❌ AI generated slop menus with pictures that make your food look like worms ✅ scribbles on a piece of paper saying how much the soup cost
4 panel comic:
Panel 1:
A chef with a wooden spoon talks to a brown dog (bruno). He says “I have a new business!” Bruno answers “cool!”
Panel 2: he shows his menu. He says “this is my menu”. We can’t quite read what it says yet
Panel 3: a zoom in on the menu. It has just a few lines written on it. Soup: 1. Bread: 1. Soup + Bread: 2. He kept it very simple!
Panel 4: He shows Bruno a small pencil. He says “I designed it with this”. Bruno approves and goes “nice!”

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

I don't know if it's just that this UK government missed the context of growing up in Ireland in the 90s, but they should probably be aware that gangs of lads in balaclavas don't have the best intentions for the public.

"If there there was a window it was not broken, but it if was broken it was not by Nigel Farage's ball, but if it was his ball he certainly did not kick it, and if he did kick it, it was an accident and he knew nothing about it" said a Reform spokesperson.

If early release can be altered so as to exempt homicide offences, it should be. Prisoners who have caused the gravest harm should be among the last to benefit from the overcrowding crisis. But carving out exceptions for individual prisoners in response to media campaigns is weak and unprincipled.

I hate that thing Nigel Farage does when he's being defensive and suddenly really loudly laugh-talks. It's so jarring. And his meat-teeth, all 300 of them, are suddenly all on display and I can smell the stink through my telly.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Reminder: When the US Women’s National Team plays in the World Cup, anything short of a title is treated as failure. When the men’s team loses, we say, “They did their best.” Why are women expected to win it all while men get credit just for trying? How is that fair?

Everyone is rightly focused on his "low wage foreigners" comment but I'm infuriated by the "we're going to restore dignity to the working class by bringing back manufacturing." NO YOU WON'T. MASS HIGH WAGE FACTORY EMPLOYMENT FOR NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED WORKERS IS NOT COMING BACK. YOU KNOW THIS.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a panel of judges are sitting at a table with a black tablecloth and a small sign that reads: TRYOUTS. A young person is in the middle of a performance when the eldest judge interrupts by saying, “thank you, we’ve seen enough.” The other judges next to him seem equally bored and unimpressed. Panel 2: the middle judge continues, adjusting his glasses to read off of a clipboard. “Next up… walrus dressed like Big Smoke from GTA San Andreas.” Panel 3: a walrus dressed like Big Smoke from GTA San Andreas appears before them. The walrus bashfully asks, “…is this the right room?” The middle judge gazes upon the walrus in awe, with his mouth slightly agape.

I worry we are going to spend years politically obsessing over bringing back factory jobs because voters seem to punish a politician less for promising to do the impossible and failing to deliver than they do for honesty about what is an unattainable yearning for a largely imagined past.

I know so many Americans, who are the best people I have ever met! It's sad your country is going through these...
Panel 1: Against a light blue background, Sven stands on the left, looking up at a white, simplified character sitting behind a high gray desk labeled "INSURANCE". Sven says, "I NEED HEALTHCARE". The insurance agent looks at him with an open mouth, saying, "LMAO! YOU SERIOUS?".

Panel 2: The scene slightly zooms out. A second white character has joined the first behind the insurance desk. The first agent points dramatically at Sven, shouting to his colleague, "HEY! THIS GUY WANTS HEALTHCARE!". The second agent throws his head back in intense laughter, shouting, "AHAHAHA!!". Sven stands there looking dejected and small.

Panel 3: The scene abruptly cuts to a bedroom with a purple wall. Sven is in bed, waking up in a cold sweat with a terrified, wide-mouthed expression, sweating and shouting, "NOOOO!!". Next to him, a green-skinned partner with blonde hair opens their eyes sleepily and asks, "WHAT'S WRONG, SVEN?".

Panel 4: A close-up of Sven sitting up in the dark against a pitch-black background. He looks deeply shaken, clutching his head with sweat dripping down his face. He somberley says, "I THINK I HAD AN AMERICAN DREAM...".

The UK has failed entirely to even try to enforce its supposedly world-leading Online Safety Act – to the extent that Starmer is introducing this Internet ban instead of even trying. So the idea that the UK is good at enforcement is just a total fiction.
