I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.

Mentally I'm here:

I'm sure it's just a massive coincidence that they used all the same words, ideas and punctuation.

I read Catcher in the Rye for the first time in my late 20s and could not figure out why everyone loved it so much until I realised this exact thing

GENIE: what is your wish

ME: an ice cream cone from mcdonalds

GENIE: sorry the machine is down

me: I’ll just lie down for 5 minutes
my body: ok we will now enter a mysterious state that is worse than sleep but also not rest

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Well. This is an interesting thing from a council that gave control to Reform UK just under a year ago.

This is really disgraceful. A Labour government should be ashamed of this happening on their watch. They probably won't be though.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

Walking home with my 4yo daughter and her friend.

Friend: “are you her mummy?”
Me: “yes I’m her mummy.”
Friend: (incredulous) “but you’re so OLD!”

I am 39.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

Every post I see about AI makes me think of this video from @eleanormorton.bsky.social "I don't think AI is useful for that company. Well, you'd be right! But we're doing it anyway." www.youtube.com/shorts/hL9pl...

not the most important thing going on rn by a wide margin and not something that is new information to me but nonetheless my mind keeps drifting back to the absolutely confounding idea of going on vacation to dubai

After several months of silence they just emailed me to let me know they will never be paying my invoice.

Claude (which like any AI has a knowledge cutoff date a couple of months ago) finds out about the newest Middle East War during a research (screenshot from Reddit).

I feel you, Claude, I really do.

Looks Unfamiliar: Lydia Mizon – There Was No Dicaprio Rhyme Looks Unfamiliar Lydia Mizon talking to Tim Worthington about Stoppit And Tidyup, Fervour for the Acorn Archimedes, Alphabet Castle, Roseanne And The Magic Mirror, Party Mania and more…!

It only occurred to me recently that outside of the kitchen, and one shelf above the boiler which I’m too short to reach, our home came with zero storage space. Zilch. Nada. Suddenly felt less guilty for how cluttered it always seems

Phone AI ads be like:
