Honestly, the great thing about AI is it’s going to free up so much spare time for us to be misinformed and out of work.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

I forgot how, whenever I draw a cartoon about Russia, I get a quietly condescending riddle of an email with helpful links to correct my ignorance, from somebody who addresses me with informal familiarity but doesn’t give their name.

Caught up with Southpark last night, the latest season, first time I’ve watched it in years. It’s practically a documentary now.

Exclusive: Dulwich college contemporaries ‘rubbish’ Reform UK leader’s suggestion alleged racist taunts not intended to hurt

Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui
Three more school contemporaries who claim to have witnessed Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage racism have rejected the Reform UK leader’s suggestion that it was “banter”, describing it as targeted, persistent and nasty.
One former pupil, Stefan Benarroch, claimed that people emerging from a Jewish assembly at Dulwich college had been in the sights of Farage and others for taunts while a second, Cyrus Oshidar, described as “rubbish” the claim that the Reform leader did not act with intent to hurt.

Shout out to all the kids who couldn’t wait to finish school so they didn’t have to put up with dickheads like this. Fancy still being like this into adulthood.

While Pauline Hanson does obnoxious stunts, the Coalition is about to dredge up a migration 'policy' that will dog-whistle up the same racist undercurrents.
And rather than naming it for the socially divisive sludge it is, most mainstream media will pretend it's one 'side' of a 'debate'. #auspol

While banning the burqa might play with the Sky After Dark audience, it is miles from a broad concern among punters
Nearly 30 years after she first entered politics with a firebrand maiden speech about Asian immigration, Pauline Hanson remains a committed fringe dweller, with narrow political interests and bad instincts.
Suspended from the Senate on Tuesday, her decision to don a burqa in the chamber a day earlier badly disrupted proceedings and drew near universal condemnation. It is only the fifth time since 1901 that a seven-day suspension has been put in place, and the first time since 1979. Continue reading...

Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Someone has asked for a couple of Dismissal anniversary tea towels. I’m about to make an order. Does anyone else want one (they may be around $50 each if a run of 10)?
