I decided to reset my Instagram Explore page. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about the AI videos. Then I saw a clip of Donald Trump fighting a camel in a boxing ring. It's fair to say the world has become a lot more ridiculous thanks to AI.

Nice to see progress being made in reducing the harmful effects of oil-based plastics by creating a biodegradable version. It's a shame they haven't solved all the kinks to make it financially viable. Still, it's a step in the right direction to a cleaner future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRYZ...

Signed. Considering the improvements in the reduction in pollution from the ULEZ in London, thereby improving the quality of health for those within it. I think this is understandable and worth signing.

My civic duty of completing jury service is over. It was an interesting experience, to say the least. I guess for a person who is a bit introverted like me, it can bring up mixed emotions as we get to see the underbelly of society in full view. I'm happy to have seen the UK justice system in action

😂

I'm not very happy about Open AI / ChatGPT copying Studio Ghibli's artistic style and allowing anyone to apply it as some glorified filter. I'm fairly sure that those who spent years refining the art/aesthetic and seeing it turned into mass produced nonsense must feel incredibly insulted. See below

Today, I received confirmation that I have been awarded a merit for completing my master's degree in clinical mental health sciences at University College London. 😁

What it must be like for scientific researchers who only read the abstract.

I absolutely love the honesty of Bill Burr, and he's right. The Democrats are toothless in highlighting that Elon Musk is turning the government and the future of the average person upside down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAKj...

🙄🙄🙄

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

I've had enough of today with this ridiculous drama by an elected president who wants to pretend he's a king.

One of the things that I find most egregious is how Donald Trump makes out he wants peace, but the fact is, he knows it's just a ceasefire. Once Russia has re-armed, it will cause more death and mayhem once Donald Trump is no longer in the Oval Office.

I feel bad for President Zelensky. The arrogance of the U.S. President and his Vice-President goes to show them for who they really are. Their choices in how they treat a leader of a sovereign country (which is fighting for its existence) will come back to haunt them.

Okay, that's a bit much

In following up on my previous post, the BBC have kindly decided to highlight the problematic issues concerning South Korean pop culture. I doubt it will change anything because I doubt many in South Korea read the BBC. Let's hope things change at some point www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I feel South Korea has ridiculously high standards when living in the public eye. Kim Sae-ron's last appearance was "mostly edited out" because she had been charged with drink-driving. A year later, Kim Sae-ron is now dead at the age of 24. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Will I be watching the Daytona 500 this year. No

Hmm, I wonder which side has a moral backbone?

Love it.😄🤣😄

"The most important thing to America is America". This is not about freedom, it's about a return on investment. For Ukraine, it will be a permanent state of servitude in having to pay the price of freedom #Ukraine www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFOR...

Just thinking of this banger of a line from ds9 for no particular reason

I did not expect to end up watching the whole one hour and forty-three minutes of this and learn about the state of Twitch and its nefarious streamers www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSUD...

I remember seeing a person on an American news channel saying even if Trump is elected president, he has faith in the branches of government to keep the executive branch in check. I wonder what he must be thinking now?

A glimpse into what the capitalist corporate end game looks like www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnu_... #slavery #Temu #TradingStandards #exploitation #spyware #ShoppingAddiction

So, the incoming president of the United States of America @notdontrmp.bsky.social is selling perfume for Christmas. I don't know how this is real, but it shows all previous presidents have been missing on the opportunity of having a side gig whilst in office 🤣

In fairness, if two folders cost £1,200. Then it should be relatively easy for government departments to find the 5% in cost savings #UKPolitics
