No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Tankies gonna tank (the polling of the party)

James Ball@jamesrball.com

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

Unserious people, a lack of leadership, incredibly damaging and harmful posture politics.

I don't think people supporting the Zionism Is Racism motion have any idea what they're doing politically or what the consequences will be

This show was beautiful. Devastating, but cathartic. I struggle to find the words

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

Our previous home owners had created a "low maintenance" outer environment. Artificial grass and gravel out back. Gravel out front. Over the last two years I replaced the gravel out back with a wildflower patch, and swapped the artificial stuff for a micro-clover lawn.

And this summer, I started out front. Dug out all the gravel in the sweltering heat, ripped up the "weed barrier", topsoiled it and finally sowed clover seed last week. Good time of year for it, as the grass is bursting through. The patches will fill once the clover develops out.

We don't need to play by Elon Musk's rules. In the Commons yesterday, I commended Lisa Nandy on her decision to leave X and take DCMS off the platform. I left more than a year ago, for reasons that will be familiar to people on BlueSky. I would like to see the whole government follow her lead.

Absolutely 0 angry comments or emails on my recent blog post "I'm Sick of Talking About AI" which I assume means that everyone agrees and not that a) I don't have a comment system and b) I have zero readers

But wasn't the £5m meant to be for security?!

Nigel Farage suggests the police advised him against attending the result of the Clacton by-election. Essex Police completely deny this, telling the BBC "we have a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants in the count"

This is the presenter of the upcoming Channel 4 "documentary" (which fails to mention this Dr, not a neurodiversity specialist, is also a Mail/Spectator writer) It is supposedly "science-led", claiming that screen time and ultra-processed food are what causes a condition first described in 1798

This is much talked about on the local nurdle clean up WhatsApp groups, and visible amongst my friends, but it’s really important that it’s talked about in incidents like these.

Ran 50 miles this month, which is the furthest I've done in a single month since September 2014. Three and a half stone heavier and two minutes a mile slower than back then, alas, all that matters is the miles covered.

Sincerely hope that Jeff Bezos sends everyone who erroneously received an AWS bill in the millions, billions or trillions today a free pair of undies

Absolute cheek of this cunt saying he is the most attacked politician when an MP was actually murdered by someone who gave their name in court as "Britain First". Fuck off

The real hallucination risk was in the tech CEOs believing they could pie off their staff and let AI do their jobs. Especially now that they're left with incomprehensible and increasing service charges.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social

Hard not to regard this as a classic example of a pre-emptive campaign by certain sectors, along with their media sympathisers, to discourage a new prime minister from appointing someone who might damage their interests in the long and short term. And it will almost certainly work.

Journos should be commended from breaking away from the fascist hellsite, but this truth also demonstrates the gravity well created by Govt and politicians still posting there

I won’t be leaving X altogether. Alas it still has various accounts that I need to monitor for work. But I’ll be engaging far more on here and instagram.
