Stewart Lee: Using Grok is like believing what your farting uncle says at Christmas Elon Musk’s AI service is so drunkenly, transparently biased that it would be funny – if it weren’t a mortal threat to democracy

"Grok is like a man who has been in a pub all day, drunkenly stumbling from one unsubstantiated opinion hub to another, and is then invited to present the information he has gleaned to the world on News at Ten. A bit like Reginald Bosanquet did in the 70s. " www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Excited to find I recognised one of the contestants on Strictly, but it turns out not to be the one from Amazing Spaces.

If they don't keep the numbers down they might eat all the potatoes.

Isn't Milton Keynes a new town already?

Pecksniff: Whatever happened to that new party? In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Thank heavens we don't have guns. The left in the UK seem to be imitating the right in the US. Pecksniff: eastangliabylines.co.uk/pecksniff/pe...

Our first past the post election system has resulted in two coalition parties with a range of political directions. The current government is trying to please everyone and consequently being very ineffective.

Pecksniff: Clive Lewis: ‘Give people control over their lives’ In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Richness of life can’t be measured in GDP – what happened to joy? GDP is up, but who’s better off? Clive Lewis, Norwich South MP, argues poverty is growing, wages lag, rents soar. And that’s not prosperity

What is quality of life? It can't be measured and is not a number. Clive Lewis: eastangliabylines.co.uk/democracy/ri...

Paul Merton on Room 101 says the rule "red and green should never be seen" relates to clothing. I thought it related to train signals?

You're right: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rur...

I remember her running joke in Allie McBeale about her book titled "The Rural Juror". A tongue twister.

They are a lot bigger. France has a land area of approximately 551,695 square kilometres, while Germany is about 357,592 square kilometres, and England is around 130,279 square kilometres.

Have they electric motors, or are they all smelly?

Another rule I've never heard of. No glass of wine if it is raining.

Some people are very concerned about the Channel 4 programme Could Nigel Farage become Prime Minister?

Looks interesting, but I can't see how one contestant will persuade the others that they should win.

In-bewhelmed – neither overwhelmed, nor underwhelmed, but somewhere in-between. Usage “I was in-bewhelmed by the trip into London today”, as opposed to “The journey into London was neither overwhelming nor underwhelming but somewhere in-between”. I think it is more quickstinct 😉
