A headline reading “Camel pageant thrown into chaos after 20 competitors disqualified for using hump-plumping injectables”

Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

My mum mailed The Sunday Post (and Willie/Broons annuals) to relatives in Norway for decades.

My first memories of reading a paper were looking for the Broons or Oor Wullie in my gran’s copy of the Sunday Post.

There is nothing either group can say to the other to shift them because the disagreement is down to a fundamental difference in world view

But if you aren't in tech and are wondering which to trust, just ask yourself: do you really think the chucklefucks of tech have got coding figured out?

holy shit

It’s hard to wrap your head around that historic building being effectively “gone”. All for a load of vape batteries.

Absolutely breaks your heart

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

a woman in a purple shirt is yawning while sitting at a desk in an office . Alt: a woman in a purple shirt fist pumps while sitting at a desk in an office .

No10 comms office right now

He should have won the “Waggiest Tail” rosette for this…

No/only meme for software engineers forbidden from coding and only reviewing

LLMs turn your job into mostly code review, a task everyone famously loves to do and is good at

If you’re on the Czech team, the only way to respond to this is to bat smack the Aussie catcher on the mask with every followthru swing.

“Sorry - nothin’ personal mate”

Just endlessly entertained by people giving the wildest and most untrustworthy engineer on the team full root read/write privs to production databases

There’s definitely an entire class of article now where I start reading, pause quizzically and then go “Oh, Australia”…

If I were running a dystopian surveillance company centered on "urban blight", I wouldn't have my photo taken in front of Dallas City Hall, which was the headquarters of OCP in the Robocop films. Dead or alive, irony is coming with me.

Good morning! Yes, this is he

Given current commissioning editor obsessions, get yourself ready for Alan Carr’s House Of Games

OMFG. Who said *that*? I could use a laugh…

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

The first legit holy shit celebrity I ever met, and to this day one of the kindest. Classy, hilarious and uniquely talented. I don’t have anything else to say. I just love this man.

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Especially given that the RG have just taken part in a massive population suppression exercise that killed and maimed thousands of people.

Those guys aren’t exactly popular and there are no doubt a lot of lamp posts around. No way they’re giving up without a fight because they’re dead if they lose

Sideways.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

I’m pretty sure this is *exactly* what a GOP senator on CNN was arguing this afternoon on Tapper’s show. He was very explicit about the President having a 60 day window so this sounds like the party line…

Gorton and Denton by-election result:

GRN: 40.7% (+27.5)
REF: 28.7% (+14.7)
LAB: 25.4% (-25.3)
CON: 1.9% (-6.0)
LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1)

Green GAIN from Labour.

Yup. And the constituency is hardly the granola and sandals population that have flirted with Green candidates in the past. This is a pretty huge win for them if they pull it off…

Nothing like a timely fess…

The Black Swan. Absolute carnage that night. Someone had a cricket bat in the bar and it got involved at one point.

On a Saturday, the police used to park two wagons at the end of Chapel St and wait for it to kick off.

The Wheeltapper was our local. Rough as hell and staggering distance…
