ah yes, pancake day, the day I remember that none of the pans are quite the right shape for pancakes

"Skynet! Why did you nuke everyone?!?!"
*Skynet gestures towards the petabytes of trash in the facebook mod queue*
"...okay, yeah, good reason"

Facebook wants to do most of their moderation with an AI

Do you want Skynet?

This is how you get Skynet

By exposing an AI to the worst of facebook's mod queue so it naturally comes to the conclusion that humanity should be nuked

It's not that someone admitted to talking to the cops

Sometimes you have to, say, if there's a court order or if you feel the need to tell them to fuck off and die in a fire

It's the "proudly" talking to the cops

That's a bit like a hospital janitor saying that their absolute favourite thing to do in their job is to dispose of all the gangrenous limbs that have been amputated

It's weird and frankly a little bit suspect

Considering the new linens spam I think they may have misunderstood when I called this the comfiest softest of instances

more like FEDiverse am i right?!

Labour MP Siobhain Mcdonagh: “to be anti-capitalism is to be anti-semitic”

https://nyebevannews.co.uk/labour-mp-siobhain-mcdonagh-to-be-anti-capitalism-is-to-be-anti-semitic/

Yes, obviously, because according to her the jews control the... hang on a sec, who was antisemitic again?

Has anyone made a comparison site for energy provider comparison sites yet?

Fuck me there are a lot of them

all these people following me after seeing the trebuchet toots are going to be sorely fucking disappointed

Where's the cucumber?

THERE'S THE CUCUMBER!

I kinda love the new phone Energizer showed at MWC

big chonky boi

do I make my wine choices based entirely on how much I like the label?

yes

yes I do

Reminder: any drug that gets a lot of hype for "killing cancer in a petri dish" is probably not as useful as you think

It's really easy to kill cancer cells

Napalm kills cancer cells

The far more pertinent question is "does it kill cancer cells while not killing the human the cells are in?"

That's the tricky bit of the whole exercise

TIL that they sell rotary washing lines by length of drying space and not by anything useful like diameter which would help when working out which of the buggering things would fit in the space available

also the reason Sobble is so upset is because the DWP just sanctioned them for no reason at all

So, given the new pokemon games are set in the UK here are things I expect:

Trainer battles starting with "oo are ya!" and/or "WE'RE FUCKING WEST HAM"

Pokemon in the form of tea and pints of bitter

Constant drizzle

Queuing

Just a vague sense of urban decay

Also Team Rocket may or may not be the IRA in this
