It's beginning already.

OH NO SHE HAS TO CATCH TWO TRAINS TO GET TO WORK. EVERY DAY.

So for those City commuters you will need to catch 2 trains to get to and from your work EVERY DAY."

I would love to have the peaceful clarity of mind of those fuckers who stand waiting to board a train, who appear utterly surprised that someone is disembarking from it and needs to push past them.

Scoop: OpenAI has signed its first ever Australia government contract, quietly inking a deal with Treasury amid the ChatGPT-maker's charm offensive on policymakers.

He comes across to me as not being particularly bright.

* ex-cop (comes with the territory)
* got into a franchise (failed too, but just doing it is a bad sign)
* the bike-boy model bullshit and the caught-in-headlights photo of it.
