You couldn’t be fucked writing it, why should I be fucked reading it?

One of the issues I haven’t seen discussed is how my brain switches off when I realise an email or comms was written by copilot.
Someone who I know has no personality or language skills was supposed to have written this?
It just makes me glaze over.

Finally getting around to watching Wicked and holy shit does this thing need an edit.
This story has been told a thousand times already, there’s just no need for the FIRST HALF of the story to be 2 hours 40

Getting real sick of everything being called AI.

The latest is from our tech space calling a daily, automated report β€œAI”.

Fucking buzzwords, this is just a script that runs on a timer and sends an email with a handful of data points.

Does this mean my email handling rules are AI?

Pauline Hanson wearing a burqa, but she’s in the Simpsons scene where Bart is walking down the hallway banging a pot for attention. 
The text reads β€œI am so great, I am so great. Everybody loves me, I am so great”. 

What a spud.

On a whim I decided to read The da Vinci Code again.
Turns out someone must have replaced my copy with an early draft or something, because this thing is near unreadable.

I’m rewatching Deadwood and am now realising what a crime it is that Walton Goggins never made it into the cast.

They’re the Vietnamese equivalent of those overstuffed burgers that are 6 inches tall.
Sure it’s good value, but how tf am I supposed to eat it?

I understand it’s always going to be SOMEBODY’S first time on a plane, but anyone who needs instructions on how to put-on and take-off a seatbelt is going to be no good in an emergency.
Surely flight attendants could spend their time doing something else.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying β€œperilous” and β€œpolice feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Saw this stock image on our intranet and for a second thought it was a reenactment of the Nevermind album cover.

Now that Australia has caved to tariff pressure and allowed US beef into the country, we’re allowed to judge anyone who actually BUYS it as unaustralian, right?

Figured I’d re-read The Running Man before the trailer comes out.
I’d forgotten the book was set in 2025.
Prescient!

Instagram is such a shit site for looking at photos of events.
I was looking for pics of today’s Melburn Roobaix and the tag gives me a post from today, then one from two days ago then 104 weeks ago then 52 weeks ago.
Fuck your algorithm

Is John Malkovich in anything where he actually acts well? I swear he hams up everything so much he’s just hard to watch.
I almost stopped watching Billions because he was so bad, now we’re watching Eragon from 2006 and he’s shocking in that too.
Does he have dirt on movie producers or something?
