- Comment on Brian Potter, British songwriter behind hits for Glen Campbell, Take That and more, dies aged 87 2 days ago:
It’s so fucked that this is legal. “Give us 5 quid or we’ll stalk your internet presence and send it to 139 companies”.
Luckily it thinks I’m in the Netherlands and I have uBlock Origin so I can hit accept without worrying too much.
- Comment on Delivery firm Evri sues BBC for £1.2m over Panorama documentary 4 days ago:
They had to rebrand from Hermes because everyone associated their name with lost and damaged parcels. Now we associate the name Evri with that. The new name works better, as in “we throw Evri parcel”
- Comment on Xbox wanted 77M Game Pass subscribers by 2026 — today it has less than half that 5 days ago:
It’s almost like raising prices while reducing the offerings is a good way to lower the number of paying customers
- Comment on Electric fEels 5 days ago:
So any meme that references any real world object is a science meme? Cars come from science. Or is it just natural things? I shall read the sticky
- Comment on Electric fEels 5 days ago:
I f_eel_ like this is really stretching the concept of a science meme
- Comment on Defence company chiefs pocketed 138 times the average UK worker’s wage in 2024, with their average CEO annual pay increasing by £1.5 million in the last decade 1 week ago:
I still find it mad that we call them “defence companies” and not “arms dealers” or “death mongers”
- Comment on UK state threats bill could pull British journalists into terror prosecutions, experts say 1 week ago:
They have also offered the reassurance that those potentially caught by the new offence would only be prosecuted if the attorney general considered it was in the public interest.
By this they mean, in arms dealer’s interests.

Kinda telling that Valve aren’t on here. They also only sell a license to play a game, not the game.

This rag is doing some heavy lifting for this piece of shit. I hope he sees the error of his ways or ceases to be able to vote or interact with anyone.

- Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’ 1 month ago:
Sure it’s a nice idea but in the current system, these robots don’t make life easier for poor people, they just make rich people richer. The luddites smashed looms not because they hated progress but because they needed employment to buy food to eat. Until we solve that, there will be new luddites with every new technology created to displace workers.
- Comment on Hottest May day on record in UK as temperatures pass 34C 1 month ago:
This is a new record high for May. The current record high across the UK was 40.3 °C (104.5 °F) during the 2022 heatwave, though I wouldn’t be shocked if it gets broken again this year

- Comment on Sony PS5 sales drop 46%, even before recent price increase 2 months ago:
I’m sure that there’s some rule of economics that says once most consumers who would buy something have bought it, sales will drop.
- Comment on [Video] People Against Genocide target DSV in Bristol. DSV are a logistics firm which ship weapons for Elbit Systems. 2 months ago:
It’s called being “held on remand” when they think someone is so dangerous that they have to be in prison until their trial. If that person gets found not guilty they occasionally get a “whoops, sorry” but I wouldn’t bet on it
