![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

I tried to read the BBC article but not sure if it's brain fog, which I'm really struggling with at the moment, or just lack of comprehension on my part, I just can't get my head around it..
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Watched the celebrity traitors.
I enjoyed it, but won't be watching it again, the entertainment part was far too offset by the excruciatingly drawn out format.
It was only the mad line up that got me interested in it.

Went out for 15 min scoot around estate. Knackered now. But it was so good to just be out for once.
Probably a bad idea given I have two appointments next week, but really needed it.
My left thumb seems to have the shakes now for some reason. 🤣

Not counting the short trip down the street on mobility scooter, I've not been out since July, for a blood test.
Makes me feel like I'm agoraphobic or something, which I'm not. Just not been able to with health.
At least I've been productive... Oh...

Saw an advert for a powered exoskeleton thing on someone on a bike.
I wonder what the law is around that? It's not an ebike, so is it potentially unlimited power as long as it involves human parts? 🤔 (And not exclusively for cycling use?)

“Someone else can pay for it”ism seems to have infected huge swathes of British politics. Left variants include wealth tax, more tax on the ultra rich, “debt doesn’t matter”, etc. Right variants include deporting people on welfare, “efficiency” cuts, etc.

Pretty interesting. It's also obvious of some potential glaring issues, which may or may not have been taken into account.
I think my "neighbourhood" which is different from the neighbours behind for some reason is in the lower third of deprivation.

Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.
He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

The 55w maximum brightness worked with halogen, but as bulbs got more efficient using less power, and white light it made things worse. Night sight is disabled with white.
