There was a post a while back with an alternate "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the weekend" - with I think Australian content rather than Daniel Craig.

But the top results here on "weekend" are almost all adult.

Here’s @sarahjeong.bsky.social somehow going even harder than the T-shirt at the AI-copyright conference: “[AI companies] have ushered in a wholesale destruction of human knowledge and culture that is as significant as the burning of the Library of Alexandria.”

Once you remember that these manosphere blokes actively benefit from their audience staying lonely and angry their "advice" makes sense.

As @anildash.com wrote on Nov 5th, Zohran has been so clear and consistent with his messaging that even his *opponents* typically repeat his top 3 slogans† verbatim when criticizing them.

There's no doubt what he stands for!

†freeze the rent, make buses fast & free, deliver universal childcare

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

The second Biscuit Makers' Union poster follows the workers of biscuit making from "from field to tummy." This journey is depicted literally in the poster: starting with farm fields, through harvest, and production. A closer look at the bottom reveals a fleet of trucks ready to deliver biscuits...

Is it wrong that I want a website where I can read this emails (anonymized, of course)
I’m getting more and more of these too. It’s depressing.
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.
