Me, seemingly invisible, screaming:
“You have been tricked! Bicycles do not cost £2500! It IS NOT SO!”

Got pretty viscerally scared for Glasgow Central last night.

They seem like the types who won’t allow their baristas into the working class anyway so who needs em

Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness. I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.

Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes

Obvious joint winner is the Cow ‘n’ Chicken intro

Repost with the greatest cartoon theme song of all time

I think the secondary crime is the boarded up shop that some local startup would love to take over but now can’t afford to. Dundee had a ghost mall that ran competitions giving away units to local businesses

That’s an unfollow, dog.

my wife says that if someone walked up to you and went, “hey we’ll pay you a salary but at some point we will tell you to murder people, and it might just be one person but it’ll probably be more,” that would be more obviously vile to the people who make the But Poverty argument for the US military

I think if you’re from a certain demographic in a certain area of the world this is absolutely normal.

Fuck your troops x

She’s falling in love and rationalising it for you as a little treat at the end of each one

Ursula Le Guin’s afterwords throughout the Earthsea cycle are almost as enjoyable as the books

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

Oh oh oh it’s very good eh! I have taken a 2 year break for my nerves and am ready to play village

I’d go so far as to say that some vaguely progressive types are willing to engage in some light post-pandemic conspiracist chat *just so* there’s a smaller cognitive disconnect with some of the heinous beliefs around them.

this is true but I also think a lot of people normalised memory-holing COVID because the things their friends and neighbours wound up saying and believing was irreconcilably horrifying. Regardless of whose interest those views served.

Oh no, bone temple bad :(

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Duct tape over your glowy bits, man

Snuck back to Dundee to get my guitar and pedals and stuff today, no melancholy found! I met only people I’m very fond of and saw things that made me nostalgic.

There’s a few but Babylon was right up there

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

It is now and always has been a waste of time. Wee gazza doesn’t care about Gazans, but he will never self identify that way, we must do it for him. Label and ignore the ensuing dummy spitting.

Do you know what I’ve learned as a vegetarian for 23 years? Some people don’t care about stuff. It doesn’t matter if it’s horrific or even if it affects them, the Do Not Care, and we should learn to identify this trait and body swerve those that display it.

One of my favourite YouTube synth people, this is very cool and I hope he boycotts it x

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
