There should be a law that all far right racists must learn how to spell English words before they can buy an England flag or make a placard, that’ll soon clean the streets up. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This dogshit AI "boom" is about the denial of death.
We had our time with Marilyn. It was beautiful and funny and achingly sad in the end, but WE HAD OUR TIME. We shouldn't be able to make Back to the Future 4, 5 and 6 at the push of a button because WE HAD OUR TIME.
Time to grow up.

In a shocking turn of events, they’re talking about immigration on the radio. A guy who arrived in the UK by small boat has been convicted of threatening Nigel Farage.

Meanwhile, can anyone tell me if there was any public furore over this?

Idea for motorcycling:
An overhead drone that scans ahead for hazards like cars approaching blind intersections, traffic holdups, debris. Simple warning sounds or HUD indicators so you can slow down, change lane, etc.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Simply telling a good fuckin story in an easy-to-read style is a superior skill to using a slew of impressive words nobody says in their everyday life.
