wow the doctor who classic doctors magic the gathering set is *beautiful*. legit contender for the show's best merch ever (after the OG target runs and 'the collection' blu ray sets). the art is *insane*

my prediction/recommendation is a period of healthy national humiliation culminating in us meekly rejoining the euro. however the EU lets us put king charles on one side of the coins and notes so everyones happy

also think a labour rejoin campaign is prob a good way to rebuild in scotland. would expect another wipe out without it.

also think it is the most definitive way to break with this era of labour, who by 2029 i think will be profoundly discredited, without a corbyn reprise (which isnt possible given theyve all left, too old or have zero profile)

dont think any of this changes if reform wins, in fact it becomes more likely. they will absolutely flop, if they get in with those numbers. cannot govern.

increasingly think this is likely as basically the only way to draw a line under basically a decade of failed political projects from across the spectrum. maybe a spot of national humiliation and acceptance of the euro will be psychologically beneficial

i wonder what the most optimistic scenario is for the next few years politically. i think good chance whoever replaces starmer as labour leader before or after the GE basically runs on a 'rejoin' ticket.

maybe this is complacent but I think a reform majority would just result in splits and infighting. i think they'd do damage but i just dont see them getting as coordinated as trump has managed to. not saying what comes next would be any good. but i just dont see it

kurt and rachel, along with adam lambert and demi lovato, form a band in season 5 of glee called 'pamela lansbury', intended to fuse the sex appeal of pamela anderson with the class and sophistication of angela lansbury (possibly the other way around actually). Really bad tv actually

Given the problem is prevalent across all of society, through all age groups, I think it would make more sense to target how social media actually works for everyone - namely algorithmic feeds and who controls them - rather than targeted user bans like this

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian
