about the uk elections-

so, i read a fair amount of news about politics in the uk. the thing i dont think ppl realize is that starmer was not a good candidate. i dont think anyone rly loves the guy. yet, his party won in a landslide.

watch this jon oliver show from a week ago. the parallels r strong. if they reran the brexit vote, it wd go down hard.
take heart peeps. this was a snap election. i dont think it’s possible, w all the money the dems have rn, and w how much time we still have, for us to lose.

timing is a funny thing.

y’all thought this kerfuffle about painting joe as demented was about the election.
nope. it’s about painting him as a mad king just in time for his coronation.
ANYTHING he does rn will cause a hurricane of calls for him to step down. prepare to hear about 25a.

holy cow. i guess i need to start recording my doc visits.

i’ve been rly, rly sick lately. the pcp i was seeing quit. i asked an er nurse who was good, and i made an appt w that person. had an initial visit w that guy. i’ve been frustrated since, as he went back on the 1 thing he said he wd do for me.
it is a work of ABSOLUTE FICTION.
detailed notes of an exam. he never touched me.
i wasnt weighed, might have taken my bp, dont remember. def didnt do a pulse ox, didnt take my temp. but there they r.
i called the ombudsman, and waiting for a call back. but holy shit.

should du have a rule against ai images and words?

i feel like we dont talk about ai enough here. it’s here, it sucks and it WILL b used in the upcoming election.
i dont see much of it here, but i am seeing it creep in, esp in the lounge. rn the web is flooded w feel good images, and they’re starting to turn up here.
it’s just so dangerous. they’re trying to sell us a shiny unreality where even trained artists share stuff like klimt and monet w their colors goosed, and van gogh’s w the brushstrokes blurred. the crap jumps out at me as both a trained artist and a tetrachrome w a great memory for color.
it’s petty theft, it’s hard on the environment, and it’s coming for our elections.
i’m good at spotting it in images, but no so much w words.

i dont think it shd b a violation that counts toward a ban. many ppl r just unaware. but i feel like we need to b vigilant.

what do u all think?
