I know we're past 'But Jeremy!'s, but I don't think it should go unrecorded that Laura Kuenssberg has a face she keeps for someone who doesn't like Trident, and one she saves for friends of the biggest paedophile of all time, one that reminisces about their holidays with the phrase "Yum yum"

I like the bit at the end of Lord of the Flies where the British officer finds the boys on the island and is like "you all have turned savage, what an absolute disgrace you all are" and then he looks at his warship and the last line is him going "AWWWWWKWAAARRRRD..." So funny.

"Not only does my homosexuality work like a Holtzman shield but for paedos, I was also distracted by the all-you-can-eat buffet on what I'm told was a paedo island. Particularly the vol-au-vents."

My therapist, a specialist in treating autistic and ADHD people, uses horses as a regular part of her therapy (not with me but with other patients). It's a proper thing.
Third time in not much more than a week for the "falconry, ski-ing & horses" anonymous brief on SEND. What's worse: the Westminster insiders who put this toxic, nasty crap about or the journalists who blithely repeat it? PS ask an OT professional about autism, dyspraxia, core stability & horses

This has to be true. It won't just be one fact in the world, but THE fact: it will entail so many other facts, including about our humanity.
The ability to offer precis to teams meetings, or add swastika bikinis to photos of children, will be seen as trivialities raised to the level of monstrosity.
I still fully expect to meet real artificial intelligence in my lifetime and experience the appropriate level of wonder at encountering a new life form, and that excitement is too pure to cheaply throw away on finding something as wasteful and misapplied as LLMs at all impressive.

You might apply a 'benefit of the doubt' defence to Google, up until the point you remembered the last time you met a corporate man with managerial power, complacent in his belief that sexual intimidation was superb banter and the best way of calibrating status.

Victoria Woodall claims she was retaliated against after reporting a manager who told clients stories about his swinger lifestyle.

Lord Mandelson refuses to apologise for continuing his association with "best pal" Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein had been convicted in 2008 (Mandelson stayed at Epsteins lavish Manhattan townhouse in 2009 & they remained in contact as late as 2015) #BBCLauraK

ever notice that when the Noted Personas go off the rails, you inevitably get ALL their psychosexual crap right out there in the spillage?

I mean, Graham Linehan...

and of course, "Daddy's home."

I mean.
That actually kind of sounds like your fantasy, Naomi.

If we're doing Isaiah, I'd've thought the stuff about disgusting offerings and worthless assemblies would be a better fit. Not that it's my area, tbh.
Newsom's already calling for a joining of hands with the Nazis and let atrocities be bygones.

Bless you Caitlin, but you're a journalist working in a media environment that hoovers up news, opinion, colour and is *always* thirsty: taught you more than expected? Did it fuck.

Like one of those MC Escher prints,where you see a landscape from two different angles, except it's a paedophile's mate from two different viewpoints of acceptability.

I was wondering what seemed vaguely off about Michael Rapaport's face and the way it moves (and I'm certainly not saying he's an ugly fella) but it struck me that it's the face you see in Bill Plympton cartoons, the second before it starts wrapping around itself, or the MTV logo tries to escape.
You don't need to know anything about this bloke to know some raging unpleasantness when you encounter it

little tip I'm passing on learnt from being alive for many years. if someone smiles and says, "good morning" to you in passing, this is your prompt to do the same. don't grimace and look away and remain silent, you're not Clint Eastwood bitch. have a tiny bit of social glue, as a treat.

Every autistic person has been screaming this stuff for decades while genocidal shitheads have been saying we need to be eradicated.
No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

That Maggie Chascarillo is ageing alongside the rest of us is one of the most unexpectedly moving and raw things in my life.

I shall be super generous and say that the Guardian is converging to a view of what the Starmer Government stands for that was obvious even before the election victory. A slow convergence, incrementing year by year. But nevertheless: a convergence.
