Technology has now advanced to the place where a human remotely controlling a robot can duplicate the dishwasher loading skills of a blind-drunk student coming home absolutely slaughtered at 5am. Truly a labour-saving miracle
The loading-the-dishwasher struggle is real. Even—or especially—for the $20,000 1X Neo humanoid home robot.

His name is Ozy and his legs are on the sand
Just like his wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
And when he boasts of works he shows you all he can
Oh Ozy, Ozy, sculpted in an antique land

Ozymandias
Legs over there but his body is here in the sand
Sneer of command.
Look at his works, kings.
Not much is left of his power and glorious reign.
Nothing remains

This article has absolutely enraged me, from the unquestioning parroting of locals by the writer to the locals themselves. How do you counter people who think immigrants are going to sail round from Calais to the fucking Severn and up the Wye to Buxton www.bbc.com/news/article...
Buxton: Why one small town with very little immigration turned to Reform UK
How national concerns affected a local election in the heart of the Peak District.

Long day of housework. Cook dinner. Put film on. First bite, scald the roof of my mouth.
