Windows 13 rumored to "suck your dick clean off", per sources close to Microsoft.

My neighbour told me Kuwaiti air defence keeps eating his F-15s so I asked how many F-15s he had and he told me he just goes and gets another F-15 so I said it sounds like he's just feeding F-15s to Kuwaiti air defence and then his daughter started crying

Oh no doubt, just a coincidence off kickoffs and a moment's furrowing of brows on this side of the Irish sea. No football on offer in Dublin last I was there but I peeked over the wall at Dalymount Park as I passed by and that's enough to generate a wish to see Bohemians do well

I was confused for a moment and thought Watford had turned up against the other Bristol team - glad to see Bohs also nicked a win

We Lived Happily during the War

And when they bombed other people's houses, we

protested but not enough, we opposed them but not

enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America

was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house-

I took a chair outside and watched the sun.

In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money

in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us)

lived happily during the war.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

of all the radical leftist thought that is important for teachers, especially, to impart to young people, β€œowning things is not a skill” is right near the top next to β€œbuying things is not a skill”

This triggered a memory of me holding a door for a teacher who thanked me; I said "you're welcome" as one does. She rounded on me and accused me of being sarcastic - some people just want an excuse to vent

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger.

ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

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.

I am sorry that my choice of language (calling Jim Ratcliffe a cunt) has offended some people in Monaco (Jim Ratcliffe) but it is important to raise the issue of Jim Ratcliffe being a cunt and maintain an open debate on the challenges of Jim Ratcliffe being a cunt.

There's an argument we are being colonised; not by Afghans on small boats but by vast international wealth looking to seek rent from our public sector, hide loot and promote reactive civics and ethics (at the expense of the rest of us).

Remember Simon Danczuk sexting that teenager? So many Labour men responded at the time with "I don't see what the problem is - she's over 16."

Which is exactly what the problem was. The age of consent is not the sole determinant of wrongdoing where imbalances of power exist.

It should be illegal for Ed Balls to be on TV for several reasons.

I can't abide the dissonance that chalks off a goal to then send a player off for denial of a goal scoring opportunity. Putting the "vindictive" into VAR

A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

When i saw we'd conceded from a corner immediately after a sub I'd assumed it was related - one of my armchair manager heuristics is always wait to sub until after a corner!

Definitely a useful connection - one thing that Sarr missed out on was having more time with Francophone Capoue and Doucoure to help him settle. I suppose Kayembe is our Francophone elder statesman these days, Nampalys Mendy too if he stays

Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition scoreβ€”the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimentalβ€”the ludonarrative themeβ€”is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.
