it's going to be just in time for kids to be going back to school where it's totally normal for police to be present and used and duty of care is handed over to people with powers to trigger cps, disability and other laws. not ominous at all...

It's way worse. "The vote followed the death of SNP MSP Christina McKelvie, who had represented the constituency since 2011." Both Lab and SNP lost votes, Reform performed frighteningly well with the low turnout.

Yikes, I thought literary translation would be the safest (as a profession, not outcome) from being reduced to AI. The technical and boilerplate work dried up really fast years ago when businesses realised they could pitch lower cost "enhanced editing" and "proofreading" of machine translations

If you take away the incentive to train as a translator, and make it economically unsound to stay in the profession, people will move on. When, inevitably, MTPE causes chaos and possibly even consequences down the line, who do you turn to?

seen "post-editing machine translation" (the same thing) jobs for product safety notices, medical texts, pharmaceuticals, contracts, specs for public works, legal and public policy documents... all the while making earning a living wage from translation work more of a stretch

Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face, clean as the morning
I know things were bad, but now they're okay
Suddenly, [penis] is standing beside you
You don't need no [summer], don't have to pretend

if they don't point out in the article that the UK's egg industry safety scheme (Red Lion) estimates the UK consumes 10-14 billion eggs in a year making this something that should occur monthly... I'm concerned they're missing two thirds of egg-spheres/sphere-eggs

Another benefit is being deported because your British spouse falls ill/becomes pregnant/has a break in employment for any reason meaning even if you started able to prove you met the income requirements, suddenly you can't. Reapplying has to happen from the country of origin, though, so good luck

I live in a small rural retting and we have a well where we direct any actual change to settle into the groundwater. Bluesky feels awful familiar.

please rethink your stance on an indigenous population using their own language and process to express discontent after following a coloniser's procedures to take the places needed to be heard by their "peers"

Syril Karn breaks my immersion completely as it's heavily implied that he is an Imperial who fucks. It's long been established that imperials do not fuck (derogatory). Meeting a magical cyborg incel and the rare ace Quiverfull guy doing intergalactic fertility fraud, I think he'd finally defect

it gives them too much credit but if you told me a bunch of people lost their minds in esoteric ways, committed to consuming exotic materials to bring on changes in their bodies and brains, worshipped a baffling pantheon of horror-beings of boundless malevolence and chanted things like grindset...

I'm not saying Morgan McSweeney has a bet with someone in the office to see how many quotes from nazi sympathisers he can put in Starmer's speeches, but he did also manage to slip a sizeable segment of the 14 words into the PM's official social media posts from about a month ago
