Just an average middle-aged bloke. Into video games old and new. Left wing politics. Love stand-up comedy, but probably not the one you like. Will watch almost any sport that can be televised. Big motor racing fan, esp endurance/GT racing.

Satya Nadella can get fucked. "We've got to stop calling the garbage our AI produces 'slop'". Why, Satya? Did you ever hear of calling a spade a spade? Don't want to be the company that makes the bubble burst?
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.
JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.
A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.
“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.

You absolutely can't go wrong with a Super Pocket as a gift for someone who plays or used to play games. Neo Geo and Atari are probably my favourites, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Yes, I have them all. 😁

This is Ahmad. He as you can see, is recovering in hospital after disarming one of the shooters at Bondi Beach. Australians have donated over 1 million dollars towards his recovery. He is such a hero.

Bland doesn’t mean inoffensive. His triangulating, his pandering to Reform policies, his constant lying, his utter emptiness when it comes to principle, his willingness to throw vulnerable people under the bus all contribute to why he is so loathed.
How can this inoffensive man have become so viscerally loathed?

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.
