Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Budget 2026: State’s basic income scheme for artists made permanent

Couples therapy hit a snag when I admitted that sometimes I intentionally stand in front of cupboards and drawers she needs to use because I want attention.

Just fyi giving me attention has 17g of protein

Then the rental agent sent us a pissy email about it being unprofessional to go around him to the owner.

Actually, it was the rental agent that did all this. Even after we got rid of the couch he ghosted us for so long that I ended up digging up a direct contact for the actual owner of the property who said he hadn't heard anything about it and, in fairness, gave us our deposit back within the week.

While we're discussing landlords.
One of our's ghosted us about our deposit for months, finally responded that we weren't entitled to all of it because we'd left a couch that he'd need to pay to dispose of.
Couldn't afford to rent a van so we strapped it to the top of one of the lad's hatchbacks.

I've been in the UK for less than 24 hours and the internet has asked me 50 times to confirm my age. How did you all let this happen?

I approve of the skull chandelier. That's what I want done with my remains.

I saw Chapel of Pelvises open for the Stone Roses.

Sometimes, as a Catholic (or former one, at least), you think that even someone from the Warhammer 40k Imperial faith would be like "You guys are a bit weird."

The first flotilla’s Irish participants have just been released from Israeli prison; they’re on their way home now. Meanwhile, we on the second flotilla are nearing Gaza. Keep speaking up for Palestine. We’re sailing not only for aid but for self-determination & we won’t stop until Palestine is free

Look for the Shitposters

Now that FF are out of the race, I must return my ire to my other ancestral enemy: Cork.

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

Realised that I’m now treating funny viral videos in the same way footballers celebrate goals —

1) initial joy,
2 sudden panic it might be AI/offside
3) lengthy investigation as joy saps away
4) conclusion, joy modulated through fatigue if proven legit/onside, but angry and gutted if AI/offside

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

Humphreys campaign rocked by accusations of having an awful first touch and disappearing on defence.

I think you're right.
