At the airport and bought a bottle of water at a self-checkout market where there were no human beings present. The computer screen asked if I would like to ‘add a tip’ and suggested 20%.
I wonder what the computer spends all its tips on.
Lazy bastard didn’t get any from me.
Genetically Modified Ketchup: Heinz Ketchup just got the “Contains Bioengineered Food Ingredients” label.
Your family’s trusted BBQ and burger staple is now officially Frankenstein food.
That’s mostly GMO high fructose corn syrup (92%+ of U.S. corn is bioengineered) + sugars from bioengineered sugarcane and sugar beets that spike blood sugar, fuel inflammation, and mess with hormones & gut health.
Plus a non-disclosed secret proprietary blend of 'natural flavors' that is kept from public knowledge.
You thought you were just squeezing tomatoes… but you’re feeding your kids ultra-processed junk while the brand keeps the same nostalgic red bottle.
Ditch it. Make your own in 5 minutes.
Quick Homemade Ketchup (no HFCS, no GMOs):
• 1 small jar (6 oz) tomato paste
• ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2–3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp mustard powder
• Pinch black pepper + optional cayenne
Mix until smooth. Stores in fridge for weeks and tastes way better.
Throw out the Heinz. Make homemade instead.
Wool grows back every year on grass and rain. It warms you better than plastic and feeds the soil when it wears out. We let the trade collapse anyway.
Here is how anyone, anywhere, can help bring it back.
- Read the label. Most "fleece" is plastic. Choose real wool.
- Buy your bed back from oil. Wool duvets breathe, resist fire, and outlast synthetics by decades.
- Put wool underfoot. A wool carpet lasts a generation. Nylon sheds microplastic with every step.
- Insulate with it. Sheep's wool beats foam, and foam is just oil.
- Buy close to the animal. Straight from farms keeps the money with the shearer.
- Compost the old stuff. A wool jumper rots back into the ground. Polyester outlives your grandchildren.
- Back it where the big orders are. Hotels, uniforms, fire rules. They could all specify wool tomorrow.
- Learn the craft. Knit, weave, felt. Every stitch is a vote.
This belongs to no one country. Merino off an Australian ewe, Rambouillet from the American west, Shetland, Harris Tweed. Half the world's wool sits unloved while we dress in oil.
None of this needs a hashtag. Just ordinary choices, made on purpose.
The sheep have done their part for ten thousand years. The rest is us, reading the label.
That same mosque, on the night of the Clutha Vaults helicopter tragedy, opened its doors and gave shelter, food, water and medical attention to the survivors.
They're the real Glasgow, not this rabble of racist thugs.
Part of the reason so many shout 'but you're not a colony' is that so many were educated by the coloniser to believe 'colonies' were some sort of complex anachronism that happened to other people historically.
It happened here.
Scotland IS a colony 🏴
Notice how naked fascism is called ‘protests’ by the media class, whilst marches against fascism are called ‘hate marches’.
Sides have already been chosen!!!
They tell us to turn off taps, switch off hosepipes, drink from bottles with tethered caps, turn the lights off and tell us to eat less red meat…but at the same time, allow huge AI data centres that deplete our natural resources. We are being conned by our own governments.
You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.
You thought it was you. It is not you.
Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.
Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.
The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.
Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.
What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.
Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.
They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.
The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment."
The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.
This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.
The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.
Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

Meanwhile, Ratcliffe wants to spend up to £2 Billion on a new Man U stadium.
While getting a £600M loan guarantee to set up a new plant in Antwerp..inside the EU..He,s also an ardent Brexiter.

Zack Polanski criticised the police for being heavy handed with a RT and he got a formal rebuke from the police and got grilled by the media.
Farage incites riots and condemns the police causing them of murder and nothing.
Two tier media more like.
We're going to have to repeat a lot that many Jewish people don't support Israel's genocide.
Criticism of the Israeli Government and their war crimes has nothing to do with who is or isn't Jewish.
To conflate them like this is both harmful and antisemitic.
Scotland play Israel this week. Today Israeli authorities have abducted two members of the Palestine women's national team.
When will it be enough for the Scottish FA/UEFA/FIFA to take a stand?

This 600MW AI data centre is proposed on scenic farmland by the village of Auchtertool, between Kircaldy and Cowdenbeath in Fife.
The size of the data centre enormous and as you can see from the maps, it dwarfs the neighbouring village of Auchertool.
It has been calculated that this data centre will use the same amount of energy in a year than half of Scotland’s households, or 20% of Scotland’s total energy use. So the energy use of Achtertool data centre when built will use in a year the same energy as 1.34 million households – or 53% of Scottish households.
There will now be a period of three to four weeks consultation period when the public can comment or object to the planning application. Here’s the online link to leave a comment:

The President of the Oxford Union Arwa Elrayess is being smeared by the Daily Mail because she is evading Israel's ban on Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur speaking in the UK by letting them speak virtually
It has enraged Israel supporting, Free Speech hating people like the Daily Mail
