I only recently learned that a single healthy hen could produce over 200 eggs a year and this seems A LOT
Figures shared exclusively with Channel 4 News also show 16 percent of pornography users say they’ve made their own explicit content using AI.

NEW: The Onion says it has struck a deal to take over Infowars. That deal still must be approved by a judge. This news was first reported by @pablo.show. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
Ok here’s the letter containing excerpts from FCDO as well as other factors from time:

Bots to blame for fake social media criticisms of London Andy Silvester London Editor Extreme right-wing and Russian-aligned groups are using artificial intelligence, bots and content farms in Nigeria and Sri Lanka to drive social media narratives that London is in decline, research published by City Hall shows. Analysis of two years' worth of posts about London revealed "clear signs of co-ordinated and inauthentic activity" to "produce and amplify misleading, emotive or unverified claims." Sir Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, said that the research revealed social media companies were profiting from an "outrage economy" driven by a "dark blizzard of disinformation". Since the pandemic there has been a noticeable rise in anti-London content on social media, much of it focused on crime, which tourism and hospitality leaders have warned is doing serious damage to the city's reputation. According to the analysis, London- related posting online has risen by about 7 percent since March 2024, while "London in decline" narratives increased by 150-200 percent over the same period. Migration-related narratives referencing London increased by more than 350 percent. The research claims that extreme right-wing networks, as well as pro-Kremlin, pro-Beijing and Maga-aligned groups are behind a substantial amount of the anti-London content. Though some crimes remain far more prevalent now than has been the case previously — particularly phone-snatching - the violent crime rate in London is at its lowest in decades. London's murder rate is lower than almost any other major global city. Declinist London narratives are not limited to automated accounts. Both President Trump and Nigel Farage have criticised crime in London, and Khan specifically, in recent months. Oxford Street can become a thing of beauty, leading article, page 27

Similarly you are screaming pro Trump accounts with obvious AI avatars and memes in their photos on instagram. Social media is just a mess now
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

I am duty bound to do the poached eggs in this house because ONE TIME I figured out how to get a 95% perfect poached egg
Soft AND real expensive which is the best of both worlds if you’re an opponent
It’s meant to be scale I think. AI image generation does this sometimes
Commvault ai advert from LinkedIn saying “if it can’t meet AI sacale it’s not real resilience
Trying to work out if this was a deliberate error or the worst marketing for AI I’ve seen so far?
I dimly remember this was case back then tbf
Vetting exists for a reason & whilst I appreciate the angle here was “someone who can work with Trump” it seems deeply problematic to ignore your vetting advice to achieve this.
Why do we keep getting flavours of Johnson now?
China knows it can buy influence through investment & mutual growth. The army is intended for local force projection to protect its expansionist ambitions, not overseas garrisons
Once again you can always build a robot to achieve a specific linear task. It can be expensive; but always possible
Also “wants large reduction in legal migration” as that wasn’t on the cards it’s always small boats
The PC DOS version of 'Allo 'Allo! Computer Fun! may have been released, but no copy had ever surfaced. Until now. Preserved from original master disks for the first time from Games That Weren't:

Living space is a fair pursuit & I am fascinated to note china has looked at Africa & seen that there would be the next hegemony unless china buys it first of all.
Certainly china has tried hard to mesh itself into Canada for example, putting large stakes into a wide array of sectors.
