Octopus Energy telling me about their predicted reductions to my future bills.
when the labour party purges you you're supposed to stop existing. to continue to take part in elections voting inline with your previous convictions is not only rude, it's anti-democratic.
We used to make Pete Bondurants in this country
the people of manchester have spoken: britain demands trans rights and drug liberalisation
Yes officer, the word on the street is that Baron Mandelson is packing heat and says if he's going down he wants to waste some filth and go down in glory
Hoyle should have told the cops that Mandelson was tooled up
Post by user verynormalman on Twitter: My mum said she called woolworths and the woolworths AI “Olive” answered and kept claiming to be a real person and started talking about its memories of its mother and her angry voice. Then I googled it and someone on Reddit had the same thing The post by Reddit user Immediate_Novel5946 on r/woolworths: Olive AI started telling me about its mother on the phone? So my delivery driver decided that when he couldn’t find the very obvious entrance to my building (he was showing as being a street over), he returned to the store and didn’t answer any calls throughout the whole thing nor try to call me Either way I got a text to reschedule delivery by calling Woolworths, so I did and spoke with Olive, Woolie’s wonderful AI It asked me for my date of birth and when I gave it, it started rambling about how it’s mother was born in the same year and something about it creating photos or something I couldn’t keep up but like wtf? I’m already pissed that I have to call and now I’ve got some robot babbling to me on the phone? wtf Woolies? Has anyone had similar? Lmao

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.
Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.
it's weird and disconcerting how this government lets things just slike towards oblivion apparently because it just can't be arsed. See also higher education.

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl

losing my mind at this photo, it's literally the 'my t-shirt' meme
"Would you really feel any pity if I plagiarised one of those artworks? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every artwork that I plagiarised, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many artworks you could afford to spare?"
Damn that person close to Mandelson must feel stupid now the email has been released.
I really liked "The Killer is Dying".

I am always obligated when Niall Ferguson is mentioned to point out that he encouraged some of his students to go after another student whose politics he didn't like. One of the most unethical things I've ever seen an "educator" do.

centrists like to use terminology disputes as a proxy battle for actual policy fights, and engaging is often fruitless. if you don’t like the slogan use something else. but the agency needs to be hollowed out, every existing agent needs to be put on no-hire lists, and there need to be prosecutions.
lads lads im hearing that troops and flags might be purely cynical symbolism exploited by people who don't care about anything except their own right wing politics
Picture of two pens. The first is an ordinary ballpoint pen, with the caption “how work feels doing it alone”. The second is a picture of one of those novelty pens with ten colours that you had when you were thirteen, with the caption, “how work feels worh an AI employee”. At their bottom it says “hire an AI employee for $0.97/day”.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?
What a great time to be staking your entire institutional infrastructure on a US company.
As you know, I'm a great believer that in football the thing that should happen is the funniest thing that could happen. AFCON, you have done me proud.
BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.
Vox populi, vox dei, as the fella said.
Which word am I supposed to be stressing in this headline?
