Missed this at the time. I swear these maniacs are only keeping us all alive at this point so there’s a bigger pool of organs that can be transplanted into them to keep them alive and in power indefinitely.

(During an exchange in Tiananmen Square) Putin's interpreter could be heard saying in Chinese:
"Biotechnology is continuously developing."
After a brief inaudible passage, the interpreter added: "Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and [you can] even achieve immortality."
Xi, who was off camera, could be heard responding in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century humans may live to 150 years
Old"

Putin confirmed later to reporters he had discussed prospects for significantly increasing human life expectancy with Xi.
Both leaders have shown little intention of relinquishing power in their lifetimes. In 2018, Xi abolished presidential term limits, paving the way for him to rule indefinitely.
Putin has also changed Russian law to allow him to remain in high office.

People freaking out over the Chat-fishing dating-app article seem to miss that this is the *whole point* of ChatGPT and similar generative AI: writing as though you’re something other than you are. The whole idea is deception. Writing like a pro, like a lawyer etc, when you’re too lazy to be one.

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

No asthma exemptions applying here in Twickenham. Got the flu jab though. Makes no sense.

Bit of a Ted Hughes moment earlier while out doing the recycling. A dead fox lying very neatly under a bush. Almost like it had been placed there. No obvious signs of injury. A beautiful little animal, but disturbing and strange at the same time.

#totp The You Can Call Me Al video is annoying to me now as Paul Simon didn’t play ANY of those instruments on the track. Great black musicians sidelined in favour of two wacky white guys. I mean yeah we all know Paul did help develop “world music” but why not include them in the vid?

As long as it’s made from 100% pears it’s fine.

Zack Polanski used the ‘F’ word twice on BBCQT last night… and the audience applauded him for it 👇
