It’s a weird one, but it’s what the odious little man is on trial for currently.

Apparently if we ever find ourselves detained under Schedule 7 of the increasingly open to interpretation Terrorism act, you are legally required to do exactly that.

I despise Tommy Robinson as much as the next guy, but I don’t think it should be a crime to refuse to give the police access to your phone.

They do have a “but Batman: you and I are the same” vibe to them.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

You gained that extra parental strength and lifted a printer off me that had fallen on me.

Okay now there’s a dude in the doctors whose surname is Ullah and he’s a Very large white guy.

He keeps open mouthed coughing and has a Northern accent of a type you don’t hear much anymore. He’s wearing flip flops.

It’s a diverse world.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

At the doctors because of stomach pain and a grown adult human at the reception just said their date of birth was in 2007.

That’s not right is it?

How much are people being paid to parrot the phrase “AI is here to stay”.

It has to be financially backed. People are repeatedly saying this identical phrase.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.

The background is green with the Daily Express logo in the upper left and a photo of Zack Polanski speaking into a microphone on the right, holding a cartoon-style bundle of cash with a pound sign. Below, a mocked-up newspaper headline reads: “Zack Polanski wants to redistribute our money and turn Britain into a Left-wing haven.” At the bottom, the Green Party logo and web address Join.greenparty.org.uk are displayed.

No one goes to the pub because it's expensive and we don't have any money. Keeping it open later just means paying wages for longer, doing the businesses no good at all. Start looking at how much money people have to spend, lads.

In a woodcut released today the Guild of Thieves and Cutpurses declared that enforcement of regulations against Thieving and Pursecutting would ‘devastate a growth industry’ and damage the economy.

Robert Jenrick walking into his local Wetherspoons:

Awfully white in here isn’t it.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
