I see more and more mistakes in on-line articles from newspapers. Is this #AI slop or just laziness?
This particular example from the Mirror, but it's all over the place..

I did, in 2019, and it's fine to disagree with me, but I'm not sure why all the venom. It's one thing to call out other parties for bad policy, but I thought the FB advert was childish and it's not the first. My hope was that the Greens would be better than others, but maybe I'm just being naive.

Do you think this Facebook advert is acceptable? I joined a few years ago hoping the Green party was better than this, but increasingly I see just another party of playground politics.

I joined the @greenparty.org.uk thinking that they brought some hope of a better way of doing things. And now I've got this shit in my FB feed. I think I'm going to cancel my membership after I've voted against Zack Polanski. I'll give the money to a green charity instead.

None of this makes any sense.. He's only just started paying 40% tax after being bumped up to 6 figures, yet he paid 60K in tax, but after all that has decided to quit anyway. 🤷❓
