Why are these companies not getting sued out of existence?

Here’s another classic Pulp chorus

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

What the fuck are we doing?

Looks like I’m off to Fopp tomorrow then.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social felt like The Radical Left needed a bit of branding work doing.

quotes from cybertruck owners

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

Experts are exactly who to trust when you don’t have a clue. Gove and Johnson did similar damage here. There needs to be a program of public service education targeting the public to debunk these snake oil salesmen and put trust in experts where it belongs. We’re fucked if we don’t fix it.

Sticking with the Hi-Tec Silver Shadows?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social are there some libel cases in this speech?

It’s like Ralph Wiggum became president.

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success". When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be. ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich. "Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Even if Trump does intend to leave peacefully at the end of his term, I can’t see America still existing by then, it’s in absolute free fall!

I’d likely drop that without thinking, given I’ve just put loads into storage though I should probably just stop 😂 those giant ones are rad though.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Kemi Badenoch’s speech in a nutshell:

@mrjamesob.bsky.social didn’t sure also criticise Labour for undoing what the Tories did and then spent every sentence afterwards saying they’re going to undo what Labour have done.

I don’t understand who would vote for them if they want to do all this. It just reeks of harm.

Not a single brian cell between them.

Well that’s my evening sorted thanks very much. 👍🏻🕹️

All I see whenever anyone’s mentions it.

Have such great memories walking down the road to the newsagent to pick up the latest Mean Machines each month. Still have so many games magazines (GamesMaster #1) but genuinely regret not still having my issues of MM.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Can’t wait until he’s finally removed and all of that gold is revealed to be spray painted plaster of Paris.
