Mr President a second broomstick has hit the slave kitchen

The Bush being told about the second plane meme, but they're both wearing wizard hats.

Seeing a full screen InstallShield wizard on macOS Tahoe is a touch disorientating, not to mention the Luna Silver buttons

A grey background with an InstallShield installer window for Broken Sword 4. The buttons at the bottom of the window are overlaid on a panel in the style of Windows XP's silver colour scheme.

Not just fish!

A Google Search with the question 'how many days of the week have a snake in them' The AI Overview says 'Two days of the week contain the letters to spell "snake": Tuesday and Wednesday.

Here is how the letters break down:

- T-u-e-s-n-a-k-e
- W-e-d-n-e-s-d-a-y'

Sure is interesting that the article declines to mention that her appointment was opposed by the Women and Equalities Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights, who both wrote to Bridget Phillipson to object to her appointment. No, the opposition is only from "trans campaigners", apparently.

A screenshot from a BBC News article: "Dr Stephenson was appointed to the role in July and she started earlier this month.

It was greeted with hostility by some trans campaigners, in part because she had donated money to the case of lawyer Allison Bailey, who won part of a tribunal claim that she was discriminated against because of her gender-critical views."

Looking at the apparent ledge you can see below the window in the video, I'm pretty sure it's from the Occidental. If you shot a video from the building's top floor and zoomed in, it looks like you'd get the same angle they have. It also makes sense with the noises in the background.

No, macOS, I *don't* want to replace 'people' with 'peope'.

In case anyone remains in any doubt about whether the BBC were being sincere in chucking out Gary Lineker over 'impartiality', here's your confirmation that it was actually just about him opposing genocide. An actual newsreader actually broke impartiality on an actual BBC programme and they love it.

A headline from The Times: "BBC bosses back Martine Croxall over 'pregnant people' correction". The subheading beneath reads "Managers are 'intensely relaxed' about the newsreader changing the scripted words to 'pregnant women'".

I built less! By hand! It took me hours! (configure scripts don't work. there's no working make and no form of native compiler so you have to force it all to work with MSVC. you can't run -? for help because the linker can't find the help function)

A Lumon terminal from Severance, with Helly quoted as saying 'They were scary. The numbers were scary.' However, instead of the standard numbers, the scary numbers are figures from the downturn in the stock market today, and the open file that Helly is completing is called Tariffs.

The world reading Jim Cramer's latest opinion

The common meme with soldiers reading headlines saying 'Hitler Dead', except in this version the headlines say 'Hitler Alive' and they're all frowning. Because that's obviously a very bad thing.

A quote from yours truly, telling you to "go to your bank at 9am tomorrow and withdraw all your money", attributed to my Bluesky handle. A picture of Warren Buffett looks on ominously in front of a red to black gradient. I do, however, have to stress for legal reasons that the picture is entirely unrelated to the contents of the quote.

bro just one more wave of welfare cuts bro, bro I swear just one more wave of welfare cuts and it'll fix the UK's finances bro These ghouls infesting the labour movement are loathsome in every possible respect.

A screenshot from an article in The Times regarding Keir Starmer's intent to declare an end to globalisation.

"Other developments:

• Jaguar Land Rover is halting shipments of its British-made cars to America for a month from tomorrow while it works out how to mitigate the cost of the 25 per cent import tariff imposed on the industry.
• Ministers could be forced to introduce a second wave of welfare cuts amid fears that the UK’s finances will deteriorate further. The Cabinet Office is also promising a new bonfire of the quangos to make efficiency savings."

I believe they call this the Robin Reliant vehicle model

I really think this graph tells you everything you need to know about how comprehensively terrible Labour have been in every regard since 2020. The system has gotten stricter and stricter but Labour fully buying and now advocating the scrounger narrative means people think it's more lax than ever

A graph of public opinion polling on the UK benefits system showing data since late 2019, with the general trend since 2020 being that the number of people believing the system is "not strict enough" increases over time and the number thinking the system is "too strict" decreases over time.

The 'this is fine' meme except the Democrats are sitting in a burning building now, and instead of saying 'this is fine', they're saying nothing. Because the Democrats are saying nothing about Trump and Musk's self-coup.

Xoraurea, Weaver of Unholy Scripture@xoraurea· Jan 31

You, now

The "this is fine" meme, but it's Chuck Schumer sitting in a burning building, saying "trump should end the faa hiring freeze" instead of "this is fine".

This popup makes me unfathomably angry. It is not 'my choice' if that choice is conditional on payment, you data rent seekers

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa you can do both Not that Labour will actually try particularly hard to win any political argument with Reform, anyhow. They haven't done it before so why start now

One source rejected the idea that ministers were poised to “rush through” rule changes in response to Musk’s interest.

“We’ll beat Reform by defeating their arguments rather than changing the rules to stop them getting money from Elon Musk,” said a source. “You don’t successfully take on populists by changing the rules in bid to thwart them.”
