Happy Pythagorean Triple Date Day

@aptshadow.bsky.social getting the Torment Nexus treatment, I see

Right then. Thursday. Best of fucking luck.

Lovely thread

These are tremendous btw. I made the last one intending to browse only but came away with a lovely little oil painting by artist named Laura Marks. There were half a dozen others I’d love to have snaffled.

I'm happy to pay a licence fee surcharge to keep this case going for as long as is humanly possible

This is a masterpiece of a chart. Well done @theboysmithy.ft.com and @amyborrett.ft.com. Take some time to understand it. Jealous

As far as I know you won't need Starlink to navigate to the North London pub @columnist.bsky.social and I are hosting Emergency Brexit Bluesky Drinks at on Thurs Nov 5 7pm on. DM for the venue if you don't know it. If you see this message you're invited.

New post: "Drowning in slop" Large parts of the state are being increasingly overwhelmed with complaints, appeals, objections.... written by AI. It's gumming up every process. Britain is particularly vulnerable. How bad has it got and what can we do about it? samf.substack.com/p/drowning-i...

Excellent from @rafaelbehr.bsky.social !

Sometimes you need to give people who've done something fucking idiotic an excuse to change their mind. ESPECIALLY if you warned them it was fucking idiotic. And if it was an emotive choice. you have to decide whether you value them walking it back over catharsis. Applies in work, love or Brexit.

Fuar Ob Otter. Another one of the locals that we've done as a print and a card. See ALT for image details or just go with L's title of 'The Farting Otter', which bursts the bubble of artistic pretensions. H&I Web gallery - www.henni.photo/Highlands-an... Photo by @paulhenni.bsky.social

This... the attacks on research funding and foreign students in US universities... all opportunities for us, not being taken.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Lovely interview, great to hear they get on so well in real life www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Though I do miss that narrow window of time where a Scottish £1 note could be mistaken for an English fiver.

In 1985, a crew of five British Royal Marines removed a first-gen Ford Escort's inline-4, bolted it back in, and drove the car for 32 yards in just 42 seconds.

* gets popcorn * Oh this thread gonna be good

Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists. They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch. But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss. Thread:

I could quote pretty much this entire article by @mjrobbins.com on the bizarre psychology of the AI apocalypse freaks, but you should just read it instead. Such a relief to see someone express my feelings so eloquently. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/the-ai-apo...

Scotland, you are truly magnificent!
