Oh for a sudden lurch forward and a loud, resonant ‘THOK!’.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

I remember some bloke in town stopping me to try and convince me to lend him £50 that he promised he would post back to me if I gave him my address. I declined. His response was “Come on mate, what about the season of goodwill?” Tough luck mate, it’s still Advent.

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

My supervisor gave me a Dairy Milk Biscoff advent calendar. I get on the bus this evening, just wanting a quiet life.
Woman on bus to her friend, full volume, just as I’m sitting down:
”’E LIKES CHOCOLATE DUN’T ‘E, THAT FELLA ‘OO’S JUST SAT DOWN, ‘E’S GOT A BOX FULL OF IT THERE, LOOK.”
le sigh

We knew what woke meant just fine before y'all stole it. It had an established, agreed upon definition in common usage.
In the wholesale mass cultural appropriation of the AAVE term "woke," removing it from its Black context & never caring to ask Black folks what it means, it's made so white people on the left & right alike constantly try to define it. No one's supposed to know what it means, its meaning is hollow.

“Why can’t I blow up boats in international waters if I want to?”
For the same reason I can’t put a knitting needle in your eye for calling me the n-word. But if we’re opening these things up to interpretation, I know which of us is getting their wish first.

The thing about these "debate me" ppl is that I actually have debated them. when you present them with facts, the information bounces off
their head and back into your face quicker than an Andy Murray backhand return

They are doing so because they are being told their jobs depend on it and do it or be left behind.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
