@Neil.T @RadFemHedonist Hey, if I didn't see the funny side I probably wouldn't have bothered posting about it. I just sat outside on my back step to keep cool and played on my phone until the power came back around 3am (and all the alarms went off again, seriously what is the point of house and...

Horrible sweltering day, start sweating as soon as I get out of the shower Multiple stressful things to sort out today Neighbours playing loud music from sunrise to sunset, can barely hear myself think It’s finally dark, quiet and cool Time to relax and watch something, I’m feeling creative...

On this point, I think Kwame Ture put it better and more succinctly than I could: “Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and...

I think the first thing they might want to look at doing is changing that website from having light blue text on a bright white background. That is absolutely retina-ravaging to look at. Any effort at independent distribution has my best wishes, if it's a passion project to keep forgotten...

I’ll say, the media has been strangely quiet on the matter of the UK erroneously dropping tactical nukes… Oh wait, they mean retired them from service. On the subject of “defence” both the government and the media appears to have gone absolutely stark (Starm?) raving MAD (capitalisation...

Good article, thank you AUKN writers for presenting this in the thoughtful and decidedly personal way that you have, something almost no other media website bothers to do in the era of click and outrage bait. While I admit to not being familiar with a whole lot of characters or shows listed...

Ah, nothing quite like the shoehorning of contemporary politics into a review of a 40 year old film for clickbait purposes. I, too, am glad we now live in more enlightened times where the "outdated sexual politics" of things like Vampire Hunter D have given way to respectful post "MeToo" content...

I started wondering about this, so I decided to ask ChatGPT how to achieve my policy goals and how to manipulate the electorate into voting for them. My assessment is that the singularity cannot come fast enough. AI art? AI politics is clearly already miles ahead of human politicians. Get them...

It's a small thing, but it would be really nice if there was a way to filter out every YouTube video with the title "[x] is/was better/worse than you think" Also a function to automatically report for terrorism any titles which end that or any other phrase with "here's why".

And as if by magic... Keep instalment V alive for over a decade and then release a sneaky remastered IV to tide people over on the long wait for VI? Have Rockstar been copying Bethesda's homework? I hope they keep the original driving mechanics intact, GTA IV handling is an accurate simulation...

I liked the character writing in V but I did find the plot quite lacking and meandering, I don't think it helped that throughout most of the mid-section of the game () it felt like you were doing things for absolutely no payoff. How many times did GTA V tease you with a big reward and then yank...

Looking good so far, in terms of tone it looks like they’re going for a bit of a halfway house between the grittiness of IV and the absurdity of V. It remains to be seen how Rockstar will adapt GTA’s signature satire in an age where the ott ridiculousness of previous games has become reality...

Who knew he cared so much about protecting the jobs of the woke liberal Hollywood DEI propaganda pushing elites? Farmers, steelworkers, you have to wait your turn. My priority is to protect America’s precious and fragile movie industry. Nobody is watching American movies any more, they’re being...

At the risk of sounding even slightly hopeful about UK politics at all (moi?) the other big winners of the night besides Reform were the Lib Dems, who also have the highest number of MPs they've had for a hundred years. Perhaps a realignment of UK politics along Brexit lines was always a slow...

Certainly true, while it's something of a simplification I think when you're dealing with party politics and voting blocks such generalisations are somewhat unavoidable. Reform are unlikely to do anything to actually benefit the poor but these results show the poorest people are voting for them...

Not a problem. Water under the bridge, please do not be concerned about it. A post is a post, for all it's worth, while I may disagree with others and they with me regarding certain things we post, people are different and I hold no grudges. The mods appear to have made their decision, which is...

So your post was entirely serious and literal, got it. In which case I'll just point out that I and many others on this forum have indeed shared our addresses with one another in order to buy/sell/trade/gift things over in the marketplace section of the forum. The mods do not appear to have any...

The dividing line between the affluent areas that have gone to the Lib Dems and the deprived ones that have gone to Reform is pretty stark. Labour managed to pull these voters together in 2024, regardless of class or socioeconomic status, because they all wanted change from the Tories. Now...

Have you watched Patlabor yet? That really does strike me as being very much your bag, and it certainly has all the character development and mecha realism you’ve found lacking in GL.

Kneecap do not make my kind of music, but they do make my kind of statements (except for the apologising part) so in their honour I thought I'd share a few appropriate songs, presumably these artists can also expect to be subjects of a police investigation in the near future.
