Om Vänsterpartiet nu tillsammans med C tvingar fram ett nyval kan jag ärligt säga att jag aldrig mer kommer rösta på V. Att få bort Tidö är en prioritet, ingen vinner på nyval. Förhandla bättre, rödgröna partier!

Men för helvete Ica?!? Ni skriver "idag springer man inte ute i onödan, var rädda om er" och tipsar sedan om "Foodora, Wolt och Uber Eats" Så att underbetalda gig-arbetare ska ge sig ut i snöstormen är lugnt?

Snön har lagt sig som ett tjockt täcke över Göteborg och idag springer man inte ute i onödan, var rädda om er

Men vi har såklart lösningar för att ni ändå ska kunna handla hos oss. Ni hittar oss både på Foodora, Wolt och Uber Eats om ni behöver få maten hemlevererad

Things that make me happy as a teacher: when a student whose BA thesis I failed reaches out to tell me how grateful they are for the constructive criticisms, and asking if I have any further advice on how to improve their work. No hard feelings, just gratitude that I engaged with their work.

If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop.

To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,

other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
