In my last job, I was part of a Copilot working group which had participants from across the whole (large) company. Our conclusion was that it was useful for summarising meetings or parsing through email threads but otherwise it made everything worse. We recommended it for “senior managers only”.

It’s time to prep Shitler’s room at the home. Trick it out with a nice big TV, lots of gold trim, a bar fridge stocked with Diet Coke, ultra potent room diffusers (for the sake of the nurses), a dummy iPhone that posts to nowhere, and an express delivery account with KFC and McDonald’s. It’s time.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

House MAGAs claim to know nothing about Trump's demands of Greenland Nothing about Trump grifting $1.4B while in office Nothing about Trump hiding Epstein files But they seem to know every last detail about alleged fraud in Minnesota from an incompetent 23 year old sycophant What a coincidence

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal
When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings
(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL

Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!

With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it. As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

This is the past two decades of journalism summarised. Far-right actors operating in bad faith continuously worked the referees, exploiting media's pursuit of a platonic ideal of objectivity to legitimise and mainstream their disingenuous grievances, and now the doors have been totally blown open.Gregk Foley @gregk.co.uk
And that's how, on a week when, e.g., Russia potentially deliberately entered Polish airspace and an intentional famine and genocide in Gaza approached its zenith the BBC news page has been dominated by the death of an American podcaster and a rally that is exploiting his death for political gain.
13 September 2025 at 16:01Gregk Foley @gregk.co.uk
The BBC's Director General was pressed in committee about the disproportionate coverage the BBC is giving to Reform, and his answer were tantamount to a mobster telling the cops, "Fellas, I don't know what you're talkin' about," because fuck you, it's not like you deserve a better explanation *now*.

Social media has made everyone stupider and more reactive, including me and you, but it is especially true for Twitter post-Musk, and the politicians and journalists who continue to use it as a primary information stream have, essentially, voluntarily given themselves severe brain damage.

Save this for the ICC JD Vance endorses murdering civilians: "I don't give a shit if you call the killing of civilians a war crime"

Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.

Killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.

Turning 50 today has taught me 2 things: 1) I shouldn’t expect any kind of birthday greeting from my wife or have the audacity to ask for one. 2) From the “present” she got me, I guess I’m officially in the “let’s hurry up & get you dyin’” phase of life. 🪦💀
