could you imagine how great a Claudia Winkleman commentary version of the series would be, her sitting there with a barrel of wine, laying into what’s going on.

One of the biggest layoffs in Amazon’s historyβ€”14,000 jobs gone.

They’re blaming β€œAI efficiency,” calling it the most transformative tech since the internet.

Translation: the machines are here, and they’re coming for middle-class jobs next. Maybe now people will start paying attention.

I’m really bored of hearing racist white people telling black / brown / anyone not white / etc what racism is, then getting all upset because they don’t like being called racist.

I wish they’d all just fuck off.
