"And now on BBC4, to mark what would have been her 100th birthday, we celebrate the life & work of Margaret Thatcher..."

Oh no we fucking don't.

Off you pop, dickheads...

Are physical NUS cards still a thing nowadays or is it all digital on phones & all that bollocks?

(I haven't had one since 1991.)

If so, you could always "liberate" one from a pissed-up hooray.

It's right up there with signing political petitions for me.

Utterly pointless & fools the signatory into feeling like they're doing something meaningful when they're not.

Kop-out justification for inaction.

Same here.

They're pushing a certain narrative & there's effectively fuck all you can do to curate your own feed now.

And as you say, the repetition's ridiculous.

That's the thing, isn't it - the speed with which the tech's developed so rapidly.

As recently as 12 months ago, you could pretty much spot it immediately b/c of the shonky rendering but a lot of it's proper cinematic quality now.

Fuck knows what they're showing Trump & passing it off as real.

I've basically given up on YouTube now for anything other than music.

I like to think I'm pretty savvy with this stuff but it's now genuinely impossible to spot a lot of the AI slop b/c it's become so convincing.

It's truly dangerous now.

Careful with the Batshit there.

I got mobbed by a load of militant neurodivergent types on here the other week & was told I was "enabling Fascism" by using that word.

(Seriously - I'll link the exchange if anyone's interested. It was certainly "interesting"...)

I know you think everything's brilliant in your mid-20s, but this one really was.

Massively underrated band in my opinion.

And it'll be the same with the Greens.

There's a finite number of politically-engaged left-leaning people in this country & it's nowhere near enough to move the dial.

Pandering to racists is easy.

Convincing them that they're wrong & should vote differently is functionally impossible.

Turns out I was looking at "gap 0" which doesn't have an option to reply.

So that's me failed & getting deported then.

Woo hoo!

Bring it on.

Sorry, but if it thinks "others" is the correct answer for the first gap, the whole thing's clearly bollocks.

It's not hard; it's wrong.

5 Billion unemployed when the Tech Bros replace us all with AI?

Hmmm...that could end badly for them.

Sort of "on the wrong end of a pointy stick" badly.

Probably safer to cut the angry mob down a bit by making them all susceptible to formerly eradicated diseases which used to kill people.
