Same kind of thing happened with That 70s Show. There was a British remake which used the same scripts, and it was awful. Really terrible.

It‘s the cast that made the original work. Just a shame that almost all of them turned out to be huge pieces of shit

I don’t think that is a unique position

I think it‘s weirder, TBH. He‘s a breeder and a misogynist. He wants to do the world a favour by spreading his superior genes as widely as possible so that the next generation is blessed with his amazing intelligence. And of course that has to happen via boy-childs, because girl-childs are inferior and only fit for breeding.

And his public transphobia started in earnest when his daughter came out. Because how dare she take a boy-child away from him and replace them with an icky girl?

I don‘t know what‘s going on inside his head. But my belief is that that‘s what it‘s really about.

That, and there‘s a more directly personal element. When his daughter filed to legally change her name she said that he was a neglectful father and that she no longer wanted to be associated with him. It was at this point that his anti-trans rhetoric took off. Bear in mind that he consented to her gender-affirming care when she was too young to not need a parent‘s permission. He claims he was „tricked“ but she says that he understood fully what he was consenting to. Again, I can‘t know the truth, but I have a million reasons to consider Musk a liar and none to consider her one.

I think he genuinely hates trans people, but I think that he wouldn‘t have had he not had a trans daughter who bruised his fragile ego. And I think that his breeding kink, scientific racism, narcissism, and misogyny feed in to it nicely.

Again, I don‘t know what‘s going on inside his head, but I am strongly of the opinion that had his daughter never a) transitioned or b) brused his ego, he would not be anti-trans in the way that he is now. He‘d probably still be anti-trans because that‘s one of the key right-wing lines of attack, but I don‘t think it would be a particularly big issue for him.

I was brought in as a contractor for a week at a private school once here in the UK. The food was okay but on the nicer/posher end of „nothing special“. But what did strike me was that between two periods one of the girls felt peckish so just wandered in to the kitchen and made herself cheese on toast. Nobody treated that like it was anything unusual.

Thank you

I have 0% of an idea whether this film will be good or not. I have 100% certainty that I will watch it.

This is also why you‘ll see/hear the verb „unalive“ and have people refer to „seggs“.

Yes, I agree. I‘ve long said that Greene (and Boebert) are what you get when someone who actually believes this shit gets into power.

I don‘t follow this stuff closely enough to know how this article fits into her history, but the Epstein stuff is completely consistent. And, while I don‘t agree with 99% of her principles, it actually shows her to be more principled than most of Trump‘s followers, who were fully against paedophilia when Pizzagate was a thing, but who now seem to think that it‘s no big deal and that every man would fuck a pre-teen if given the opportunity to do so.

I mean, it‘d be a little weird if they were still born in the 60s, had kids in their teens/20s, and those kids were still kids in 2025. I don‘t really know what anybody complaining is expecting.

The channel‘s called Some More News

The issue there is that even at that pricepoint, Microsoft is still operating CoPilot at a loss. If they drop it more, they’ll be making even more of a loss. Which is the standard business model for new products these days, but the losses on AI products dwarf things like Netflix and Uber during their “operate at a loss to drive everybody else out of business” phase.

Of course, that would all be fine if CoPilot was some killer product that people quickly found themselves unable to work without. Instead, the feedback shows that workers find that it’s not useful or reliable enough to be worth using, and Microsoft’s own latest advert for CoPilot in Excel contains data which shows that at best operation it doesn’t work 46% of the time, and that figure can be as high as 80%.

I’m not sure these problems are really surmountable - you’ve got an incredibly expensive-to-run product which doesn’t do much that’s useful and is bad at the things that it actually could be useful for. It’s not just Microsoft, it’s the entire tech industry that’s facing this problem.

The Stanford Prison Experiment was a sham.

The broader point, though, is that the scenario of The Lord of the Flies has actually happened. We’ve had a small group of kids trapped on an island for an extended period of time and what happened is that they built a peaceful and harmonious society, which included spending time and resources caring for one of their number who broke their leg.
