The US is hostage to a transnational crime syndicate. You are watching the slow motion crash it is producing. Patriotic Americans everywhere are loudly resisting or silently jamming up gears or just failing to point out their errors ahead of a blunder. The wheels *are* coming off. Don't give up.

Graph AI has to be voice to Pokemon.

Try stuffing the chicken with half a pound of Barratt Shrimps and Bananas. Top with crushed Prawn Cocktail crisps.

No reason, other than the forthcoming fess about some stupid arse on the Internet ruining your chicken.

Some things will be quicker than others, some things have higher priorities. Seeing EU leaders sing La Marseillaise at a French submarine facility to annouce a US-free shared nuclear weapons capability was sobering. However the US will also collapse from internal crime like post-Soviet Russia.

I wish Britain still elected leaders. The bulk of incumbent politicians like to follow polls and money. They are very much led.

That was also around the point at which Apple more strongly pivoted iTunes/Music to a digital store front because everybody said "fuck that" and found media players that didn't force U2 into their library. You can find hardcore U2 fans that haven't listened to it.

... used it to pump out disinformation that destabilized democracies, stole content to 'train' in what is essentially just compression in another name, and boosted talentless twats in dumping creatives and force feeding us meaningless slop. If your IT department does AI, sack them, you SaaSy thing.

An album release on compact disc: Green (1978) by Steve Hillage.

#nowplaying Another Green album. Every song votes Green apart from the ones in the second half which vote ley lines and UFOs.

I beleive at the point that they feel sufficiently disengaged enough to withstand the repercussions. Hence the sudden vogue in efforts around data sovereignty globally.

Industrial heartland. Think Cleveland.

It’s #5pmFriday & I’m prep’ing for a #IWD2026 Candlelight March to Remember Women Lost to Femicide. As a survivor who nearly became a stat, I march for those who can’t. The theme "Give to Gain" reminds us that progress requires investing in women’s safety. We deserve safety.🕯️

Sounds like a whole heap of data collection.

After a fashion yes - hodgepotch is a relatively contemporary British term for a mutton stew, still not uncommon in Scotland, it derives from the older 'hodge pot'. It is the root for the more commonly American 'hodgepodge'.

A new remastering and remix of this by Stephen Tayler came out a couple weeks ago. This isn't it. 😀

Hawkwind - Mirror of Illusion (1969)

"And the dream-world that you've found
Will one day drag you down
The mirror of illusion reflects the smile"

While its a more general rejection of the material world that still resonates, it's lyric also aligns to contemporary AI mesmerism well.

I think his idiotic Tesla roadster should lead all of Starlink on a pied piper orbital parade into Jupiter, Shoemaker-Levy 9 style.

The desire to claim sentience has a lot to do with reducing the value of sentience and degrading humanity to a computational parts bin.

The engagement algorithm adapts to the bewildered user. This speaks more to the mental state of the author than the function of the language model.

"Cyrano's atheism, his sense that the Bible was a gallimaufry"

A gallimaufry is a hodgepodge, and its etymology appears to be from the Middle French 'galimafrée', a stew of leftovers which like 'hodgepotch' and 'pot-pourri' lent themselves to a mishmash or jumble of assorted things.

If your policy is to defend the neoliberal nightmare at any cost, I can see how any form of change looks like "the same".

Reform offers a corporatist totalitarian nosedive that mirrors MAGA. Neoliberalism married to nihilism.

The Greens offer democracy unshackled from corporatism. People power.

How many high severity bugs were introduced during the same window as a result of using Claude to generate code?

It's where we are now. There are no laws for the rich. It'll get worse. At some point you have to think they'e overplayed their collective hands, but the number of elite 'thinkers' involved in a child sex abuse cabal suggests they're comfortable with armageddon as an out.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." [Kung Fu Monkey -- Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]" - John Rogers

I always thank my lucky stars that I discovered Lord of the Rings instead.

A British artist taking vintage synths to Vienna? It means something to me.

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER - Eins, Zwei, Drei | United Kingdom 🇬🇧 | Official Music Video | #Eurovision2026 YouTube video by Eurovision Song Contest

Tony Hancock's The Rebel, a bank of Radiophonic Workshop synths, an orange Mini Cooper driving down the Dr Who time tunnel - and a banging chorus in German. Our Eurovision entry works for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=niMK...

Lets go with that, since we haven't inventoried mini moons around other planets yet. 😉

Statistical sample size too small to indicate bot behavior IMO. It could be lesser evil applied to identified superpowers. If many people in the US consider that our past was once healthy and GOOD, then many are likely still mentally looking for a superpower with a white hat.

I participated on Usenet before The Great Renaming.
