![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Can I get a gaming laptop that doesn't look ridiculous? What if someone made one that looked *normal* without a bunch of stupid lights, or a keyboard that lights up in ways everyone will try to disable, or a useless fan control app that actually just makes the thing run hotter? Please?

Low-hanging fruit these days, but I didn't fully appreciate 1984 when I first read it when I was maybe 16, but I have re-read it a couple of times, and I've been seeing the signs everywhere ever since.
Brave New World, too.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I was running late getting ready for work last week and didn't have time to make a sandwich for lunch, so I DoorDash'd a burrito instead. I guess that means the economy is booming? Weird.
They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I hope we can all live our lives with the same naivete and optimism that Tim Kaine does when he thinks any deal with Republicans, let alone this president, is worth a goddamn thing.

Senate Dems are a bunch of spineless bags of Jello, and they just caved for absolutely nothing. The first time you had their backs to the wall, you threw them a rope. It's hard to articulate how absolutely stupid and dangerous captitulation to these evil fucks is, and you don't even care.

I think I just beat Expedition 33, but holy shit, that was pretty unsatisfying. I mean, the epilogue was great and made perfect sense, but WTF there's like half the map that I either haven't explored, or has one-shot-killed my party. This game is too good to be over. GIVE ME MORE GAME.
