In honour of me getting flipped off by a farmer for saying "boo you daft cunts" to one of those farmers4justice wankers today, why not play my baffling comedy game about one man's inscruitable desire to strangle a horse to death?
Yesterday I updated my first (and very silly) choose your own adventure game "i will strangle a horse"!
The update brought the wordcount from 7660 to 13500+, and introduced:

That's one take, sure, but what I'm seeing is that 86 47 is an Arabic threat to the innumerate President.

Loomer is particularly dangerous in a breaking news situation. Before Thanksgiving 2023 there was an explosion at the U.S.-Canada border. It turned out to be a medical incident or mechanical problem or both.
Loomer sent several unhinged tweets insisting it was terrorism. They’re still up.

On this basis alone, it would be politically possible to ban Meta. Professionally, I would appreciate this - Facebook scams are absolutely rife, even when customers really ought to know better.
And I use WhatsApp, so it's not like I won't be inconvenienced.

Facebook is a scam factory. Meta's own internal audit reveals 10% of their revenue comes from spam advertising - $16bn annually. Between 2020-2023 scam losses in Australia increased 249%. In 76% of cases, contact occurred on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp).

There's going to be a huge number of experienced and talented software developers with significant gaps in their resumés in a year or so.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Couldn't stop laughing at Christine Amanpour ex-husband saying that his red line for collapsing US rule of law is if SCOTUS gives Trump the tariff power over the Senate.

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."
