Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

This is fucking insane. It reads like a bad spy novel. The corruption is almost cartoonish at this point. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

That is spot on. The other thing: art is trying to say 'no one has done this/said this in exactly the same way before' whereas AI is saying 'art is nothing more than the sum of all its previous component parts'. AI denies the empathy and originality of art.
M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

I assume by "raid" they mean slight diminution of their obscene profits? 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just anecdotally, I’m noticing what feels like a concerted attack on disability in legacy media at the moment, whether it be funding through PIP, just basic diagnosis around autism & ADHD (& how this is supposedly *over*diagnosis) & attacks on the very principle of receiving benefits if ill/disabled
For those who think @cjayanetti.bsky.social is being hyperbolic. These are the current three "top stories" on the Times app. How this is taken as anything other than a targeted attack on disabled individuals, especially neurodivergent ones, is beyond me.

Russia has not only provided intelligence support to Iran but, as it turns out, has also supplied missiles to the Iranians. (Bloomberg News) Americans were killed by Iranian attacks using these weapons. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Wrong about Trump Wrong about Truss Wrong about Brexit Wrong about austerity Wrong about Net Zero On every major call of the last two decades, the UK right has failed - totally. They should never be allowed near power again.
Today let’s remember the UK right’s collective adoration of Donald Trump. They championed him, said he was far better than the alternative, that he would deliver a New Jerusalem while owning the Libs. As with every other major call of the last 20 years, they were totally and unequivocally wrong.
