mini rant
Stand Up comics largely sniffed at podcasting & podcasters because they had live gigs and TV - when covid hit, so many went to podcasting (fairs fair) but then sucked up all the discourse. Now it feels like a comedy podcast isn't taken seriously unless its fronted by a stand up!

A few months ago, on the Neighbours (Australian soap) subreddit, a big controversy blew up about whether Paul Robinson could father a child, because he'd previously had a vasectomy.
I promise, this is relevant!

When I was in hospital w. baby M, I had some mismatched bottles of formula (different brands). Mum in next bay said "Don't mix brands, it causes bad constipation" - so tried to fact check it.
Midwife on ward said not true. NHS and NCT said not true. But Google AI on top of search results said true.

It's quite incredible how this poor and inaccurate tool has been prioritised and integrated *so* effectively that I regularly have people tell me something they've 'looked up' and I have to say 'you're not just reading the AI overview are you' and they are.

Aldi are doing a cherry soda. It’s not cherryade. It’s better than that. It tastes exactly like cherry juice, but occasionally tastes like those lager flavoured jelly sweets you used to get. It’s fantastic.

Stupid ban. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq5y2vzlyldo
Won’t achieve its aims. It will reduce the money available to UK broadcasters to create content. Banning similar ads around kids shows didn’t reduce the junk food market, just meant that there’s very minimal UK production of kids TV now.

Junk food advert ban set to come into force
The government hopes a ban on junk food adverts will prompt manufacturers to develop healthier recipes.

Hmm. Snowed a fair bit but the sun has melted it away. MORE snow forecast for later. Now to decide whether to go to the office to collect laptop and work from home tomorrow, or risk a terrifying cycle to work in the morning.

Found this laminated and zip-tied to a railway bridge today. Thought "oh, that's interesting!"
Went over for a closer look, and it's fucking AI slop. The bigger words are words, the rest are nonsense.
Why?! What is this for?! What did the people who made it think they were *DOING*??

Watching Seth Meyers on CNBC. Surprisingly, they’re running his recent Rob Reiner interview. But I’m distracted by them hiding the NBC logo, presumably as part of their divorce from Comcast.

I'm not necessarily saying that Grok should be set on fire, I'm just saying that in the early 1940s The Beano had a story in which Derek The Wild Boy of the Woods helps to build a giant robot Hitler, and in the end they decide to set it on fire, and it wasn't even a giant robot paedo Hitler

* Dial a rotary telephone
* Tell time from an analog clock
* Read or write cursive
