Swiss immigration is legendarily shite, even worse than England
next time someone asks me this question I'm going to send them the link with the photos of the opening of a Primark store in Budapest
at least they don't ask you "what's it like over there", the stupidest question to ask someone about their country ever
who do y'all think helped during harvest?
who do y'all think built Paks Nuclear Power station?
people think im being hyperbolic but i guarantee you that almost any military training you may undergo when conscripted would be infinitely more fun than working on a farm
Look, at the end of the day we all like what we like and that's fine
But I kinda find troubling especially now that 'Star City', the Soviet-set spin off is starting
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you courtnewsuk.co.uk/fraud-at-the...
I'm sorry, if the Soviet Union survives into the 2000s, why is there Роскосмос?
Shout at me on my Substack

I’m Sorry, The Premise of ‘For All Mankind’ Doesn’t Make Sense
As Apple TV leans more on this alternative history series, announcing a Soviet-set spin-off, we need to talk about the fundamental problem with it: the premise as it stands right now does not work.

open.substack.comI think a lot of people need to pivot on Scarlett Johansson right now because she could potentially save us all
A great article. The creators of large language models don’t think they have to obey the rules of society, because they believe they’re creating a new society where they’ll be the rulers.

OpenAI Just Gave Away the Entire Game
The Scarlett Johansson debacle is a microcosm of AI’s raw deal: It’s happening, and you can’t stop it.
www.theatlantic.comwe *still* don't know how to earn money off the Internet, don't kid yourself
You want an actual 2 party country? Well, I can show you with a one-party system and it's an EU country but *literally no one mentions that* for some odd reason
AND they're quite fond of Bibi as well
this is just your garden variety "all politicians are corrupt" asinine nonsense
We all know how big fans the Israeli government is of the British Labour Party
here's my problem with this
This is a Kremlin talking point. "Everywhere is shit and corrupt" so you must accept the Putin's will.
and then they're going to destroy some other non-tech industry for no reason
tech bros are locusts
not until they sunk a couple of billion dollars of VC money into it then we move onto the next fad
how much longer until we get to the point where they will admit it's only vaguely kind of useful in some circumstances for genuine production, and basically just hyper-evil spam engines for everything else? the net harm is undeniably negative, yet the gutting and the looting continues. make it stop!
Beware: newspapers in the UK only turn "Lord Lucan" when they are in distress
It's generally a bad sign for a Tory PM running for re-election when the Daily Mail starts straight up pretending the election doesn't exist.
"Lord Lucan" is the British equivalent of the Soviet Union's broadcasting of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake

competing in deranged comments with twitter since
here's the thing: I feel like it took waaay too long to get to "Uber with guns", this feels like a story from around 2010 or something
The cool thing about Black Wolf, the Uber with armed drivers, is that Georgia regulators have told them to stop but they apparently just continue to operate anyway.

question time
a parade of bellends tonight on BBC
i dunno who any of these people are and now i will never have to find out
