The amount of times I loudly tell my computer to fuck off is directly proportional to the amount of times some new AI barnacle appears and won't let me prise it off.

Some of the stats that were mentioned on the news were truly shocking. I knew things weren't great but I had no idea they were as bad as that. 😢

Once more preaching to the choir (I hope):
If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.

Pretends to be shocked that the New Zealand approach turned out to be the right one.
Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

I like how every six months or so we get a big "This Obscure Fasicst Thinker Is Key To Understanding The Modern Right" and without fail every one of those is the biggest loser you've ever heard of writing the stupidest articles you've ever read for Racism Monthly

It’s important that we normalise “fleeing the laptop to eat baked goods and stare in terror at a wall” as a key part of the scientific process

Did low productivity cause low wages or did low wages cause low productivity?
Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

I still don't understand why some people on this planet demand that others suffer absolutely agonising deaths - would we not all choose the garden method (at a ripe old age) if we could? Should we not all strive for such a death?
The founder of Dignitas, Ludwig Minelli, has died by assisted suicide aged 92.

Laura Kuntssberg has always been so obviously a rabid Tory.
Paging Robbie Gibb and Michael Prescott: if you’re pulling together another of those little dossiers on political bias at the BBC, I’ve got a submission for you.

Where was this energy for the Boris Johnson administration?
Watching Reeves being interviewed on Laura Kuenssberg and they’ve spent 10 minutes on (i) whether Reeves lied, and (ii) whether she broke the manifesto commitments.
Utterly futile.
