@PoliticsJOE_UK Jobs that would have been for kids making a start are now being filled up by loser adults who make it their ‘careers’ somehow. It’s actually really sad. My first job was a Saturday boy in a Debenhams selling shoes it was naff but taught me loads. Really feel for the young
@AngelaRayner Stop talking about free stuff and make choices that will force people to think differently about their poor choices in life and reward the people who are actually working hard. When you nail that I’ll listen until then you’re not my party ever. Tired of propping up the lazy.
@LovellPropguru I think that reinforces the issue. If they didn’t fully understand what they were committing to, that’s a problem when you’re setting national policy. The messaging during the campaign was clear enough that many people took it at face value. That’s what people voted on.
@LovellPropguru Labour chose to frame it as “ending leasehold” during the campaign. That wasn’t campaigners misrepresenting it, that was a political decision. If the reality was more complex, they should have said so at the time.
@IANdrewDiceClay I remember these guys they all turned up to Uprising III at Coventry. I’m pretty certain the guy in the Mac on the left gave me a business card that was either Money Mark or Money Mike as the name. Good lads. Jimmy Hart is obviously Jimmy Hart. Class.
Remember the freakout when a supercomputer beat the best chess player in the world and everyone declared the game over, and then everyone forgot about it (and chess-playing computers) and chess became more popular than ever and a hit Netflix show?
Man vs. machine is fleetingly interesting but machine vs. machine is boring and pointless: nobody cares about interacting machines because there’s no human soul in the mix with emotions and moral agency. It’s just slop squared.
The only machine chatter anyone will care about (and then only indirectly) will be that between agents booking your flights, buying your groceries, etc. And it’ll be about as interesting as TCP/IP to most people.
AI actually puts the focus on the human more, not less.
Using Claude Code for the first time. I'm a complete novice, used to code HTML for fun in 99/00.
This is unbelievable, its like someone just put magic into my computer.
THIS - When these sh'ithouse MPs are talking about homes, they're talking about Drywalled tiny boxes, stacked high, most of them now-a-days build to rent so you can't even own them...
We're being completely sold down the river.
Lady in blue, "And homes. Let's be honest. Most of the time we're talking about flats"
"We're not talking about houses where people can grow into"
"I see families in these tiny little flats who feel so happy they own their own home but they haven't got room to enjoy their home"
"Are we actually going to build houses for people to live in and enjoy. Are they going to be affordable?"
@MHmattharrison The best route out of this is to dip into a trust fund or find someone in your family with some influence......Its been done to great success over the years. ;)
Fantastic production of The Pitchfork Disney on @KingsHeadThtr right now. One of my fave plays by my fave writer. Company nailed it. Well worth 90mins of your time.
