More garbage from corporations using AI to replace human jobs. Not sure who they asked but I don't know anyone who prefers to deal with a chatbot, they can barely deal with routine tasks and fail completely once things get not straightforward. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Is anyone screening the US administration for intelligence deficiency or humanity deficiency? What does Kegsbreath want? A military full of psyched up psychos who explode and die from testosterone abuse? Starship Troopers is fiction. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Google scraped headline about Green Party with a picture of the wrong person by it. Zack Polanski and Alex Horne may both have front teeth gaps but only one of them is leader of the Green Party and is having to have donated funds returned. Oops, bad picture choice by the AI?

Eight year old read the menu at a cafe and asked for sparkling water. It arrived, they looked at it in disgust and said 'this is just fizzy water. I wanted water with sparkles'. Oh, how language disappoints people.

Is it just me? I can no longer zoom images in BlueSky in browser on Android. It used to work, it stopped maybe a day ago. Zoom works fine on other tabs, has someone vibe coded something again? Bit of an annoyance when someone posts an image full of small text... it just can't be read.

TIL an author whose work I have very much liked up to now is a fucking right wing wanksplat who quotes from grok. Ah well, won't be buying any more of his books.

Trump may whine that Starmer is not Churchill, but sure as eggs, Trump is no Roosevelt. Roosevelt wasn't a child raping, child murdering insane boss of a crime family.

So Kegsbreath is boasting of having murdered a bunch of Iranian sailors by sinking an Iranian Navy ship in the Indian Ocean. Not personally ofc because he is a desk jockey alkie, but there's another group of US military personnel in for Nuremberg 2.

The US military again busy not obeying the overarching requirement of their oaths to defend the constitution by illegally bombing yet another country without congressional approval. Don't count on them obeying the requirement they do not act against citizens if the administration orders it.

By the FBI's own definition, ICE are domestic terrorists. Perhaps it's time the US military dealt with the domestic terrorists and those at the head of the terrorist organization in the way they dealt with non domestic terrorists that impacted the USA. www.fbi.gov/investigate/...

FGS Google, it's bad enough that you fit batteries to the Pixel 7a that fail within two years normal use. But the fix involves find a walk in service place and get there or opening a Payoneer account. Great, you either burn my time or burn part of the refund on Payoneer fees. Customer service?

Morbid thought ... They DO believe climate change is real and they've worked out that there are two ways to cut CO2 emissions. They are going for population reduction to a level that allows the rich to carry on regardless.

We all know the 🍊💩 is illiterate. When he said the USA was going to run Venezuela what he actually meant was ruin Venezuela. And then the rest of the world with the insane hunt for resources for the billionaires.

So that consummate malignant narcissist has just legitimised Israel taking over Gaza, Russia taking over Ukraine and Europe apart from the bits the US wants, China taking over Taiwan, India taking over Pakistan or the other way round and thereby global war. So much peace it's unreal.

And the US military just go along with illegality and ripping the constitutional and transnational norms to shreds. Come the US Nuremberg trials there won't be enough soldiers to fill firing squads if that is the route the US takes for dealing with the guilty.

So now the 🍊💩 is claiming the BBC used AI to put words into his mouth he didn't say. Originally he objected that the BBC had cut parts of his speech together to give a false impression. Watch this purely grift case get laughed out of court because of his lying.
