For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

Other interesting things that were mentioned:

- The American cut of #Pillion had to be censored because of the Motion Picture Association, particularly in one scene with a blowjob where the shine of a smear of cum on Harry Melling’s face had to be digitally graded to be less obvious.

Rosalind Franklin (1920–58), physical chemist, @newnhamcollege.bsky.social revealed DNA’s double helix at www.kcl.ac.uk. Contemporaries @cambridgephysics.bsky.social + KCL won the 1962 Nobel. @nobelprize.org.
Her untimely death and bias denied rightful recognition.

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

New polling from European Movement UK shows that three quarters of people who see the economic damage of Brexit now back joining the Single Market and Customs Union to cut taxes and rebuild public services. The public knows the route to recovery, even if the Government refuses to face it.

Any headline that ends in a question mark used to be answerable with "No."
Any question headline that starts with "Why?" can these days be answered with "NOBODY'S GOT ANY FUCKING MONEY!!"

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
