There needs to be a ban on "You've left an item in your basket" to unverified email accounts. How can they be considered transactional if you don't know it's my basket?

I did not see THAT coming. Stephen Toast as Oscar announcer. "Now, Lady Ga-GAAAH!"
I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Burning the planet with ai bullshit to sell ad space reporting a building on fire. Just stop it.
I'm vaguely optimistic that this might actually be the kind of thing that turns the maga crowd against him
We really need to work on being more rude and dismissive to sociopaths. Not enabling them. Thinking they’ve got a point.
“No. You don’t fit in. You’re awful to us. We shun you.”
Basic primate stuff. Send them out of the little fire circle, so they can go and cuddle their money in the woods.
Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.
Film Diary
Train Dreams, 2025 - ★★★★
Such a beautiful film, so strange that even with the Oscar nomination hardly anybody seems to be talking about it.

Seriously Meta, could you just take a few weeks off from all the AI bullshit and fix some of the many many bugs in all of your products. The collective waste of time you're causing just for me as an individual is staggering.
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
History lesson.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.
This should be a bright, blinking light catching everyone’s attention.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to run out of wine. Although the reason I've ran out of wine is because it was the week it was.
Keep it light, eh, Yorkshire Live?
Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets (!), so Trump's response is to ease the Russian oil sanctions. This guy is NO PATRIOT. #PutinsPuppet
The Pokémon Company has released a statement objecting the use of a Pokémon Pokopia meme by the Trump administration. https://bit.ly/47fDSdm
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
I know there's a lot wrong with the BBC but it makes my soul sink at the thought of it not being there and things like Small Prophets only being on Netflix, which costs more than the license fee anyway.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost

ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect
Reporter: “President Trump, any words about the six Americans that have been killed?"
Trump:
I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.
This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.
This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.
Every week when I try to watch The Daily Show (aside - weird how it's only on Mondays now) I can't get over how terrible YouTube is for watching anything other than short videos #enshitification
Starting to understand why some people need AI to help them get through the day.
