That’s the thing about Trump: he has no positive virtues at all. He isn’t hard working or dedicated, he isn’t fun or generous or decent. He isn’t kind to children and animals: he appears to despise most of his kids. Even when he’s funny - which he can be - it’s usually because he’s being cruel.

Re-upping for the people who quite sensibly stay off social media during the weekend: Watch as multiple "AI" fail a simple factual query!
Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all):

“AI”: A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine, or, Yet Another Reason Not to Trust It For Anything
I search my name on a regular basis, not only because I am an ego monster (although I try not to pretend that I’m not) but because it’s a good way for me to find reviews, end-of-the-yea…

Time and again, we are presented with the same tableau: a three-inch mouse effortlessly subdues a 40-pound cat, flattens him with an anvil, denounces him implicitly as a “bully, idiot, menace,” and dispatches him with both moral and literal finality.

Absolutely no version of Outback is from Australia! The Action Force (UK) version is from Stirling and (I think) moved to Australia when he was a kid?

UK versions are the best versions. Always weird to me that the US versions are all American, like Snow Job is from Perth and Scarlett is from Bruges, I don't know what to tell you

Reminder that JK Rowling sees any support of Harry Potter as an endorsement of her political beliefs, and she uses Harry Potter royalties to further her transphobic hate campaign. Your friends and family might not think you're a bigot for buying Harry Potter shit, but Rowling herself certainly will.
