Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code.

Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Grow a spine. Both sides of this hypothetical.

Not to lump me in with the bigots, but if you have to warn people that the place you're going to may involve people who say some off-piste comments or behave inappropriately then WHY ARE YOU GOING THERE ALSO?

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Incredible win here! Every step lutfur took was a shambles. He's a crook anyway.

[Save Our Safer Streets - Tower Hamlets @SaveBGstreets]

WE WON! 🎉

Court of Appeal has ruled that Tower Hamlets decision to remove Liveable Streets in Bethnal Green is UNLAWFUL

Councils can't just tear out schemes without Mayor of London's approval.

This is a MAJOR precedent for London boroughs.

I love my ethnic fusion slop that I have to stand and eat because there's no seating!!!

[Aidan James @mcandidate]

tell you what, someone should open a food hall featuring a range of street food vendors selling everything from burgers to tacos to Indian food, and everything should cost between £11 and £16

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Agreed.

[Fionn Viteža @fionnviteza]

Now this might strike some viewers as harsh but, I believe every mulleted & moustached gentrifier from Surrey involved in the writing of this atrocity, should die

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Broken clocks, twice a day etc, this is an excellent statement

[Christopher Bishop @cjsbishop]

Can we get away from the idea that ever escalating house prices are an economic panacea. The truth is the opposite. Our future prosperity does not lie in selling houses to each other based on artificially inflated gains juiced by planning restrictions.

Saga is probably my favourite run ever, and I fell off because the trades were so sporadic. Here's hoping that break isn't so long this time around

[shivers @flashivers]

This is fucking insane 😭😭

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

I watched this, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest on a long-haul a few years ago and I arrived at my destination as a peeled and skewered husk of a human.

[leyla 🍒 @mrswamsbsgans]

“your generosity conceals…” is iconic but “you’re petrified by your own fucking standards and your fear of failure” made me feel like i was being stabbed

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

The office is playing lofi spooky beats to relax/study to and I don't know how to feel

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

@abigail1963 Reads like someone pleading for that grapefruit special when gogh is pronounced properly

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Someone get @AJemaineClement on this immediately

In case you’ve never seen an eagle flying with a shark before.

My struggles are eternal (3 weeks torment)

[this happened to my buddy eric @flowrmeadow]

This time of year is very stressful for sensitive young men with too many light jackets. Very hard to squeeze them all into just 3 weeks of light jacket weather.

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Hahah fuck up, my greys are rad ty

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS. WHY WAS IT BURMA?

[Smith K. Stead @smithkstead]

did other countries have a “burma trail” night at school camp where the teachers would hide in the woods and send you into the pitch black holding a rope and try and scare you or was that just new zealand

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Can someone tell me why this Geese band is good?

All I hear is a jam band with some slightly interesting production, but incredibly grating, droney vocals. What am I missing that everyone else is getting?

[The Screen Rot Podcast @screenrotpod]

Q4 eve. Don't forget to leave a glass of Huel and a Zoe cookie out for Steven Bartlett tonight or you won't hit your KPIs 🚀📈💰

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Goddamn it im going to have to vote for this man aren't I

[Liam Vincent @liamvincent26]

I love this man

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

Same in NZ. Likely biggest purchase of your life and forced to make spur-moment decisions riddled with emotional bait tactics from agents. Auction thrives in scarce housing supply, is a factor in artificially bumping prices way higher where they should be.

[Brooks Otterlake @i_zzzzzz]

A couple of my friends in Australia are looking for a house and this is how I've learned that Australian home sales are carried out through a high pressure verbal auction that happens in the driveway of the house being sold

[Raj @Raj_Bakker]

@sporadica YAY FINALLY MY TIME
