I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

If everyone in the UK signs this petition today, Government will act and everyone’s electricity bills will be significantly cheaper tomorrow - but until we tell them it’s important they’ll keep delaying petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Petition: Ban cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas
Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.

more businesses are relying on heroin use to increase employee efficiency. studies have found that one employee on heroin can replace three non-heroin employees at a fraction of the cost. ceo's should consider implementing heroin in their organizations or risk being left behind, say heroin dealers

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
