The comments underneath the article are so depressing. When people try and say what's claimed is incorect and cite The Good Friday Agreement etc, the pushback they get is strong. Rather than trying to engage with the facts, it's just vibes all the way.

Well worth listening to her episode(s) on the Rex Factor podcast.

Bonus Muse reference?

That must be awful. Are the phone company able to help in any way? I do worry about how my mum will cope as she gets older and if she starts getting confused.

In fairness, at the moment she's pretty good with that and if she's in the right mood will string them along for a bit before telling them to f off! It's all the online stuff that she finds so hard and things like GB news.

I asked my mum (75) about why she finds it so hard to critically evalaute stuff online, news etc. She said that in the 50s (in the UK at least) you respected and trusted authority. In return 'authority' was reasonably honest. It's really hard for her to process that & be more sceptical.

Used to be home to the Royal Artillery until it was sold off and turned into luxury flats. Last I heard the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery were now stationed there and could sometimes been seen exercising the horses across the common.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Proof that karma can be preemptive - my absolute wrongun of an ex was chopping jalapenos, went for a pee and forgot to wash his hands first. The scream was truely something.

In a tank. Can someone photoshop that please.
