Just got my first accusation of being AI. Apparently Man McManson wants to disinfect his laptop after reading my email. I'm not sure how I feel about this πŸ€–

My partner just started talking to me like I don't know what The Butlerian Jihad is and I have never been so outraged IN MY LIFE.

Just read I Who Have Never Known Men and Annie Bot back-to-back and I can barely breathe jfc. I think I need to lie in a dark room and have my hair stroked (but not by a man)

It's true. Absolute madness the hoops I've just had to jump through to maybe get a few quid a week.

Finally finished youngest kid's DLA form. It's taken 200 pages and two printer cartridges. I feel like this is as good an argument for universal basic income as any.

Oh hey so if you're celebrating the supreme court decision and also horrified at what's happening in the US then have I got bad news for you
