Imagine pitching an article to a magazine in 2026. It's about dating and trying to find a partner, your struggles with the opposite sex etc. Editor: "great, women will love to read it!" You: "actually, I'm a man..." Editor: "Ick. Sorry, we don't do manosphere content here."

Are the government going to regulate all the cheap Chinese Android phones sold on Amazon and Ali Express, because no way are those going to implement under-16s device bans for the UK. Also all the millions of older devices still in use that are never going to get updates.

What a catalogue of horror. Baby is born to a sadistic killer, who'd tortured and murdered a pensioner in her own home and dumped her body in a canal. Aged 14. Baby put in foster care only to be adopted, and then abused and murdered by these evil perverts. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgl…

If there were enforcement cameras on mini-roundabouts, they'd make a shit load of money and rack up tons of points. The sheer number of people who either drive right over them or completely the wrong side of them. Then have the gall to beep YOU when they cut you off by doing so.

Surely the game designers only got into designing games because they hate Monopoly and hated, whenever they went round to someone's house, that they would have to play Monopoly. If you like Monopoly, why would you even design another game, because Monopoly is right there.

True. I still remember where I was in 2008 when I heard Beadle had died and I realised, with great sorrow, that he was no longer about.

I've seen a few weird tweets like this over the years, but there hasn't been an expectation for men to give up their seats to able-bodied, non-pregnant women ever since women got the vote and started to go out to work in large numbers.

Even if you accept Frankenstein as a SF story, it's a bit of a stretch to claim "Mary Shelley invented SF" as there are plenty of contenders dating back hundreds or even thousands of years before she was born.

I don't have strong feelings on a social media ban for da yoof, but if it does go through, that seems like a strong tacit concession to the idea that it is unreasonable to expect parents to manage their own children's device use. Another small blow to authoritative parenting.

It’s time we all got accounts on BlueSky and started mass reporting all the paedo accounts, threats and lies - inundate Ofcom with that many complains that the issues are to big to ignore - we need to take screenshots and post them on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X, showing everyone what a vile, far left, bulling and degrading site it is, together with posting evidence of Ofcom complaints - stopping Ofcom from denying any issues have been raised. Then let’s watch Labour defend why they haven’t banned BlueSky and justify why Elon is always blamed for anything that Labour “perceives” as Far Right, but BlueSky is ‘fine and dandy’. My concern is, If we don’t emphasise the vileness of BlueSky to as many people as possible, parents will believe BlueSky is a safe space for their children, replacing their current media platforms with BlueSky - as a result, we risk our future generations being influenced into far left ideologies even more than they are now.

Scanned a QR code at a place recently. No internet. When I finally got working wi-fi, their site was still on the breakfast menu and they hadn't updated it. This was 5pm. Had to go downstairs to get a paper menu from the bar.

The name New York Knicks is funny. I know it refers to Knickerbockers, but to a Brit it's basically the New York Panties.

If privacy doesn't even extend to content stored locally on a device (i.e. not even uploaded, let alone shared) then we need to go back to pen and paper.

Truth. If you don't have a dishwasher, don't get an air fryer. The baskets are always an awkward shape which makes them a pain to clean in the sink. You could be a grotty bastard and not clean it after each use, but it would be minging after 2-3 uses.

7 out of Fleming's 11 Bond novels were published in the 1950s, before the Chatterley trial. We've become so used to explicit sex in books published since that time, it's surprising how chaste the Bond books are. I mean they are raunchy and suggestive but not full of smut.

So we have people in positions of power who think it's OK to jail people for pressing keys on a keyboard, but not OK to jail people for forcing entry into a private business, committing criminal damage, and leaving a policewoman with life-changing injuries. This is where we're at

The people who perpetrated the attacks on Elbit have been treated *extremely* leniently given the circumstances, and I almost wish the UK was the sort of country these people believe it to be so they could be treated appropriately

"Non-violent protestors" who invaded a site, did major damage and left a police officer with life-threatening injuries. These are people who would defend the jailing of Lucy Connolly for years for rattling a few keys on her keyboard. We are not dealing with honest people here.
