He's not just a venture capitalist. Looking at his conencted ventures he also appears to be a hardcore AI shill... this does not bode well.

Photograph of the exterior box for the new MacBook Neo laptop from Apple. The box is almost featureless in white with only the words “MacBook Neo” in small text on the long side, and an image of the laptop from above printed on the top

The laptop is protected inside the box by a thin translucent film. There’s a pull tab to remove the film with the word “hello” printed in a playful font

The laptop itself, closed. A dark metallic indigo slate with gently rounded corners

The laptop opened and powered on, sat on a welcome screen

Nobody does an unboxing experience quite like Apple.

I’m very happy with the performance too… it absolutely spanks my 2017 MacBook Air

I don’t get it… who are they even trying to convince with this horseshit?

Meh... I've been put on statins and they're wiping me out this week. I managed a solid 7 hours sleep last night but feel like I didn't get any at all.

Hopefully this sorts itself out quickly.

Looking at reviews for Apple's new "MacBook Neo" laptop and so many of the "influencer" tech-cultist types are saying this is Apple's first ever low cost budget machine.

They never lived through the original iBook and Mac Mini days I guess.

The Peter file is a PDF file... Obviously nobody should read anything into that.

Probably differs from show to show… the floor manager asked everyone get our selfies out of the way and to silence our phones before the cast came out. QI has been very chilled both times I’ve been to watch :)

A view from the back rows of the TV studio where QI is filmed. The audience is fully seated but no contestants have sat down yet.

A wide view of the QI tv set at the ITV riverside studios. The audience are all seated and waiting for the penel and the host to arrive.

three friends sat at a table in a bar with glasses of drinks. Condesation drips down the outisde of the glasses showing their contents are cold. One is a whiskey and coke, the other a Camden Hells lager.

On this day 6th March 2018... I took a couple of friends to see the filming of Q.I. This was the Series P episode "Pictures" with Joe Lycett, Alan Davies, Hannah Gadsby and Noel Fielding.

It was exactly as chaotic as you would image... it was also Alan's birthday... we sang and there was cake 😄

How hard can it possibly be to find a daily pill organiser box that doesn't have the first day of the week down as a fucking Sunday?

Doubtful that the media is going to learn anything from the experience though 🙁.

Starmer’s messaging on the war in the Middle East has been very strange…

He claimed Iran’s retaliatory strikes were indiscriminate yet all the strikes so far are limited to US military bases and bases of US/NATO allies which have been used by the US.

Why is Starmer laying out a false pretext?

Me neither... not the best start to the week. After reseating a few cables it seems to be happy again for now.

A screenshot of the unifi network controller dashboard showing a graphic overview of the switch ports. 16 of them out of a total of 52 are an angry red solour with warning icons overlaid, indicating port faults.

This might be the angriest I've ever seen my Unifi dashboard...

One of my switches has decided that monday morning is the perfect time to decide that a port channel which has been humming along happily for many years, is configured badly.

ffs

There’s a strange moment of smug satisfaction when a post dinner fart is so obnoxious that the air purifier on the far side of the room turns itself on… or is that just me?

Hard to say if it has unblocked anyone else as my blocklist is enormous. I haven't noticed any other toxic accounts sneaking in to my feed yet but now I'm a bit wary.

Ugh... the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group the "LGB Alliance" which I blocked the instant they first popped up on my tiktok feed last year has somehow become unblocked.

It's probably about time to permantly delete my TikTok account.

When did Pink News get this trashy? All this low grade engagement bait is getting really tedious.

Such a shame he's decided to end his career this way... I really did enjoy his content.

I'm genuinely shocked that he isn't media literate enough to see what ESC/BBC are up to and how badly this is going to tank his career. It's a spectacular home goal.

Eurovision 2026: Electronic artist and YouTuber Look Mum No Computer to represent UK in Vienna The synth artist and Eurovision fan says he finds it

Ugh... A youtuber I really like has been announced as the UK entry for this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

I had a lot of time for Look Mum No Computer... not anymore.

Imagine calling yourself Hermes, messenger of the gods, then failing to deliver anything at all.

At this point I feel like EVRi’s corporate motto should be “Every package stolen or lost”. I ‘m seriously considering ditching eBay completely if they stay the default shipping option.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule Protest group’s co-founder wins legal challenge against decision to proscribe it under anti-terrorism laws

High Court: proscription of #PalestineAction was unlawful.

Greens voted against proscription, so we welcome this.

Govt must now immediately end its authoritarian attacks on peaceful protest, and fully address its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Ooops I hadn’t thought this through… an early morning appointment at 56 Dean Street might be a lot quicker and quieter than an afternoon one but it does mean that there’s nowhere to have a cold pint afterwards 🙁

My only experience of reality TV “housewives” is from the contestants on The Traitors (US) and charter guests on Below Decks… would I be right in thinking the only qualifications you need in order to be one of these housewives is to be a rampaging cunt with Hitlerian politics?

🚨 Catherine O’Hara has died.

Very sad! She was an absolute QUEEN!

Schitts Creek is one of my fave sitcoms of all time and Moira Rose one of the best characters, no one could play her like Catherine!

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER?

A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Peter H. Duesberg, 89, Renowned Biologist Turned H.I.V. Denialist, Dies

Oh good... Peter Duesberg is dead. That's a nice bit of news to lift the mood on an otherwise quite dreary day.

Eeep... I had forgotten bytes even existed. I think I only went there once as it was barely ever open.
