One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Hard to for me to believe in free trade with the US if there are no cultural protections and we can't tax foreign digital services let alone regulate them.

This is always the plan — they know the slop is slop so they will hire the original humans back at a cut rate to be slop wranglers, which involves more work and worse outcomes.
If they want to keep getting work, they can review (=rewrite) the AI slop, for 1/3 of their normal rate (which was already low to begin with)

Readers, we HAVE to complain about it, hold the publishers accountable and boycott these books

Invasive quagga mussels are killing off lake ecosystems in the US and Europe, and are now in Northern Ireland.

Yet every time invasives are mentioned, someone says "But it's all just nature."

They're *wrong*: invasive species are one of the worst HUMAN impacts.
