The whole company should have been shut down for what they did and the people who run it should be stripped of their flash homes and cars and given 50 years community service picking plastic out of the sea.

I hate Edinburgh the week after the fringe. The posters still up of comedians pulling their best "I'm fun" faces give the city a post-apocalyptic air.

When you see up close how much easier it makes EVERYTHING when school meals are free it becomes very clear that we make students pay for lunches because some people want students to not get enough food.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

What would we no longer have if fireworks were banned? Terrified pets, yet more pointless plastic released into the environment, antisocial moronic noise. Call me crazy but I reckon we can just about cope with that kind of loss, as a species.
