Actually, Frankenstein is the family name, so he should correctly be called Frankenstein's Monster Frankenstein.

I'm guessing that 90%+ of £2m+ properties are in London, which by sheer coincidence is where 90%+ of media whingers live. The ones that aren't in Florida or Dubai, anyway.
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Exceptionally nasty, in the quote below. Do you notice how, if the press wants damning evidence of Farage’s hateful views and behaviour, all they have to do is ask whether anyone has encountered it?

I've never met a programmer who was actually any good and thought AI was useful.
I think that may be the core division here: if you are an author or an artist the cons of generative AI very likely outweigh the pros for you
If you are a software developer the opposite is true

Bluesky not addictive to teens but definitely a crutch for elder millennials who know too much about the Bajoran war.
Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat know how addictive their platforms can be to teens.
Those are allegations a group of school districts is making against the social media giants, according to a newly unsealed legal filing that quotes the companies’ own internal documents. https://cnn.it/3Xjq5x5

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I am just so unfathomably angry at the conditions trans people in the UK have to live in. A man screaming in a teenage trans girl's face about how she's a pedophile, sissy porn addict, etc, is cleared of wrongdoing. The BBC coins the incoherent term "teenage trans woman" to deny her vulnerability.

an underrated part of the British crisis is that the justice system is under massive strain, not least because criminal barristers are often being paid *less for taking a case than their costs in doing so.*.

I remember the last cross-examination question was about whether Sophia had been arrested. It wasn’t revealed at the time it was literally the convicted bigot who SWATTED her.
Here's a thread from Twitter shared with Sophia's permission in which she finally is able to talk about Graham using the police as HIS personal goon squad and getting Sophia arrested at home by EIGHT armed police officers, somewhat putting the standard Heathrow armed cops in perspective.
