The one place I could really use some Microsoft AI is at work and IT won’t let me have it. The one place i don’t want it is on my own laptop and it doesn’t seem like windows will let me get rid of it. First world problem. Still f’kin annoying.

Joe Biden complaining about billionaires, disinfo and unregulated social media in his ambling final address. All things that he failed to do ANYTHING about, so his legacy is essentially helping the return of Trump.

Let this be a lesson to Starmer, deal with these pricks or we’ll get the far right.

In my second #middleagedcrisis of the evening, I’m watching Star Trek tng and actually finding Riker vaguely hot. No irony. I think it’s the beard and the way he says ‘dammit’.

Breaking news: Keir Starmer has beaten up Elon Musk in a Tesco car park. A crowd waved England flags and cheered as Starmer mercilessly twatted two shades of shit out of that thick, lying, ketamine addled racist.
