Oh, I’d not clocked that, lol

Is this Nathan guy on the left?

I’ve accidentally engineered the most pretentious conundrum possible. I can’t start the new Thomas Pynchon until I finish the volume of Proust I’m in the middle of

Generally β€œidentity politics” is whatever the right want it to be in a given moment, but this is a fairly regular misrepresentation of
β€œYou should support her because she’s a woman” rather than β€œShe should support women because she’s a woman” which is closer to the original meaning

Yeah, who is they? As someone in the UK, I can't tell if this is normal nonsense or extra nonsense

I know pepper balls sound delicious but don’t try to catch them in your mouth

That song about Travis Kelce's dick is actually pretty catchy if you ignore all the stuff about dick

I don't want to sound like I'm doing down any of your others, because there is such an embarrassment of riches, but this is one of the best sets I've ever seen you do. When you said "...and I know they're not saying anything nice about me..." I laughed harder than I have in months, and I needed it

And to ask it with no follow up, like they expect him to just have a Damascene moment of self reflection. At least ask it with an β€œβ€¦even though many people say it would be illegal?”

Grifters are making a lot of money β€œteaching” people about AI though. The only people that made money in the gold rush were the guys with shovel stores

Tech bros are pumping so much money into AI that it’s basically propping up the US economy. No AI company is profitable yet. The bubble will burst as soon as they realise the profits aren’t coming

Yeah, focussed group beliefs will change with the next focus group. You can trust a man who says "these are my beliefs, follow me if you agree"

Has anyone had a response from the police yet as to why they were helping them and not charging them under the Highways Act?

Have you seen the reports that 40% of GDP growth in the US is due to AI bubble investment? What does 40% of growth translate to in the real economy?

It’s true, but I asked my dog why and he said β€œwoof”
I said β€œmate, you’re just regurgitating that Guardian article you read”

If they press ahead with this cumulative impact rule, I fear it will lead to more violent protests. If we’re not allowed a series of peaceful protests then some will seek to make a β€œbigger impact” with the first event

I used to think the movie was just decent, but at some point I realised I kept wanting to watch it. So many great parts, I must have watched it a dozen times now

That depends if you believe in Determinism…

I think it’s better than the first film, but only if you’ve seen the first film. Like how Before Sunset is better than Before Sunrise

I like the juxtaposition with the first film, how Deckard is a human wondering if he’s a machine and K is a machine wondering if he might really be human

I mean, you can put a bunch of internet words on top but isn't this just the nature of all protests throughout history?
