*disappears down EV rabbit hole* Luckily I put a ‘caravan’ socket on the front of my house (but will cause a public trip hazard to charge an plug in) Terraced, no driveway

Not yet. My biggest issue is having to cart around 5 adult sized humans, including a 90 yo. I’ve got the smallest hybrid SUV thingie they sell (Yaris Cross) atm but need to trade to get a full 4WD EV that can handle driving on ice/snow. Whilst broke (🤣😬)

Yes please! That Australian Chair of Tesla should be ashamed of herself signing off on a trillion dollar pay deal. It’s obscene

I’m also working on the ‘Youth Board’ who have a voice, at least two or three are wanting ‘Little Women’ or similar

Because Heathens always burn down Libraries? Apathy & disinterest are just the British politico weapons of choice.

Is that an electric mini moke?

Indeed. The new CEO is fairly ‘woke’ for a white guy. I’ve been making ‘can we have a woman coded play please? Austen? Brontë? Gaskell? Plenty contemporaries of Dickens that were women writers. Most of our casts are teen girls, who end up playing male parts.

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS?

Yep. They are all in thrall to the Tech Bros & Miners. It’s become a monoculture. It’s deadly boring. I’m so glad I’ve gravitated towards the Arts. (Although doing two Dickens plays in 18 months is also boring - it’s always the same story / characters, like an 1830s soap opera)

Exactly! Enough already with your capitalist wheezes! I wanna go to Morocco and herd sheep or something. There’s other ways of living that don’t involve rich (but not very smart) people leveraging tech bollocks.

Shocked! And geez, if only my laser eyes were operational when Tice appeared outside my home in East Lancs. He look at me as if he spotted a ‘Karen’ supporter type and I gave him suck stink eye that he pulled back from engaging me. 🤣

I’m doing the costumes for ‘Oliver Twist’ ATM and boy, the UK feels very Dickensian right now with food banks and so many out of work - and so many no longer able to work like me. But it’s the Labour Govt doing the pick pocketing. (Tabling a law to take portable valuables of Asylum Seekers)

Because we’ve never seen a dot com bubble burst recently. If the big dudes like Thiel are selling their chip stocks, it’s happing! The only ones to profit will be the Disaster Capitalists.

My Nan told me all about living through the last Depression as a child of many between the wars. Then rationing after WW2. I fear we are headed there again. 😔

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS?

Sounding increasingly significant

Lot of anxiety in the market

I remember ‘Black Friday’ was a real crash, not some wheeze invented by Bezos to sell more cheap tat

Sure prometheus gave to humanity, great, now we can burn stuff. He was also then sentenced to have his liver eaten every day for the rest of time by an eagle.

Not sure AI is worth it guys...

Brilliant commentary from Deb Kilroy & Tabitha Lean. Calling out the lack of respect shown to all sorts of women & girls by so many anti-trans extremists, with their sudden interest in women's sport, prison conditions & toilets! They're as see-through as a cyclone-wire nightie.

(Miles per hour)

I looked at one of the new EV offerings the algos are bringing me (leaf something?) and it was 0-60 in 12.5 seconds.

Yep, I remember.

Exactly. Having to wait for your Mum to get off the phone to your Nan before you could use your dial up modem was a rate limiting step for wannabe oligarch Tech Bros.

York is the Uni of choice by posh upper middle class parents, as it’s a campus university with parklands / accommodation but the city of York is fairly safe / tame. I used to take the mick out of all of the ‘Jonty’ and ‘Isabella’ types. (As an uncouth Aussie)

I did Krauss already. 18 months and two trips Oz > US/Canada at my own expense to find his victims & put them in touch with Buzzfeed after ASU rejected my first complaint. Then black listed as a troublemaker in the Oz STEM sector. But I’d do it all again for spooking him to send emails to JE in 2017

What surprises me is that anyone is actually surprised that Elno is an actual Nazi. I mean, he even does the salute in public?

Writing with Olivia Guest, Iris van Rooij (both professors of Computational and Cognitive Science) with a punchy polemic about the smoke, mirrors and profound societal dangers they see in the unregulated rush to adopt AI.

Hey, I love Hull! I gave birth there once! (I lived in a village near Goole) one of my mates runs a lab at the Hull York Medical School at the Uni of Hull.
