don't worry, although Formula 2 is real and can hurt you practice sessions are not

Probably should have thought about that before starting a war that threatens 40% of the world's oil supply.

the West Ham fans in my pub are backing Palace and briefly, for 90 minutes, finding out what it's like to be a fan of a team that plays good football

just had a lot of stuff that's been in storage since 2021 returned to me and after opening one box I am forced to acknowledge I did not have a cape "phase" but rather a sort of whole evolutionary chain

I've got a fairly decent vocabulary but still can't think of a word for how catastrophically it's going at Aston Martin

like, absolutely hate everything about the current circumstances but completely brainless people discovering things happen is ghoulishly reassuring (I would help anyone who reached out)

sorry to be a ghoul but having been in actual warzones I'm ghoulishly enjoying influencers realising they are in one

I don't like to be morbid but is this dust from the scale of bombings?

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the ‘most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

I recognize I am an extremely rare holdout in that I have been so hardline anti-AI that I have still yet to use a chatbot willingly, but uh, I feel like every other story I read is about how all the consumer-facing stuff is a mental illness particle accelerator www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

if I don't do this by a deadline I can be prosecuted, obviously

trickle down economics is bull shit and if you believe it then you are stupid. great replacement is bull shit and if you believe it then you are racist. vaccines are safe and effective and if you believe otherwise you should be shunned from society

and there just no middle ground on any of these things. why do i have to give tax cuts to billionaires just because a large portion of the country is dumb enough to believe its stimulative? we all know its bull shit, im sick of wasting our goddam time arguing about settled truths

I have such an extreme reaction to any of these it's uhm. almost like I'm really autistic or something

you know what making tax shittital can go fuck itself the last five times I've tried to pay my PAYE for my employees (not yet urgent) it's acted like I'm making a huge imposition and could I simply not and also this service isn't available and fuck you

So if you want to tell your friends about House to Astonish, the ninth longest running comics podcast in the world, second longest running in the UK and longest running in Scotland, this would be a really good time to do it!

Here's a thing right, House to Astonish has been running now for seventeen and a bit years, and we changed hosts after the first few years, so I don't know exactly how many downloads we got when we were with podomatic, but we're pretty flippin close to a big round number of downloads

The 15-minute call where hundreds of 'devastated' Brewdog staff were made redundant The independent brewer and pub chain has been bought by US beverage and cannabis firm Tilray in a £33m deal.

Yup. Meanwhile staff from the closed bars will be paid their redundancy from the public purse www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And, of course, the two founders reportedly received in the region of £50m each in 2017 with the TSG deal. As I understand it, anyway.

When I posted this news yesterday, I left out another important piece of context. BrewDog’s “Equity for Punks” crowd-source campaign raised £75 million pounds (or $100m in today’s dollars) alone. That is 2.5 times the amount Tilray paid *for the entire company.*

Just to give you a sense of things.

Actual snort

all the marshrutka drivers had to get new jobs tbf, so

it's ok they're statistically already drunk if they've turned up to work and/or not been arrested at a protest

fair play to Wolves here tbh

A chalk drawing on a green subway pillar of a stick figure head wearing a wizard hat. Below the head, the words "Gnome Lord"

Omens of the underground, he approaches

I love my godawful geriatric cat but if he does not let me sleep for a second night in a row I might go downstairs to sleep in the pub

The trans women in women's sports thing annoys the fuck out of me because trans women were first allowed to compete as women in the Olympics in 2004. This was the policy for at least 6 summer Olympics, at which not a single trans woman ever won a medal.

trying to avoid any kind of despairposting but it is really fucking shit that at the already horrible moment when true heroics could have stopped climate change the nonces in charge of the world chose wholesale destruction

HEARTBREAKING: the war that the United States just started in the Middle East also affected white people.

really feel for whoever's dealing with what's happened to AO3, the OTW doesn't take it down for long periods ever so it must be a really major problem. all the volunteering hours that go into running it go way too underappreciated but especially in a crisis, hope whoever it is knows they're valued
