We gotta normalize responding to bullshit with "dude who fucking cares"

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

"It was the best of times, but woke lefties are now claiming it was the worst of times!"

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

And you can also go to the Water and Steam museum about 30 seconds walk waway an dsee some cool giant steam engines.

I think about this post every single time I'm stuck at work when it's rainy or snowing.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

goodnight everyone

Many people in the UK had no idea who Charlie Kirk was before yesterday. Now, the BBC is running a whole programme on him. Strange that they see his murder as more significant than Israel’s assassination of the Prime Minister of Yemen. #bbcbias

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff

Everyone: oh, like what?

Every centrist hagiographer: very important things

Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said?

Every centrist hagiographer, looking at their legal department frantically shaking their heads: no

If the objective was to win support and squash the electoral chances of Reform UK, then the strategy had the opposite effects.

❌ Labour’s vote intentions dropped
❌ Reform UK vote intentions unchanged (or at worse better)

If the objective of being tough on immigration was for Labour to be perceived as more right-wing & nativist, the strategy worked.

❌ Labour was seen as more anti-immigration & more right-wing
❌Immigration became more salient as an issue
❌ But Labour’s perceived competence on immigration fell.

This is supposed to be ironic but I saw it and went “Yeah!”

Staff Mutiny Forces Pub to Turn Away JD Vance The vice president had reportedly attempted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, weeks after the venue hosted Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile in Oxfordshire, UK....

Endlessly vacationing Vance is getting booted out of British pubs.

Even the pints are telling him to fuck off.

I guess when the question "what did you spend $40+bn on?" comes around, no one wants to answer, "this neat tool to let a DM swiftly generate a backstory and portrait for an NPC when their players decide to walk into a different building than the one they expected."

I’ve been married to my husband for 17 years this past August 2nd. Kim Davis has been through 3 marriages.

Get fucked you miserable hobgoblin.

Wikipedia loses Online Safety Act legal challenge

Wikipedia has lost a High Court challenge against the UK Government over verification requirements in the Online Safety Act

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

The quote
"this isn't paranoia - it's smart preparation"
is an extremely ChatGPT turn of phrase.

Lean into it. Start drinking rum drinks. Throw together a tiki bar. Obsessively follow bartenders on social media.

I feel like you need to be slightly wary of this line of thinking.
You'll see conservatives saying similar things about liberals or the left.

I was a bit wary of early SC because of how many unpaid volunteers they had. Especially when they started to do really big events. But I understand they've improved on that score these days.

Celts! Bunch of Johnny come latelies.

Don't see how you can call yourself English unless you can trace your family line back to the neolithic farmers who got replaced by the beaker people.

A proper Englishman says no thanks to their foreign corded ceramic drinking vessels!!

Or presumably bring a wrongful arrest suit.

I can't see what actual crime he can be accused of.

A man shouted Britain First as he shot an MP dead, and Britain First are not proscribed.

LLMs are generally terrible at puzzles. (And especially letter or code puzzles because they don't really read individual letters)

I'd love to know what this puzzle was that ChatGPT could solve it but a group of humans couldn't.
