I generally agree with this from @daveshap.bsky.social - though sometimes, I like the machine to cosplay a human, like it's a character in the Holodeck. It should just wait to explicitly be told to do that, and not be its default.

Throwback to when I confronted the current Republican VP candidate, JD Vance, about whether or not he was a Nazi after he appeared on Sebastian Gorka’s show.

He didn’t take it well.

I’m really not looking forward to seeing Zelenskyy forced to perform ritual humiliation at the White House again.

He and the Ukrainian people deserve so much better.

We want to make sure Rachel Reeves MP sees some important % and ££s:
🇬🇧 80% of UK millionaires support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m

Time to turn off the taps.
Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada.
From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain.
As for the beer? It's shit anyways.
