At some point chatbot developers realised the outputs were consistently and catastrophically wrong, so they dedicated most of their effort towards aesthetically-plausible and extremely sycophantic conversational effectiveness to paper over the problems to make $$ Consequences be damned......

one of my favorite things to do is move one or two pieces of furniture maybe like 3 feet and then say it “opens up all kinds of possibilities”

We have so much good evidence for cash transfers but so many just refuse to accept that those in poverty can make good decisions.

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one! More ... 👇

The strongest memories I have are of the things I've done solo I've done fancy holidays with partners, but that's a shared experience and it's a different feeling When you do something on your own, the memory is 100% yours to keep and I love that

For years, S*n 'journalists' covered up the sexual abuse by a famous cis man while telling everybody to hate trans women in order to protect women. This isn't even the first time this has happened. How so many cis people don't see what's happening is revealing.

On David Walliams: The Daily Mail reveals that “showbusiness reporters at The Sun were told to drop negative stories about Walliams because both that newspaper and HarperCollins are owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsUK, even sharing offices near London Bridge.” archive.ph/2025.12.20-0...

Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

The first step of course is to watch this wonderful video by @ramsesthepigeon.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxfx... >

My response to anything over the next two weeks

There's an appealingly simple logic to anti-tech arguments: phone & social media use went up, so did bad things. Ergo, the phones & Instagram did it Correlation is 9/10 of moral-panic law But a growing body of research challenges easy narratives about young people & tech

This is the exact lighting they use for the pic to accompany a profile of a professor who got suspended because he kept using slurs in class as a supposed intellectual provocation.

11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.

what sweet relief this is

What a time to be alive (derogatory)

A couple months ago, @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social collaborated with baker and dessert detective Claire Saffitz on recreating a beloved cake, simply by descriptions and photos of that cake. And now Claire has a video on how to make it! Good luck and happy munchin’

Excellent journalism from my colleague Xander Elliards, looking at the Sandie Peggie verdict and which parts of haven't received much media attention. From Peggie harassing Dr Upton, to racist jokes and her evidence being deemed "not credible", there is a LOT. www.thenational.scot/news/2568550...

Anytime I mention this story theres a few dozen people who never heard about it, so for those unaware

So now we have a confession that that the so-called ‘investigation’ into the Tavistock was nothing more than a way to get it shut down. Trans kids have died since then, because they can no longer get the healthcare they need. This is on you @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
