my big internet pet peeve is how β€œlobotomy” is used as a kinda jokey thing nowadays

it was a horrific procedure done against the will of most victims that effectively removed the part of the brain that desired anything

the closest thing i can think of to removing someone’s soul, and it’s a meme

The reason is that the Greater Manchester police are very friendly with multiple of these far right streamers who brag about providing them with intelligence. It's been a local scandal lately with one of them being outer as a sex offender and the police saying he was always helpful to them.

This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.

that was back in the days where random pay drivers with no business in F1 could buy a seat

in a world with a superlicense points system, i don't see it happening, and they should probably remove the possibility

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

i'm reading The American Football Article, and as much as it's fucking depressing and an insight into what the very specific kind of celebrity does to people, the big thing i'm taking away from this is how cool it must've been to be able to Go Do Music Things before the age of 20.

You know what's amazing when you're feeling super depressed? Band practice. Genuinely feel so much better for just making music with someone else

i am increasingly of the opinion that medical professionals who lie like this should never be allowed to practice again

yes we'd lose a lot of GPs who just make up bullshit about HRT, but then maybe I'd actually be allowed it on the NHS instead of having to buy fucking crypto and smuggle it

We’re sad to announce that 7th March will be Sasha’s last gig as bassist of Yuppie Supper.

Sasha has been the cool, calm, and collected rock of Yuppie Supper since we began, from jamming to procrastinate on our degrees to writing and recording for two EPs whilst being everywhere all the time. (1/3)

the speeds are already very different.

the gap between F1 and F2 is already bigger than between F2 and FRECA. F2 needs to be faster (and less of a car lottery) to be a better training ground for F1.

so what we've learnt in the past 24 hours is that Americans really know fuck all about Tourette's, and have decided to make that everyone else's problem.

Americans will be Americans I guess.

If you have a problem with Newsom doing this, you should have a problem with Mamdani doing this.

I don't give a fuck how cute or charming or adorable he is. This is unconscionable.

because yes islamo-communism is absolutely a neo-nazi dogwhistle in the same way as *insert-other-religion-the-nazis-didn't-like-and-the-name-of-the-USSR's-only-political-party-here* (i'm not getting a ban here as well thank you very much)

seriously, what happened here.

the US subs are to the left of pretty much everyone in Congress, and the UK subs have neo-nazis

It's incredible how it was revealed that the anti-trans push over the past decade was concocted in no small part by a literal PEDOPHILE CONSPIRACY and the reaction of transphobic lawmakers, journalists, academics has been a shrug and a "well, we gotta
carry out the orders from pedophile island"

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as β€œpornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict β€œpornography” and what that actually means

Hello, have an updated list of gigs for the next month or so. We're likely gonna disappear for a bit after this, so if you wanna see us before, say, June, come say hi at these gigs.
