The AO chatbot's not much cop either.
AO's chatbot can't answer a question on whether AO CEO John Roberts hates poor folk in themselves, or the expenditure that they represent.

Oh, and if you're buying electricals / white goods etc, give AO a swerve, eh?

www.theguardian.com/business/liv... - 9.30am
From The Guardian, 25 Nov 25: The boss of electricals retailer AO World has called on the Chancellor to focus on cutting welfare spending rather than hitting businesses with more taxes, and claimed that reported plans to scrap the two-child benefit cap are “madness”. AO World chief executive John Roberts argues it would be a mistake wrong to increase welfare spending while the nation’s public finances need repairing. He urged Rachel Reeves to look at measures within the government’s own spending to plug the public finances black hole and not hit businesses with more taxes. Roberts – who was paid £1.392m last year - told the PA news agency: “Business is a force for good in the economy. “It gets demonised in this government and all it’s seen as is a source of more and more tax that they can then blow on the welfare budget.” Roberts told PA the Cabinet “couldn’t run a bath let alone a business”. And despite Rachel Reeves’s criticism of the misogyny and mansplaining she has faced, Roberts argued the Labour party needed to “man up” and “make some difficult decisions” in Wednesday’s Budget.

As it's Sunday, a reminder that Satan is Real, from the Louvin Brothers in 1958.

LP cover of The Louvin Brothers' 1958 SATAN IS REAL. Image shows the brothers - Charlie and Ira - in white suits singing in front of a large simplistic plywood Satan while the fires of damnation burn all around.

Ernesto Díaz Espinoza's DIABLO is the real deal. Unpretentious but very effective south-of-the border DTV martial arts with decent performances from genre stalwarts Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror, an unwavering commitment to practical stunts and fightwork, plus clear, focused direction.

Not long now, Donald.
The ending of The Irishman. Frank Sheeran, elderly and abandoned, scared of being alone. And for what it's worth, a nod to The Godfather.
