Reform Ltd is just one big grift.
It takes a special kind of right-wing British political party to literally sell black shirts.

Are you going to tell them?

Or shall I?

Went to certain wee coffee place on Leith walk for an espresso. The espresso was nice but the Barista dude had 0 conversational skills.

Good morning. Happy Fraturday!
It is blowing a proper hoolie out there, might pay plans for my walk along the coast that I had wanted to do. Later tonight I am off to the annual whisky tasting in S. Queensferry and had hoped to go for a wee walk before,

The first Gilded Age had railroads and robber barons. The new one has AI / LLMs and tech oligarchs. Same script, new machines.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

I and an old school mate drove up from East Anglia the day before, had a big night out in Glenrothes, went to the game, and then celebrated all the way back down the M6. What a day!

Hells teeth this VM I connectd to where I am doing all my work is set even worse than the others. If you leave it for anything more than a minute ( and I have to look on my main machine) it disconnects.
The client I am working for has certainly skimped on their VM budget.

Putting all your AI eggs into one basket......
James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.
