Every time I see pics of these two together, I am freshly astonished that the country which, for almost my entire life, was the most important and powerful in the world, is now controlled by actual idiots.

When watching a Japanese movie in which a cop can see, stamped on their foreheads, the number of sexual partners everyone has had (though only while the cop is masturbating!), I did not expect this Everton fan to pop up.

Not sure what the worst thing I saw yesterday was - Michelle Mone whining that she's the real victim of her own apparent fraud, or this, where a man who looks to be in his 60s admits that he likes this teenage looking AI 'actress' because she's a virgin.

I put this disclaimer in the front of all @obversebooks.co.uk books now. Like you say, it'll get harder to be sure no AI has been used at all in a source as time goes by and it becomes more widespread, but you're right - not doing it knowingly is the key.

Hard to believe that this minister was really as honest about Charlie Kirk as this - he 'stood specifically against nonviolence', apparently.
Which is true, I suspect. He advocated violence against minority groups often enough, but still...
Or it could just be the BBC being rubbish again.

I don't usually post Twitter stuff, but these are serious allegations of bullying in the Edinburgh West Lib Dems - and while I've rarely heard anything other than that Alex Cole Hamilton is a bad 'un, I've generally found @cajardinemp.bsky.social to be a decent MP.
