I am not promoting this *nearly enough* thanks to the crushing workload of actually MAKING the book, but!

We’re making a romcom! If you like queer characters, relationship friction, and as much humour as we could cram in, maybe you should read the preview at the link, and possibly even preorder?

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

AI washing - Wikipedia

TIL:

β€˜AI washing is a deceptive marketing tactic that consists of promoting a product or a service by overstating the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and the integration of it.’

It also applies when AI is a fake excuse for layoffs, per Bloomberg.

TikTok seems to be purposefully preventing me from deleting my account, so I'm planning to post something so I get banned. Any thoughts or suggestions?

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

Still can't get over AI summarising YouTube comment sections now. I don't need you to be boiling water to tell me 'People think this trailer has good special effects' WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. I either read the comment for silly little quips from individuals or I don't look at all???

Exactly! The media has served to inflate the scale of Reform in the voter's mind. Just as they did with UKIP or the BNP, but refused to do with The Greens.

The reason we stopped pirating en masse is because they gave us cheap and convenient options to stream things.

With all the mergers and price increases...why on earth wouldn't they expect us to pirate again???
