Another boring, pointless international break. Seems like that’s every other weekend, at the moment. Is anybody seriously excited by these?! All they do is break up the domestic season, and kill any momentum or enthusiasm.

Remember when Apple tried to tell us that two USB-C ports was plenty for a ‘pro’ device? And all the rubes still bought them, because they nod along with whatever nonsense Daddy Apple tells them?

AI companies like "our product will convince you to kill yourself, then monetize your spouse's grief with microtransactions while it also sexts with both them and your child. We lose billions of dollars a month btw"
And almost half the US stock market is now inextricably tied up in them.

![[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.

This was always going to happen. AI should NEVER be responsible for anything involving high risk situations ESPECIALLY INCLUDING healthcare. Chronic pain kills if mishandled.
a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

I feel for Manning, but his position was untenable even before today, and that is the right decision. But now, that’s absolutely crucial that we make the right appointment; not a short-term fix, and a ‘system’ manager who’s allergic to results… #NCFC

People are taking the piss out of this, but I was intrigued by the Polish marking. Turns out it's an acknowledgment by the local community of three Polish squadrons who flew from a local RAF base, 22 of whom died in service and 6 of whom are buried locally. I think the mockery is uncalled for.

One thing I will never understand is so-called ‘fans’ hoping for their own team to lose. Once you are actively rooting for a team to lose, you are functionally no longer a ‘supporter’ of that team. #NCFC

I don’t know how to feel about that. On the one hand, we can’t even beat the bottom team who are on negative points; on the other hand, at least the run of consecutive defeats has ended, and at least we actually came from behind to salvage something for the first time this season. #NCFC

I take no pleasure in this, but I did predict that a week ago… (And yes, I know we’ve only played ten minutes so there’s plenty of time to get back into this — but we haven’t come from behind once yet this season, so the smart money is on defeat, even now.) #NCFC

Spurs conceded earlier because they were ‘playing out from the back’. Now Aston Villa have conceded because they were ‘playing out from the back’. The continuing popularity of this suicidal football is actually baffling.

Another match in which we’ve been by far the better team in the first half, but failed to capitalise… Bring on the traditional second half collapse. #NCFC
