My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

NEW UPDATE!!!
We’ve got ONE full week left before pre-orders close and we are SO close to reaching all the goals for the collectors edition cards.
If we can hit 250 on both levels, that’ll still be an awesome amount to give to the charities.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.
Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Good point about why AI isn't being designed to replace domestic chores or tedious manual labor. The tech billionaires pushing this stuff into art and relationships have servants; they don't need robots.
These guys have never had to do any of that kind of difficult or gross stuff so of course AI is mostly a way to address their own lack of an inner life.
