Though the average low-information voter will still see brown faces on the street, hear people speaking in unfamiliar languages, see shops with foreign names selling weird spices and conclude that Britain is critically imperilled by a tidal wave of foreigners, and only Farage and/or Tommy Robinson can save it.

Ritalin is a thing that exists

For every balloon with a drone, send 100 with a washing machine. The orcs like those.

The Cybertruck was a self-portrait

Cats: Now available in Man-Size.

Presumably it’s better than being ruled from Moscow

Does this include widening all those narrow European roads to accommodate the new wave of American mega-SUVs?

I thought it was a medieval antisemitic mockery of Kabbala, much in the way that “hocus pocus” is a Protestant mockery of “hoc est corpus” from the Latin Mass.

Labour’s current unpopularity is largely down to Starmer’s combination of rightward-pivoting Blairism and negative charisma. If Burnham with his popular “Manchesterist” programme takes over, that should reverse some of the expected Faragist gains and possibly buy Labour a term, in which they better get cracking and push through a fairer voting system (especially if Burnham wins Makerfield due to the Greens holding back, with the expectation that electoral reform would be prioritised).

I thought J-pop’s global rise was in the 90s-00s, and everyone moved on to K-pop a decade ago.

Time to stop calling hyperscale GPU farms “data centres” then. There’s a difference between housing a few exabytes of spinning disks with enough compute to run S3 APIs and PHP servers and enough GPU power to continuously statistically correlate all the world’s data to better generate slop from.

I wonder why there’s a product for dogs but not one for cats. Are there shortcuts one can take to make cultured food for omnivores that make it unsuitable for obligate carnivores?

That would explain the name.

The horror of the Other was a continuum that started with non-WASP cultures and ended at Azathoth gibbering in the cosmic void

Finally we have a scientific measure of the cultural difference between the UK and Australia: it’s the difference between the Badger Badger Badger flash animation and Succulent Chinese Meal.

It isn’t. I’m guessing they’re stripping the Hello Kitty livery and reusing the train elsewhere, unless it was already old when it became the Hello Kitty Shinkansen and now has to be either extensively refurbished or scrapped.

F

That would only apply if they were private members’ clubs. As they’re open to the public, the law theoretically applies.

They’re not quite as cooked as The Canary/Squawkbox, but they’re something to read with a sceptical eye.

Obviously you can have “pixel art” without computers, as knitting, embroidery and tile mosaics have shown, but precolumbian Peru actually had the aesthetic, a millennium before the first CRT.
