My Writing. My words.

How is all that "free healthcare" going there Brits?

I wasn’t around then thankfully, strange comments before the first episode was even aired (filmed even). I’m sure everyone had their own idea of Jamie and expected the casting to be based on that. Nothing changes.

I hate that whenever I complain about scam callers people are always like "just don't pick up!" BROTHER I DON'T PICK UP! YOU JUST WATCHED ME GO "ugh spam" AND HANG UP. It's still such an annoyance, and I can't just like, ignore phone calls because sometimes it's my wife calling about the children, or doctors offices or or or. Not answering doesn't make it not a problem omg.

If solicitors, salesmen, senators, scammers, and strangers were constantly knocking on one’s front door at all hours of the day and night, “just don’t open the door!” would come across as blithely stupid and unhelpful advice. In the digital age, a phone is as much a portal into your life as your home’s front door, and an unwanted invasion of either can be just as obnoxious, costly, or even deadly. The fact that we are 150 years removed from Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call and yet today’s carriers still refuse to clamp down on the rampant abuse of their services is a scandal. “Just don’t pick up” exculpates the scammers and the complicit carriers who refuse to solve a solvable problem.

they're so desperate because the thing AI is best at is losing money. OpenAI lost 38.5 BILLION dollars in the year 2025. (Ed Zitron reported it here, also verified by the financial times.) this is the type of shit you see right before bubbles pop.
