“What’s the charge? Eating a seal?”

I see the Irish Times has a new 'Tip-offs' section.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Haha

Ordered too much Chinese food for one person so had to do the whole charade of pretending there were other people in the house too, but oversold it and accidentally crafted a one act play about strained friendships and growing apart that is being heavily tipped for awards.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

Damn right. Just the other day I listened to some 'hip/hop'.

I read this and went 'Oooo'. Now I must die.

Bin? They could get in the bin? I think a good option is bin.

It's not often you see a promising sentence burst into flames quite this badly.
