late 40something Maidenhead United fan, also soft spot for Yate Town. Love non-lge football, trying for a game in each round of all domestic senior competitions w/Wembley final (3 down, 3 to go). Love gigs & festivals. Politicaly “left”.

Say “hi” 👋
Wouldn’t even wipe my arse on it.

Looking forward to welcoming you to Maidenhead next month, on that basis 😉 Don't worry, you'll probably win that.

It is 100% about right, based on my having been there and having gotten Julia’s setlist to corroborate my aging memory.

YES!!! ROCK! RECORD!

Accompanying tour also please? Thank you.

Not sure how different they are — certainly the UK ones are highly intelligent and seem to tolerate at least me (my neighbour and my daughter, less so…)

This is just weird. I presume this is a peak Aussie thing or something. I have a massive (12 or so) colony of magpies (including this year’s juveniles) living in the tree in my UK garden. No swoops or attacks whatsoever. Basically, you just have to have killer EVERYTHINGS in Straya, right?!?

I’m looking forward to Eminem doing the synchro swimming, and Snoop Dogg doing dressage. (Yes, this is what AI think Snoop looks like. And I’m fine with that 🤣)

It’s like going to the toilet — the shit stinks, it’s not always pleasant to be there, and you wash your hands afterwards.

Yes. But I stick around on Twitter for two reasons: firstly, some socials that I follow (football or music related, mostly) haven’t made the leap yet. Secondly, know your enemy — when it becomes an unobserved echo-chamber populated only by the right, that’ll be when it’s truly dangerous.

We’ve common ground then. I got banned for calling Piers Morgan a c**t, then banned for dismantling alt-right keyboard warriors’ arguments in the only way they really understand (sinking to their level, where they can of course beat you with experience), but managed to not have my third acct banned.

You still on Twitter? We could have the same conversation again over there with different outcomes. 🤣

Fire can be for cooking, staying warm, or the social campfire environment for group conversation (be that entertainment or education and discourse).

My point again being things like AI, marketing/advertising, tech, pharma etc can be used to further human innovation, experience, creativity.

I take on board your points in all areas — misuse of such things is to our detriment & displeasure. But same can be said of innovations like fire or the axe.
