I agree. They do get more as they progress, but still, having people's lives in your hands...
Forgiving their student debt would be a great way of giving them a 'pay rise' without having to find more money from the 'NHS' pot.

This is what Keir Starmer has done for you so far The Tories presided over 14 years of decline, undermined our public services, and wrecked our economy. Keir Starmer's Labour Government is getting on with the job, fixing the foundations of our countr...

So the tag line, 'what Keir has done for you?', is a bit cringe 😢but have a gander at this. Everything should be taken with a pinch of salt but the list isn't small. whathaskeirdone.co.uk

Advanced AI suffers β€˜complete accuracy collapse’ in face of complex problems, study finds β€˜Pretty devastating’ Apple paper raises doubts about race to reach stage of AI at which it matches human intelligence

I mean I too suffer complete collapse when faced with mild problems, but I'm not claiming to be God's gift to fucking humanity.

β€˜One day I overheard my boss saying: just put it in ChatGPT’: the workers who lost their jobs to AI From a radio host replaced by avatars to a comic artist whose drawings have been copied by Midjourney, how does it feel to be replaced by a bot?

A headline from The Times, with Nick Clegg saying that requiring permission from copyright holders to train AI on their word would 'kill' the AI industry. Boo fecking hoo.

If they're smart (and soulless), they'll pump out the last few films on the books. Go on a hiatus for a couple of years, and then, bang! Re-boot! And we'll see all the same stories but less fun, and with a younger cast. But they won't, gotta keep Disney's market share up.

Ahh, but do I have to watch all the Marvel movies, TV tie-ins, one-off Christmas specials, and sacrifice an original IP on the Marvel Gods altar, to understand the what the fuck is going on in the film?

What's the most brutal insult you've ever heard in your language? I think the most savagely specific one that I've ever encountered was from Finnish... sun gradu oli varmaan 20 sivua. It means "your thesis was probably 20 pages long"

The government is bringing most passenger train operators under public ownership. Nationalisation will start in 2025 and is expected to finish in 2027.
I agree with you on water, it should be publicly owned.

No longer is it enough to shit on things you've seen/heard/paid for, now hate must be pre-loaded. Hate in every direction, dimension and timeline. A scattergun of rage, who cares where it lands? It's the kick-back, the ricochet, the semi you get while doing it.
Welcome to the apex of hate.

Her apprentice notebook in hand is all ears.
She speaks softly so as not to scare. "#Conjures pull and drag at the magic. Witches work with it."Her hands ebb and flow with the spell.
"And what do wizards do?"
"Drink and fart and bore."
