It is hard to tell how much of a algo rabbit hole we've been drawn into investigating AI content but it seems X is riddled with AI content including conspiracy theorists making their posts more engaging.

recall having a discussion with someone who was very angrily against a 50% tax band, but every time he said "the government can't take half of everything someone earns" I'd correct him and explain, again, how tax bands worked. Exhausting mindset.

"Gender critical" is just a polite euphemism for taking away other people's bodily autonomy.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Hugely annoyed at this idea that Reeves has "backed off from idea of raising income tax" when all talk of raising income tax seemed to be coming from media speculation, and not Number 11.

If you need to ease into this, start by ditching the post credit scenes that are teasers for movies that aren't even under the same title as the film you're currently watching. Yes, I'm looking at you, Antman.
I never want to wait for a post credit scene again for the rest of my life. If you want me to think it's part of the movie, put it in the movie.

Does anyone know a particular run of anti-joke comic strips that went as follows:
Chap #1: What do you do for a living?
Chap #2: I [some kind of trade]
Chap #1: How's business?
Chap #2: [NOT A PUNCHILNE]
I recall there being hundreds of individual strips, but can't find them whenever I search.
