I should say that our role is to support them in this.
To use whatever political power we have, over time, to enable them to be the future we want to see.
That's our role, as Xennials or Millennials.
Build a fucking future the hardcore right can't unpick.

I rebooted and Windows 11 put an AI copilot button beside the start button without asking. The first thing I asked it was how to turn it off, and it answered incorrectly. Twice. Then I asked it who I was married to and it hallucinated a new job for Jenn, a son, and a dog - with fake references

It’s pretty amazing how much better and less obnoxious country music was up until about 2001 when it decided every song should be about how people who drink beer in small towns are better and more moral and more just than any other human being on earth

I particularly love this bit:
This is an outrage! They followed known Neo-Nazi accounts (which we allow on our site, and don't prevent ads from running next to) and accounts for large advertisers. Yes, their report was accurate, but they made it that way!
Uh ... so fucking what, boys?

Definitely done with remakes for Pokémon games. I don't want to retread the same games again.
I've said it before but give me new games in old regions.
Give me games like Kanto 30 years after Red & Green.
Stuff like that is much better, hits the nostalgia still but is fresh

They're just lies. The Conservative 2019 Manifesto says nothing about trans people; the 2019 Manifesto explicitly says 'We will overhaul the current immigration system, and make it more fair and compassionate'. These are demonstrable lies.

Calling on an ex-PM, especially one from pre-2016, feels like Westminster equivalent of going into administration. Cameron on board is a sign that Project Sunak has reached political insolvency.

Someone tell Cameron he can’t just come back and take charge whenever he feels like it. We’re a country, not a child you’ve left in a pub.

A reminder that there is an area in London called 'Ham', if you happen to be a current Prime Minister who suddenly needs to ennoble a previous incumbent.

Imagine Cameron having to meet all the EU leaders.
Like when that one manager comes back after an "extended absence" where everyone knows EXACTLY what he did, but HR have banned you all from talking about it.

One of the problems with AI is that it can't really create anything new. It just rehashes old snippets of stuff in ways intended to LOOK like there's actual choice behind them.
Sunak's decision to do the first AI-led Cabinet reshuffle is thus a bold, but flawed, idea.
