Hello, we're one of those weird 'bands' with only one member. We sound like Pet Shop Boys would if they were a hard rock band. Or Depeche Mode with big fat chunky guitars. You can listen to us at www.adarkadaptedheart.com.

Right wingers really are terrified of everything aren’t they. Cities they’ll never visit, colleges, blue hair, pink hair, lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, trans people, drag queens, communists, socialists, immigrants, refugees - it’s genuinely an endless list. How do they even leave their houses?

A sane person cannot listen to that madman and find him acceptable or tolerable. It's impossible. He's worse than your worse nightmare come true.

Human brains produce new ideas every second of every day. Sit down with a tiny child and ask them to explain something they're doing and you will hear half a dozen of them. Ideas are what humans *do*. The idea is by far the easiest part of any creative process.
But the point (there is a point) is, people fetishise the idea over the hard work of plotting and character development and research and internal consistency and just writing the fucker, because the Idea is the sparkly magic bit.
And this is what makes them put value in the AI prompt.

I just don't understand what about immigration is supposed to be so worthy of constant 'discussion'. The cost of living and the effects of post-Brexit, and the threat of AI come to that, are far bigger issues.

Why do you all have to mention "Tommy Robinson's" height when you're talking about what an evil person he is?
There's so much you could criticise about him but you choose one thing he can't control.

![[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:

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

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:

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.

The President is a pedophile and people are now trying to justify pedophilia so that they can justify voting for a pedophile. That’s where we are.

I mean, I don't want to be a dick, but is it not obvious that this is not just the greatest scandal in American history, but the greatest scandal in the history of the world? And hasn't it been obvious since day one?
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Some zit-riddled little cunt just told his friend to "Sit next to the man with the combover" (meaning me - I've got alopecia) on the train. That was the first time I've ever been insulted about it.
I was carrying loads of bags as well, so he knew he wouldn't be in danger, the fucking little coward.
