Can't help but notice that as soon as energy costs started to come down, Trump decided to start another war

(I also know there are more obvious reasons why Trump has done this)

Wars are very convenient for distracting from crimes and keeping profits up

People occasionally mention green energy as not being able to maintain consistent energy like fossil fuels

Sorry, they can if you actually invest and pick the most suitable ones for where you are

Can solar fix the UK's problems alone? Of course not! Tidal? Probably, we're a fuckin island

"Oh no there's now a trade deficit with Greenland because the country with universal health care wouldn't pay me for the thinly disguised warship I sent and said was a hospital"

Ok there is not a hospital ship going to Greenland. It ain't happening.

But if it did, you can bet toddler in chief would send a bill afterwards.

It's ok to just say the demand is high and they had to make arbitrary decisions πŸ™ƒ

In a job hunt, sometimes it's totally cool to get the generic "candidates whose skills and experience match the requirements for this post more closely than your own" rejection.

And sometimes it sucks because you know you ticked every box and did a bangin application.

Ah, today I found out that Elon Musk appears in the Epstein Files, no just complicit, but BEGGING to go to the island.

I also found out that in France, his twitter offices have been raided and he's been summoned for an interview on 20 April.

The more you know πŸ‘€

In case you missed it, Jeff Bezos funded a documentary, directed by Brett Ratner of all people, about Melania Trump.

They spent $35m on marketing alone, just shy of the film's budget.

The UK premiere sold 1 ticket.

The second screening sold 2 tickets.

Suella Braverman MP has joined the Reform party, despite briefings from the party last summer to the Daily Mail, GB News and others that it would refuse her if she wanted to join.

What an absolute joke to have Suella Braverman claiming that the country is broken when she was literally in government and helped to break it

Reform were never going to reform anything and every second hand Tory they take in should confirm that all the more

I can only assume one of two things are true about current Labour leadership:

1) They actually want the far right to get a bigger foothold in the UK

Or

2) They are profoundly stupid

25.01.2026 12:34 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

Rental Family is a perfect film. It is the only film I have seen that came out in recent years that I would say that about.

Go see it pls, it's magic

β€˜I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace,’ says Trump amid Greenland threats – Europe live US president accuses Norwegian leader of Nobel snub and says he will focus on what β€˜is good and proper for America’ as he ramps up Greenland rhetoric

Why is BBC News determined to not show demonstrable evidence that Trump is a baby with a tantrum?

He has literally attributed the Greenland nonsense (some of it anyway, he does also like money for him and his friends) to NOT GETTING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

As I read about the RAM price conversation, it occurs to me:

I don't think I have seen a single thing about generative AI that is just good.

Like, for every function it serves, good or bad, there are so many cons attached to it.

Surely it's not even worth it.

I'm a real photographer because my shots have been fed into GenAI now.

To create a fake child for a clothing brand shoot.

A key point - there were kids at the shoot we did, but they decided to just generate a child instead?

I keep trying to write something to wrap up this year. I went into 2025 with a lot of plans – I did a few goal-setting sessions and just kept writing the phrase β€˜change your life’. Which, as was kindly pointed out by people wiser than me, was a ridiculous goal.
