DID YOU KNOW that the word "shenanigan" is thought to derive from the Irish "sionnachuighim", meaning "I play the fox" 🦊

Do you really want four years of the French pointing and laughing at you and going...hoh hee hoh hee hoh???

Do you REALLY want four years of us brits going "yeah we do eat baked beans on toast but at least our leader isn't a fascist cheeto wankjob, haha"? NO you DON'T.

there are many reasons we need to win in the fall, but one of them is that i simply am not going to abide by letting both the brits and the french lecture us

It drives me nuts when people say we need to make sure poor people have access to AI. The entire schtick is focused on providing AI slop to the masses while ensuring the elites get real human professionals. Having a human teacher or doctor or lawyer cannot become a bespoke luxury for the wealthy.

Also known as “training your replacement.” 😩

DOCTOR: You have a fatty liver. Do you know what that means? ME: Yes, you're saying it would make a scrumptious foie gras. DOCTOR: No. I mean yes, probably, but that's not the point.

Architectural prizes shouldn't be awarded till 10 years after buildings open - then ask folk who use, maintain & operate it how successful it is. I work in a shiny building that won prizes 10 yrs ago & it's a maintenance nightmare with no storage that costs fortune to run

I love potatoes. If you ignore other vegetables they become gross mush. If you ignore a potato it becomes a Creature. This is an approach I deeply respect

I think most consumer goods should have a government funded BASELINE version that's either free or absurdly cheap. Bicycle? Have a shitty 2-speed. Smartphone? Right this way we cut so many corners and its slow but now you have access to the smartphone economy. Bank account? Yes we do that too.

Something that's important to do now is WRITE TO YOUR MP. Particularly if they are new. Not a form letter or autogenerated one. An actual personal one. Not frothy. Just firm and clear. Ask them their views. When they respond, tell them how it aligns (or doesn't) to KEEP your vote.
