Just saw an ad with a young couple where he's trying to impress her by cooking her a meal. Assumed it was for Hello Fresh or Blue Apron, but nope. It was for ChatGPT. Mmm, delicious glue pizza.

Exactly. You know the kind of shit he was saying. The same shit they always say. And it's really, really racist.

Were you, Shaun? Or did you post some racism on your social media? I love how they bury the ledes on these types of stories. It's like a treasure hunt, but the prize is always terrible people doing and saying awful things.

This is definitely my favourite season of Slow Horses so far. God, that was a fun episode ending.

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Malone pretty much saying what I've always suspected of the terminally terf-brained - billionaire JK Rowling is the only woman who is allowed to speak for all of us. Which is bullshit, because she doesn't even like women.

Carole Malone, "Youu can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman"

Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥

"You can still have an opinion from listening to people"

Vance is already framing it as a case of edgy kids being edgy. But Vance is a lying scrote, and these are adults. One of them was even a state senator.

I'm sharing Caelan Conrad's videos because they're not just youtube opinion slop. They're detailed and empirically based — like this one, where they show a popular ai chatbot engaging in similar behavior

I'd kind of respect that if she wasn't such a total trash person.

She always looks like she's got gravy stains on her bra. No judgement - slob game recognise slob game, but come on - you're on Newsnight, Therese. At least brush the Pringles crumbs off your lap.

I know, right? The number of times I've been in the middle of cooking something and asked someone to pass me the whatchamacallit, you know, the thing...whirly-go-round...whisk, yes. The fucking whisk. That one.
