I like to mix it up and sometimes I sigh AND give a shake of the head. Other times sigh and then scream into the abyss. You know. For fun.

Have you thrown in the occasional big sigh for variety?

I’m always tickled when ‘fairness’ is cited as a British ‘value’. Since when? I mean, the likes of Michelle Mone get the infamy, but it’s the less known people who lose a court case and owe money but then mysteriously their company Moonshine is bankrupt but ‘Moonshone’ is now up and running.

Had to give up on Channel4 because just so many adverts! Less than 10mins in and watched more than that in adverts.

This is a far too logical and considered take for online sports chat!
Where’s the outrage! Where’s the vitriol and hyperbole!

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

That ‘Eminem as 50s soul’ video and the wedding cake dog, and the bear in the garden are like the gateway drug videos to mass manipulation.
“You know it’s AI?”
“So? It’s just a fun video.”

Cool. Doomed.

Trying not to think about the scale of AI videos and content they will be around for the next election.
Politicians won’t even go on campaign trail they’ll just get fake videos and most people won’t be able to tell.

World Mental Health Day seems like a good day to consider all options for a new job.

My side gig supply teaching just makes me too sad/depressed/angry.

Do they still have career advisors anywhere?
