I asked it for a stopwatch once and it drew one in ASCII art — these aren't buttons, nothing works, it's just a text response that resembles the app I wanted. Innovatively unhelpful

Gemini response that says: Here's a stopwatch that counts up: 00:00:00 To start the stopwatch, press the "Start" button. To pause the stopwatch, press the "Pause" button. To reset the stopwatch, press the "Reset" button. Start | Pause | Reset Note: This is a basic implementation of a stopwatch. For more advanced features, such as lap times or alarms, you may need to use a dedicated stopwatch app or device.

I was open-minded on this at first. I do believe in repentance, I think people can change, & I could see the logic of giving someone who was trying to do better a chance in local govt. But the evidence suggest that the abusive, persecutory mode of politics hasn't changed. He's just switched targets

I'll be honest: I'd buy this a lot more if his main outlet wasn't abusively attacking opposition politicians via AI slop in ways which obviously nod to other forms of prejudice.

Ex-PM Starmer said, in response to Raise the Colours terrorising people, ‘I am supporter of flags’, ‘I’m very encouraging of flags. I think they’re patriotic and I think they’re a great symbol of our nation’ and his family had ‘got St George’s flag in our flat’ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Raise the Colours Oxfordshire organiser Ben Cullen head-butted a highways worker after police were called to McDonalds in Benson where highways staff were attempting to remove flags from lamp posts; Highways staff now wear unbranded PPE, work in unbranded vehicles, wear face coverings to hide their identity, and do not travel alone for fear of attacks; Highways staff working on streetlight maintenance, not flag removal, have been spat on and abused by RTC supporters; Cullen and his partner Trudy Wells posted the office addresses and phone numbers of highways depots online, leading to comments suggesting “hanging council workers from those same lamp posts”; RTC Oxfordshire fixed trackers to the vehicles used by highways staff, then used this to find out their home addresses – which have been published online, and repeated to staff with threatening messages; Highways depots now have to remain locked at all times; A highways contractor’s sponsorship of a children’s football club is being rethought after concerns that children could be targeted.

The campaign of harassment and intimidation Raise the Colours have undertaken against council staff, contractors, and members of the public as reported by the Clarion today is shocking if not surprising. Excellent reporting. oxfordclarion.uk/the-clarion-...

I love how these fakes always say "Germany" or "Sweden" or "Japan" just invented something. Very cute child's eye view of the world. Feels quite 1960s.

Almost *everything* you see in this format, whether infinite power cubes or solar powered houses for the homeless that fold out of suitcases or French "bread libraries" for the poor is liberal catnip bullshit by content farms. Stop being idiots. Thank you.

a thing that came out about yoon's attempted coup in south korea is that he wanted to send special ops troops into parliament on no notice and they were like "are you fucking crazy" bc in real life special ops are meticulously rehearsed and they didn't even have access to building floorplans

Special operations don't mean going in all guns blazing. It means special planning, special care, fully briefed agents in possession of all possible alternatives. If you want james bond go to your library. But if you want a successful operation sit at your desk and think. And then think again
