My wife and I had couples therapy on TV. It nearly wrecked our marriage After Jessica and I received expert counselling from the hit show Couples Therapy, I became public enemy number one. Here’s what didn’t make it to the screen

‘We went on a reality TV show and it was bad, so now we’re trying to fix that by going in a national newspaper’ is an amazing mental process.

Men using ChatGPT on dating apps illustrates the depressing point that for some men, everything between the first hello and having sex with a woman (chatting, getting to know them, going on dates, etc) is just frustrating admin that has to be endured beforehand & they want to automate it.

if you don't believe teachers are filling our children's heads with a bunch of woke garbage then explain why my kid came home from school the other day and told me he's a little god damn teapot

What is the name of your least favorite child?

In what year did you abandon your dreams?

What is the maiden name of your father's mistress?

The soft opening for this was telling teachers to necromance chatbots out of Anne Frank. There’s a historical parallel to this I’ve been chewing on, a bit of gristle stuck in my teeth since I wrote this footnote about a public debate in Weimar Germany on the educative potential of replicas. 🧵

Perhaps one needs one to survive the other?

Open AI commercial about using ChatGPT to plan a road trip

Hannah Read, 37, tried to use an AI chatbot to plan a trip to Norway with her partner and three children. She wanted to drive from her home in Flintshire, north Wales and cross the North Sea by ferry. "I thought it might make for a nice drive," Hannah says. "I asked ChatGPT if there was a ferry from the UK to Norway and it said there was one from Newcastle to Bergen." She later checked a ferry travel website but found no such route exists. A travel blog detailing how Brits can reach Norway says the last time the route operated was in 2008. "I did feel a bit disappointed when I found out the information on ChatGPT was incorrect, as I'd got quite excited and had started planning the trip in my head," Hannah adds. "My advice is don't rely on AI 100%, it's better to still do proper research."

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

No one is doing it like Tim Heidecker. An unparalleled genius.

Image of a social media post by Jax Goss which reads: 'My son has invented a holiday called Wolfenoot. It is when the Spirit of the Wolf brings and hides small gifts around the house for everyone. People who have, have had, or are kind to dogs get better gifts than anyone else. You eat roast meat (because wolves eat meat) and cake decorated like a full moon. A holiday to the spirit of wolves that celebrates people who are kind to dogs? I can 100% get behind this. So we will celebrating Wolfenoot. It's on the 23rd November if anyone else is moved to celebrate it (Wink emoji). (If you do, send me pics, so I can show my kid his idea spread. (Heart emoji)). ETA:Woah, this seems to be resonating and taking off. Please use #wolfenoot if you post pics or anything so he can see how it spreads. (Smile emoji) He's already excited that other people want to do it. (Heart emoji)

And this is how #folklore starts...

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

As ever, cuts through to the truth.

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

Emotional investment is part of the deal. So is having the compassion to communicate if you’re not feeling it. If you can’t do these things, you don’t deserve the rewards. We’re losing our humanity out here.

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...

"By vowing to tackle our “island of strangers” through tougher immigration, Keir Starmer is keeping us all trapped on it – by not offering any solutions to the real reasons that explain our estrangement."
