![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

We just got copies of Mother in by @abscomics.bsky.social ! When Sylvie notices a patch of mould growing on her body she decides to raise it as her child.
This is a bright, colourful and occasionally mildly disgusting look at motherhood, responsibility and somebody who clearly doesn't wash.

It may not be "politically correct" to say this, but I don't care: The United Kingdom is a presidential republic, much like Egypt or France, with a unicameral legislature serving staggered six-year appointments.

Absolutely this. An amazing game. Amazing story. Genuinely revolutionary mechanics. Play it.
In an age of *really really good* video games, Arco still stands out as something deeply special.
If you like rpgs and you have the chance to check it out, I highly recommend it.

Sadly, it appears abundantly clear now that we have elected a bunch of complete fools, who have somehow convinced themselves that AI can conjure whatever fanciful nonsense pops into their heads. This is cult level patter.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?
