once again for those in the back.
"Don't make me tap the sign," says a bus driver from The Simpsons. underneath the sign in question reads: "america" (in quote marks) is two continents and several archipelagos.

seems like there's a lot more scammers and chancers on Discord nowadays, on the verge of closing my DMs down.

to be honest also "the friend of my enemy is my enemy" is also on shaky ground, as well as "the friend of my friend is my friend". maybe actually all iterations of this phrase.

"the enemy of my enemy is my friend" probably shouldn't form the basis of international diplomacy anymore.

i also love the idea that some warlock schmuck summons their patron and somebody else shows up. "sorry love, we bought your debt last month, so any future agreements are with us. don't get too comfy though..."

i mean, if i were a demon, i would definitely buy and sell debt like this. there are no unforeseen negative consequences of owning huge amounts of debt, i feel sure of it.

presumably supernatural patrons are able to pass on their charges and their debts to others, right? in case they die or are unable to continue their work. a contingency.

so they probably buy and sell debt, right? there must be a market in patron debt like there is for every other kind of debt.

of course let's pair the PM calling pro-Palestinian marches "unbritish" with a wannabe PM saying he spent 90mins in a place without seeing a single white face (derogatory).

We've been given access to the full Microsoft Co-pilot and against all my preferences, I'm using it because (a) it might be inevitable, and (b) if it's crap, I want to be able to show people.

I had a 5 x 5 Impact/Likelihood risk grid. I asked Copilot to turn it into a colour coded chart for me.

"unbritish" is such a gross, insidious term in particular because you can just stick it to anyone for anything.

don't like a protest action? Unbritish! feel a bit sketchy about a political opponent? Unbritish! not happy with the election result? Unbritish! don't like a kind of person? Unbritish!

told my kiddo this morning to be very cautious and skeptical when people start using words like "unbritish," because it's a word at the top of a very slippery slope with another word ("fascism") at the bottom.
