I just got a YouTube advert for ChatGPT promoting its use for dietary/nutritional advice. This is probably the most dangerous and irresponsible advert I have seen since they banned tobacco advertising. I have reported it. If you see it then please also report it. Lives are at stake here!

Screenshot of the YouTube Report Advert screen filled in with the following complaint and the Submit button ready to press:

"This advert is going to get people killed! You can not run an advert promoting the use of an LLM for dietary or nutritional advice. This is the domain of trained professionals. An LLM will pick up on whatever people want to be told, no matter how unhealthy, and amplify it. This will promote and exacerbate whichever eating disorders the users are most vulnerable to. I know that some people will use LLMs this in way anyway, without being prompted to, but having an advert that normalises this is going to kill more people that it otherwise would! Please take this advert off, either out of morality or just because you don't want YouTube to be mentioned in a coroner's report."

I'm not saying that the Europeans hold a grudge against us for Brexit but Lidl UK is trying to sell us plastic roast chickens for slightly more than the cost of a real, edible roasting chicken! Somebody in Bad Wimpfen is having a laugh at us and... well, I guess that's fair enough.

Advert for a plastic toy roast chicken for sale in UK Lidl. 15 pieces. £4.99, or £4.49 with Lidl Plus.

Your rockets crash in a humiliating fireball after an engine failure. *My* rockets splash down in the Pacific Ocean after returning to Earth earlier than planned. We are not the same.* * - We are the same, but the BBC will always cover up for my failures so, in that sense, we are not the same.

Ludicrous BBC headline: "Live. SpaceX's Starship splashes down in Pacific Ocean after returning to Earth earlier than planned"

I went to The Range a few weeks ago and I'm still searching for a rational explanation for this:

A box on a shelf in The Range. It says "2 PERSON INFLATABLE PEGASUS". There is a picture of the product. It looks a bit like if God got a swan wrong and the swan was plotting revenge.

"You might just as well say," added the first cormorant, perched on the red pole, "that 'I shit when I sit' is the same thing as 'I sit when I shit'!" "It is the same thing with you," said the second cormorant, perched on the green pole, and here the conversation dropped.

Two cormorants on the River Lee in Stratford, London. Each is perched on a different wide pole. The first pole is red. The second is green. Both poles are extensively streaked with white cormorant shit.

The front page of the Daily Mail where two of their wretched hacks are standing gormlessly either side of a lurid magenta panel with white and yellow text saying "Where do YOU stand in the divisive debate on how women should age? Two Mail writers go head-to-head. See pages 20-21." Above is the masthead informing us that this bootless drivel costs £1.30 per copy.

The Daily Telegraph has not one, not two, but three very obviously untrue stories on its front page today. Pure nonsense that no sane person would entertain for a second. Of the three lies this is the smallest but also the funniest.

They think that if they petulantly hold their breaths for long enough the Universe will shift by sheer force of their mighty Will and suddenly Ayn Rand will have been right all along.

The "Fetch happen" meme adapted to say "Stop trying to make The Fountainhead happen. It's not going to happen." Yes, I know it's a lame old meme but it's not like Elon deserves any better.

The front page of the Daily Express is beyond parody. There's no shortage of real news. It's not just Starmer and Burnham. The Donaldson story is huge too! But the Express is living in its own twisted little bottle Universe where reality can't intrude on obsession.

🚨 ALERT 🚨 ⚠️ EGG RACISM! ⚠️ ⚠️ EGG RACISM! ⚠️ ⚠️ EGG RACISM! ⚠️ This is not a drill. The Telegraph is deeply concerned over the colour of eggs. We need to take this very seriously. I'm serious. Are you shitting yourselves yet? I'm shitting myself. This could go on for a while. I might never stop.

Telegraph headline: "Sainsbury's stops selling brown eggs over net zero"

When far-right thugs attack the police at night that's "protest", and nobody dares call it a riot, but attending a peaceful, orderly and lawful daytime protest about Palestine is deemed "terrorism". I know that true objectivity is impossible but the framing here is bordering on the baroque.

A ludicrously over-elaborate baroque style gold picture frame. The ugly frame takes up more space than the picture itself would.

They are so wrapped up in the performance of toxic masculinity that they can't even recognise any other, more genuine, sort. Smiling? Gay. Playing ball? Gay. Supporting marginalised communities? Gay. Not being a sex creep? Gay. Have these antisocial bozos ever met a normal guy?

Hey BBC? Are you spending my licence fee on drugs? No? Well how do you explain this then? That has to be the work of Class A controlled substances, right? Surely nobody would post such humiliating nonsense when sober?

How can I put this delicately? The Daily Telegraph can fuck right off with this desperate nonsense. I mean, they might as well just start banging on about Lord Lucan again at this point for all the relevance this has to anything going on on planet Earth in 2025.

An "article" from the front page of the Daily Telegraph saying "Is the BBC to blame for the death of Diana?". I shit you not! They cut down trees to print this on. Any one of those trees would make a better editor than whoever wrote this desperate shite. Even American hedge funds are embarrassed by this.
