Here's an idea. Instead of military service we send Reform and Maga voters off to help the Red Cross with migrants and refugees escaping war zones!

Perhaps then they might not be so quick to vote for war mongers.

Is it just me or is there something utterly grotesque about the British right wing press relishing this war....as though this is all just a huge compter game where the men, woman and child civilians who are blown into several pieces are of only periphery consequence?

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

This is getting flagged as a spam account by @moderation.bsky.app probably by homophobes!

Also homophobic does not get suggested by my predictive text app!

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Yeah I hate that phrasing! What else is it? Just making it palatable to the media and their citizens! Iran has its own massive problems and 95% don't care about the USA... Until now.

City have been paying highest wages recently because they win things and pay bonuses for that. Last year's wages will be less due to winning nothing! Liverpool spent more last year... Because they won the league. If Arsenal actually win something they will spend more.

Probably the worst time to get any new laptop. Ram prices have pushed even basic laptops to daft prices. May be worth checking out some local Facebook Marketplace ones who haven't cottoned onto the silly prices.

I think they should just use Championship Refs when no VAR is in use. Can't flip flop between VAR and No VAR without seeing this kind of mess.

Well there are around 700k of under 1s in the UK so technically could be correct.....

@elonmusk
For those unaware, Space has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.”

Similar thing happening in PC tech. Pivoting to data centres, pushing consumer hardware prices up so no one can afford the pcs to run the AI stuff. So who will be paying?? It's going to implode very soon.

Played the main story through and it never really grabbed me. Don't feel any desire to go back. Though never really got into the films either. So probably not a surprise.
