I assumed from the start it's bollocksed.

PAINFUL levels of cringe today. The Sloperator returns, confidently asserts that he's got all the answers, gets (professionally) told he's talking shit, then comes back an hour later to say NOW he has the magic bullet. Lasted one question. People really need to learn to say "I don't know."

They keep the conflict going at some level until a Democrat takes over, at which point they're forced to withdraw and accede to Iranian demands/pay reparations - which the fascist press can then lambast them for to help ensure voters continue to elect monsters.

Harper is a disgusting anti-democrat. He's chums with Orban and make no mistake, he's still chums with a lot of Trump's lot. He supports Pollievre and his lookalike fascism. Trump's touching the money, that's the only reason this horrible goon is burbling in the right direction.
