@Wolleysegap @lovelylovely @psychictides Problem is he will surely be replaced by a flaming right winger. Not that it makes much difference at this point.
@Theblueone @tristansnell Yes, more masculinity will help us deal with climate change. 😂
@murodegrizeco A similar funny thing happens if you do a lot of CW (Morse code), like a lot of DXing or a contest where you spend hours struggling to dig faint signals out of the noise. When it's over your brain keeps at it and you continue to hear code in any noise source. So the air-conditioner is sending Morse code. Haha.
@igorsushko Ahh, so treason then, the real thing.

"Landlords are using #AI to screen their tenants, heightening errors and discrimination.
When Chris Robinson applied to move into a California senior living community five years ago, the property manager ran his name through an automated screening program that reportedly used artificial intelligence to detect “higher-risk renters.” Robinson, then 75, was denied after the program assigned him a low score — one that he later learned was based on a past conviction for littering.
Not only did the crime have little bearing on whether Robinson would be a good tenant, it wasn’t even one that he’d committed. The program had turned up the case of a 33-year-old man with the same name in Texas — where Robinson had never lived."

Banks are paying depositors an avg of 0.4% interest.
Banks then get paid 5% interest when they take savers’ cash & park it at the Fed.
The gap is the largest in history, making “net interest income” the Great Bank Robbery of 2023: https://levernews.com/the-great-bank-robbery/

NatWest cash machine at King’s Cross station concourse has a skimmer on it, the machine has a phone number to ‘report suspicious activity’. So I call it.
Automated service which fails to work out what I’m on about, then won’t let me past without my NatWest bank account number, which I don’t have because I’m not a NatWest customer.
Station security disinterested.
Anyway, it’s on the rightmost one at 4pm on Sun 16 Jul if anyone gives a flying fuck.

In their free time, the Ukrainian soldiers made “cat’s security checkpoint” so they can pass to a dugout freely. Heartwarming😻

💙💛 Another breakthrough by a Russian armoured assault group at the position of one of the units of the 10th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces "Edelweiss" in the Donetsk sector was absolutely unsuccessful.

@lauren Hahaha. Never got one of those that I'm aware of. Plus I'm old school. No webcams. One of my laptops has one but there's black tape over it. Built in microphones have their wires snipped. Needless to say, I've never used Zoom.
@lauren Bahahaha! Or "You have a great web site. Our SEO experts can..."

5 Years ago TODAY … Trump sides with Russia against FBI at Helsinki summit.
Trump has suggested he trusts Putin more than the "lowlifes" who work in U.S. intelligence.
@lovelylovely Thanks. I already figured he was an idiot. Nice to see confirmation.
The problem is there are lots people who voted for this clown. That's the disturbing thing.

Why does Fani Willis need THREE WEEKS of court time in August?
Because she’s indicting an entire CONSPIRACY worth of defendants. Possibly DOZENS.
@carnage4life Am I supposed to shed a tear?
@lovelylovely All righty. That's all I need to know about RFK, Jr.
