Wes streeting is a rancid POS. Do the media know they don't have to report on a single thing he says or does?

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Need to get car insurance quotes today, it's almost renewal time. As someone drove in to me and admitted responsibility, my premiums will increase for 5 years. Which seems entirely fair and reasonable. I'm legally obliged to help insurance companies make profits. A perfect world

Extremely good analogy. The endgame for AI companies is that everyone becomes dependent on their tech, and has to keep paying $2000 / year to write software.
High-quality software is not actually necessary to achieve that goal.

It feels like a lobster trap to me. Once you’ve vibe coded something it’s basically unmaintainable by a human so you’re kind of stuck interacting with your code through that interface forever.

Oh no, you can't say things like this. Don't you know cyclists are *different*. The highway code can't apply to them because they're the mostest special people out there. They're the victims, if anything

The worst thing about the winter Olympics is that torvill and dean won something. We need to move on. Why don't we celebrate Amy Williams in the same way? Lizzy Yarnold, who won two golds? Eve Muirhead, Hailey Duff, Jennifer Dodds, Mili Smith, Vicky Wright? Why aren't these people worth mentioning?
