I live in Shoreham-by-Sea where the tragic drowning happened yesterday. Local social media has been dripping in ‘thoughts and prayers’. I’m just waiting for the sudden switch now it’s been revealed that the family were refugees. It’s horrible - really fucking horrible - but I know it will happen.
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
jk rowling threatens international human rights organistions and the nhs with slapp lawsuits and we still have to hear from cis ppl about how she just has opinions that we disagree with. it's not normal to be engaging in vexatious lawfare against human rights organisations and the nhs.

I wonder why the media didn't pursue THIS plagiarist so harshly? I can't qwhite put my finger on it 🤔
41 years ago, Carl Sagan gave a clear and elegant explanation of the science behind global warming.
A level results day in the UK. If your results aren’t great, don’t fret. It must be horrible seeing all the news stories about record passes if you didn’t do so well yourself. It really isn’t the end of the world though… 1/3
There is no safe amount of hate you can ingest. There's no 'lite' version you can incorporate into your respectability. It can't be bargained with. It's the scabrous tail that ultimately wags you.
We're gonna do it, aren't we? We're actually gonna do it. We're gonna let greedy rich cunts cook the planet and suck it dry of energy and water just so bots can send emails to other bots. Un-fucking-believable.
Never forget that LLMs don't give answers. They give you what an answer might look like. Very important difference. They do a reasonable job of this so often it will be correct. But it's never truly an answer of your question. Just a statistical guess at how an answer might look.
Can somebody teach the social media team(*) what a satellite is, please. (*) the article itself is fine - it’s just the image used to promote it.
