All the naysayers about crypto, the metaverse, NFTs, and AI were 100% on the money to call bullshit.

Hey, remember when we were all going to go to work in the metaverse wearing VR goggles? And how that certainly happened, and the haters were completely wrong? It's the future, don't be left behind!

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

The 18 year old recognises MacArthur Park as "that Jane McDonald song" rather than "that Donna Summer song" and this is simultaneously my greatest achievement and my greatest failure as a gay parent.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

But let's face it, the US ambassador to Canada has made a lot of idiotic "why dontcha love us no mo" statements so it's an easy mistake to make for any US media outlet too prestigious to stoop to fact checking facts
