lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.

Canadian and Australian right wing leaders both lose their seats within weeks.
Meanwhile UK Labour thinks going to the right is the way to win, even though the right reject them and the left are alienated by them.
Read the f*ing room.
More importantly, feel the threat from progressive voters.

Another vote for european-alternatives.eu - so far I've dropped a few streaming services, switched iCloud for kDrive, switched gmail for kMail with. For Amazon I've started buying direct wherever possible and I'm already finding it saving a lot of money. For photography I'm using Darktable (free)

"A just and moral society should value the lives of all of its citizens, whether they have or do not have a job. It should also strive to combat the strains of work and offer hope for a future where we can all enjoy life more, including with less work."

💡Labour’s rhetoric on welfare cuts isn’t just about finances, but about morality. Keir Starmer has declared Labour the Party of work. But @davidaspencer.bsky.social warns about the risks of seeing work as intrinsically valuable and stigmatising those who can't work.

PSA: PUT YOUR DOG ON A LEAD.
Twice in the last few days I’ve been approached by massive, exuberant dogs who refused to come back when their owners called. On one occasion I was holding a baby. When I told the owner to put their dog on a lead, they scowled at me like I was unreasonable.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is wildly inventive, startlingly original & downright HILARIOUS! The entire cast is off-the-charts perfection from the opening moments until their well-deserved standing ovation at the curtain-call. Shakespeare has never been more FUN!!!

Gisèle Pelicot's power can never be overstated. May we build statues to her, write poetry about her, raise a glass to her each and every time we see a new report about a rapist who got justice.
And let's talk about Dominique Pelicot's shame.

This is Dolly. It's our 4 year rescueversary today. She's 16 and having a lovely time. She's pretty much perfect except for scratching the carpet and not eating the fancy food I buy her for a treat! Loves a lap to sit on and a comb to rub around. 10/10
