Does this to adults too

Fuming

Reminder that Tokyo Godfathers is a great Christmas film

Jamie Oliver wants us to eat more beans, he should try not opening a Italian chain that is at best a money laundering scheme

they keep emphasizing that these are on "known narcotrafficking routes" and like, those are just route-routes. there are not special ocean highways for drugs.

for those that wanted to see the clip of him being genuinely annoyed at the suggestion ai podcasts are good after he spends time glazing ai music lol

The social construction of "the motorist" is something that Karl Marx would have recognised immediately as containing everything that he most actively despised about the petty bourgeoisie...

I think the most illustrative example of why AI is so terrible are those fake animal videos. Sure, let's drain the fucking oceans to create videos of animals being funny, something you can easily experience by being near any given animal for 5 seconds

These two stories are 24 hours apart and not connected in any way: New data centres will consume as much energy as the rest of the country combined 🤝🏼 Household users will pay more to contribute to investments in the electricity grid

I said “let’s clean the air, wear masks and other prevention stuff to protect people from bugs”… Society said. “We prefer dead kids.” Mainly because dark money convinced people that going back to “normal” was important, no matter how bad it was.

In fairness, AI could not manage to make this.

Lucy chose this to watch today. Now, last me tell you there is not one scene not in North Yorkshire town Knaresborough

Keir Starmer is not doing enough to stop teenagers from developing psychic powers.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

Tell you wot lads, I wish I had a bit of formal supervision as a new consultant because there is a lot of non clinical stuff I do not know how to navigate

I know the shameless hypocrisy is the whole point but seeing maybe one of the single most socially conservative MPs currently in the House of Commons welcome a pornstar into his party isn't not making me feel fucking mental

Perfect no notes example of how these guys think everyone else is a 'rabbit' and they're a 'wolf', yet the minute they're left to actually fend for themselves without a digital mommy to hold their hand they become absolutely terrified of the real world and actually operating independently in it.

this is so incredibly dodgy, sure am glad the BBC has promoted it so uncritically! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The transformation of the UK economy into one where scamming each other is completely central to "making it" and openly celebrated, continues apace

They’ve got to make a true-crime style film about the Salt Path scam, but also starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs.

What a weird thing to write

A reminder that when Gary Lineker was under fire a couple of years back for criticising the Conservatives while a BBC presenter, the channel said, by contrast, it was fine for Lord Sugar to repeatedly endorse the Tories because he was "free to say, as a business person, what he wants to say."

That the comparison is with 2020 - the lowest point in 100+ years because of Covid - implies to me that Fox News (Fox News!) has decided to gun for RFK Jr.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Amazing, no notes

'Music for USB ports', quaquaquaqua.

Finding out today that Luigi fixed civ bugs and just what lore, such lore

This is what happens when you don’t have Luigi Mangione working on your civilisation game

If I was the pope I would declare a crusade against America. They've been getting up to some heresies over there and they've been getting away with it for too long.

It’s weird how there’s always moves to make fiction more “interactive” with different endings etc. It’s like these people have never seen the same film twice a few years apart and had a completely different reaction. All fiction is interactive. That there’s an audience is the interactive part.

Whilst a substantial number of Glaswegian school children have parents who weren't born in Scotland, the overall population of school children in Glasgow has shrunk by 10% since 2000. Without the children of migrants it would have shrunk by 25%.

Growth, yes we want growth! We just don't want the essential workers needed to make that happen in case it upsets the bigots.

If the lynchpin striking will cause a collapse, probably best not to call them moaning Minnie's and realise they have a stronger position

So many worthless features in an iPhone update, and they still won’t do “add speech bubbles to photographs,” an easy feature literally everybody would love

Man Britain has just abandoned germ theory

Look. The BBC news is saying that there are an "average of 2660 *a day* in hospital beds in England". That sounds like a rate ("a day"). It's not. If the amount *in* hospital goes up 50%, that's not the same as the *rate* going up by 50%. At all.

Thinking about beans

ah, the dipshit ouroboros

Advertising copy is so embarrassing "if you love Christmas you'll love Aldi" ...what are you talking about

Whomp-whomp

Also the bma are reballoting for continued strike action ATM, just gonna be a mess
