Knock knock

Who’s there?

Lettuce

Lettuce who?

Lettuce in and you’ll find out!

Why didn’t the skeleton go to the dance?

Because it didn’t have any body to go with

Unfortunately, our local council doesn’t allow having roosters because of the crowing. Hens only.

Been trying for 6 years. Not desperately, but it would be nice. Thinking about getting chickens.

Did anyone watch Liquid Television?

For the drum machine, definitely! But we largely kept to our tempo or maybe double. It was a free gig and we were getting paid in beers. I think it was pretty funny for the audience too. Great night.

I used to sing in a post punk band. We had a drum machine. In the middle of one gig, the drum machine spazzed out and deleted all the internal memory, and started a 600bpm bossa nova loop. We played right through to the end.

American Pie

Ignorance is strength

For me, it’s because AI is referring to a LLM, which is not AI. Also, these LLMs use a crap load of energy to do things that we can currently do ourselves for much less energy.

But actual AI? Yes, please!

Well, from where you’re standing, everyone’s a leftie.

Do you know where your local terrorist cell is hiding? Surely the Mossad can figure all that out without murdering civilians?

Also, pretty ironic of you to lump left wing nut jobs together as one group…

PhD in Quackery

If that’s the case, then people with the new brains should have their sex organs harvested.

The US election system is set up for the rich and powerful to stay in charge. It’s ridiculous that there’s effectively only two parties, and it’s ridiculous that a single person, the president, holds so much power. No accountability. Their system needs an entire overhaul, IMO:

Compulsory voting Ease of access for voting Preferential voting Lower bar for running, meaning every citizen has the opportunity to run

To those who feel saddened by this, always remember that you can be your own best friend. Treat yourself.

Hmmmm. And Shintoism?

Edit: I’m being cheeky. Looks like religion turns itself into tribalism when a certain population point is reached.

Buddhism is pretty alright though, isn’t it?

Authoritarianism != Communism

Communism is about the power of the working class, seizing the means of production, and self governance. No government has effectively put into practice communist practices because the concept of government itself is contrary to communism.

There’s been a decades long movement in the US to demonise communism (and socialism) in favour of capitalism. There used to be overtly communist political groups in America.

Anyway, it’s an interesting read. I highly recommend you read up about communism and what it stands for. Also capitalism because we’re all more or less living in a crony capitalist world.

Are you okay?

And who will decide what is good and bad behaviour? Hmm? And what advantage will society as a whole get from this?
