An appropriate platform ran by a fascist with an AI programme producing nudes of basically any woman no matter what age they are. These people are fucking morons.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

Voted Labour all my life. The current iteration is an embarrassment to any former Labour Party and led by a spineless coward.

Wife works in social care, so has to work NYE to get Christmas off. So I'm on year 3 off my own NYE tradition which is eating a fuck load of dumplings, putting the child in bed, drinking some red wine and watching a film. This year's film - Cinema Paradiso. It's not awful.

Great win for Oldham, away from home against top of the league. Last kick of the game. Delicious. If they can find goals then a playoff push is not out the question. 7 points off, 14 clear of relegation. Real solid consolidation season!

Feel like I become more and more ferociously anti-AI by the minute these days. Fucking hell I can't wait for the bubble to collapse and these grifters to get shot into the sun.
Could AI relationships actually be good for us?

Blissful day surround by family, cooked a porchetta, made some salsa verde then ate as many sandwiches full of them both as humanly possible.

Slightly behind on Taskmaster and Jesus suffering Christ, the Sam Campbell song in the prize task has done me in. Genuinely struggled to breathe there for a few minutes.

The Rob Reiner news is just so fucking depressing. But man, that filmography. 6 of his first seven films:
Spinal Tap
Stand By Me
Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
Misery
For a Few Good Men
All masterpieces and all different genres. Remarkable.

As I'm a terrible sleeper I managed to catch the first half of SA v OKC last night. Victor Wembanyama in that time played 5 minutes and was +20. Not sure I've seen anything like it before.

Oldham have now scored 16 goals in 20.5 games (3 in the last 5.5, all in one game). Makes it very difficult to win and draw games when conceding basically means you lose. Conceded 15. Guaranteed entertainment.
