“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Don’t think much of the Amazon Black Friday sales. I ordered The Two Ronnies on DVD but instead I got four Kindles

And making sure we have functioning public service rather than returning to austerity is absolutely the pro-growth choice. Rescuing the NHS means workers who can turn up to work. Resurrecting neighbourhood police stops retailers having to pay for their own security guards.

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't. 'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't. 'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

I'm amazed senior leaders would find a use for something whose primary response is mindlessly agreeing with what one suggests.

It's that time of year

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world So there was only one thing that I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Reading about AI being subverted by adversarial poetry and Russian drones' navigation systems jammed by Ukranian folk anthems, which suggests the opening future 'human rebels' scenes of Terminator may now have to be revised.

this week's newsletter is titled "aren't you tired of feeling insane all the time?" and I think it speaks for itself it is also free to read youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/arent-you-...

I guess one difference between me and Elon Musk is that, if I was gaming an AI to say these things about me, and everyone could see that I had done this, I'd have simply no choice but to set myself on fire.

Quite likely the greatest character entrance in cinema history, and Jason Isaacs - a total mensch IRL, BTW - proceeds to steal every subsequent scene he's in, as well. He probably doesn't have more than fifteen minutes' screen time in the whole movie, but still manages to dominate proceedings. Epic.

Anyone in Wokingham, Berkshire: my cat Monty has been missing since November 11th, he is microchipped and registered lost, and was last seen wearing a fluorescent yellow collar. Please share and let me know if you have seen him.

So we coloured in Helene Hanff’s dog - of course it had to be yellow (in honour of the New York taxi cab, Playbill booklets and the starry lights of Broadway, where this book is set). #underfootinshowbusiness #booksky 💛🌟🚖📒

Today marks the two-year anniversary of a great modern sci-fi show: Scavengers Reign. 🥰 A new classic that is only officially available in a few countries.

Turns out the cat is mad keen for French novelists - in graphic novel format. I’m preparing for the forthcoming publication of the #GeorgeSand biography by @fionasampson.bsky.social - dear 💙📚#booksky readers - which book should I read first of this totally mesmerising 19th-century writer?

The sheer joy of discovering a forgotten portrait of an author you're about to republish - by one of your favourite artists no less. There's nothing like it! This is #SusanErtz by #Gluck from 1936. Dot-connections like this are one of the best parts of being a publisher 💙📚#booksky

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Gonna do a AI reshoot of the human centipede cast entirely of Silicon Valley billionaire dorks and put this concept straight to sleep

In Manchester we like "just a hot Trafford Centre"

If eating scotch eggs in an Austin Allegro had a face.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Stephen King’s aud-IT

I mean, it won't. You might as well have put "cokehead announces he and his friends will open a small plates restaurant serving gourmet versions of school cafeteria food"

Whoever would have thought that a party led by a breast hypnotist would be full of mad cranks?

“Whereas other chalk horses stand stiff and still on their hillsides, elegant, sometimes, but without any spark of life, the Uffington White Horse is magical; full of movement, power and beauty.” - Rosemary Sutcliff 💙📚#booksky tinyurl.com/5b82bb4b

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

Reform is racist. Let’s just say it. Loudly and often. They’re racist. Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense. They don’t care. They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out. They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy. They’re racist. They’re failure.

RIP Stephen Luscombe (Blancmange)

As for the flag of St George, that’s solely the preserve of coke-addled pig-ignorant violent racist cunts with all the grace, wit, insight, nuance, empathy, humanity and meat content of a dog turd. Fuck you, cunts.

It's all well and good this national alert but what if the greens take over and they use it to control everyone's tits

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
