Jacob Rees-Mogg’s attacks on working from home were ‘bizarre’, says Labour
  • The business secretary has defended Labour’s plans to introduce new flexible working laws, calling it “bizarre” that Jacob Rees-Mogg had launched a “war on people working from home”.

    Simple, Mogg had his tongue in the rectum of big business.

    Who is your favorite artist and what song/album would you recommend?
  • Yea Jello Biafra is a highly underrated musician. He's done a lot of other varied collabs over the years.

    This one from the album he made with Mojo Nixon is also amazing. Maybe use headphones if you're out in public, especially in the USA https://youtu.be/7T7EUSQGxXY

  • Lard - The Power of Lard

    Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys and the members of Ministry, two of my favourite bands, collaborated and made some truly amazing heavy music.

    Dan Britt - I'm Dead Inside

    Recently came across this tune and can't get enough of it.

    TV on the radio - Ambulance

    Ditto this one.

    Portishead - Wandering Star

    Finally, you can't go wrong with this classic from my youth.

  • I just re-watched TNG "In Theory" (S04E25) and Data says that the door to his quarters is set to only allow humanoids to enter or leave when Geordie finds Spot in the hall.

    Whilst I get that it would be dangerous for Spot to wander the ship freely I think it's kind of mean to keep him locked in a small room like that forever. There doesn't seem to be any cat toys in the room but maybe the computer is capable of some sort of environmental enrichment we can't immediately see.

    Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

    I'm fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

    Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

    Wouldn't be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

    Tobacco companies had to own up to the fact that smoking is harmful in the 1960s when undeniable evidence came out. People struggled to quit because it is somewhat addictive, but mainly because they enjoyed it.

    Those companies then encouraged the rhetoric about it being more addictive than heroin. It isn't. In my experience it's less addictive than caffeine.

    Here's my history with nicotine:

    • Smoked cigarettes from 15 - 26.
    • Quit totally for 14 months
    • My friend who smoked moved back to town and I smoked when I was with them.
    • Switched to vaping 8 years ago.
    • Quit vaping in January this year (2024).

    I bought 30 cigars at the start of last month (April 2024) and have smoked 9 of them so far. I normally just have 1 a week if I'm having a beer at home but I went out drinking 2 nights in a row at the start of this month and smoked 6 over that weekend.

    Am I addicted? Maybe, but I haven't had any nicotine this week and don't plan on having any next week either.
