Pray for me. I'm having to use Edinburgh Airport's "accessibility" again. 🙏
(Last time they left me stranded on the tarmac in the snow because the flight was massively delayed and the accessibility staff had all clocked off for the day.)

Has anyone crunched the numbers on how much extra income tax would be made if England adopted the Scottish rates/thresholds?

![[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:
What
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
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
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.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Similar feelings to watching No. 10 throw parties while the "bodies piled high" and we weren't allowed to sit down during our one little designated outside walk time.
it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

Welcome to our Monorail tongs, please hold on to the handles throughout your culinary journey and stay clear of duller options. After all, why use ordinary tongs when you can use these stainless steel...

Reaching out to the Bluesky hive mind again because you were so good last time this happened and I have nobody around here to talk this through with.
Today another person called me at work, initially seeming to need our services, only to give me an extremely detailed trauma dump.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.
The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

In my benevolent regime, retail and fast food workers will be allowed to slap one (1) customer with a soggy mop per week, consequence free.
In my benevolent regime kids will be allowed to run about in restaurants and pubs like Sonic the Hedgehog but they will also suffer spike traps and deadfalls like Sonic the Hedgehog.
In my benevolent regime there will be guillotines on every station platform for use on people who don't use headphones

Did anyone else have a little shudder at "AI-powered surveillance service"?
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
