Do you post photos/video here? You should "subscribe" to this list that auto-blocks content scraping accounts that steal content and regularly post it without credit. The fewer eyes they have on them, the less power they have (and thus the more original content we'll see). bsky.app/profile/did:...

Why are 'entrepreneurs' so fragile that the merest hint of something not going their way makes them flee the country, as if there were no reasons to stay e.g. access to a huge market, existing investment in infrastructure, the cost of laying off all staff. Unless they are bullshitting, of course.

Sorry to be blunt but: tough, live with it. Quit. Look at the quality of followers, quality of interactions, not the total numbers. And set an example. If Musk is making X odious, you can’t change him. So you have to stop.

Forget the nonsense about reviewing costs on Phase 1 of HS2, today's real news is that this government has announced in no uncertain terms that it will not be progressing with Phase 2 to Crewe, Manchester or Leeds. Craven. Short-sighted. Hugely damaging.

The government has been clear it is not resurrecting Phase 2 of HS2, which was cancelled under the previous administration. The government recognises concerns about connectivity between Birmingham and Manchester, but its primary focus now is the safe delivery of HS2 between Birmingham and London at the lowest reasonable cost, and the Secretary of State has made this objective clear to HS2 Ltd.

That spike in the Threads line is people searching for the nuclear-apocalypse themed British TV movie, on its 40th anniversary rebroadcast.

No, sorry, the average person who works in HR or compliance does not think this, and believing that they do marks you out as someone liable to start barking at cars.

A key part of progressive politics is hostility to the nation state. The bureaucratic class dislikes the
nation state for two strong reasons. Firstly, as it presents an alternative mechanism of power. Through
democratic elections within a nation state, and political power, the bureaucratic class can have its
powers reduced.

Meme. Post screenshot at the top says "Before and after... as a cop this close to ferguson I figured it was best to get my old tattoo covered" above before and after pictures of a forearm tattoo, first showing a confederate flag peeking through ripped skin with an after of a punisher skull with a blue line american flag also peeking through the same pattern. Below all that is a picture from the Office "they're the same picture" meme but just the last frame and she hasn't said anything yet

My co-worker spent hours trying to track down a book that a patron had asked about, going through all our interlibrary loan resources. Nothing. Turns out the patron had asked ChatGPT for book recs and it made up some titles and summaries. The book did not exist.
