@haruki_zaemon a warning beacon maybe - "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA<DEL>USA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE."

@pluralistic
No company has announced “thanks to AI, we have the same number of employees, but we have launched zillions of new services and are growing our product lines because of all the time our people get to spend innovating.”

I don’t know why that is.

@tonyarnold @ryanbooker @Amy I'm only half an hour in, (SPOILER ALERT) but this journey seems EXTREMELY unlikely without steering the vehicle 😂 The sea is 12 miles across between Scotland and Ireland - to thread that needle and THEN somehow navigate AROUND the Isle of Man - what are the chances? About the same as a planet being wiped out by a comet? Roughly 🤯😂😂

@tonyarnold @ryanbooker @Amy Fair enough, he's been through a lot, what with the end of the world and everything. Stressful. 😂

@tonyarnold @ryanbooker @Amy That sounds brilliant! I just watched Greenland (1) a couple of weeks ago. Can't beat nonsense like that sometimes. Basically any Gerry Butler movie will do - has he ever made a proper movie? 🤔😂

@layoutSubviews @Amy That sounds great. I just drove by on the way home from the boy winning another hockey tournament in Reservoir🥇Could have popped in for a celebratory scoop 😀

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social @nicklockwood Was completely unsure if this referred to the UK or Australia until I noticed the "u" in Labour - applies equally here too.

Let's find out whatis so severe about the weather... oh!

@iamkonstantin @fmarini And with the "five eyes" agreement you just get one of the other eyes to spy on the US, easy.

@detachedspork Yeah that would be a trek. The goalie for Raf's team does about a 90 minute drive to training from down the coast and two hours to some games. I don't know how they do it 😂

Jack Dorsey accidentally fell into a pile of money that one time and has been failing upward ever since

@detachedspork As a hockey parent, you might also be relieved because it's *REALLY* fkn expensive 😂

Tech industry layoffs - Mike Monteiro nails it again (https://buttondown.com/monteiro/archive/how-to-grow-strawberries/):

> “I think we need to open our eyes to the fact that the current industry many of us work in, not only doesn’t care about their workers, it actively resents them. In their eyes, we have gone from being the people who made things possible, to an unnecessary burden on the bottom line.
>
> They hate that we charge money for our labor, and see that money as something we are stealing from their pockets. Which are very large, are already more full than they will ever be able to use in a lifetime.”

I learned two words today that the Russians use in the invasion ofUkraine:
- Zero. Murdering your own troops if they dissent, or don't follow an order, or don't pay the bribe they owed their commander.
- Meatstorm. You can imagine what that means, much like WWI

@huwr yeah. It's a curse.

@nesevis Thanks a lot Chris, I'd temporarily forgotten about that in the deluge 😂😭

The thing I dislike most about getting old is that you've seen the same thing happen before - thrice - so you know roughly what's going to happen next. And it'll be terrible, it'll make things worse, but it'll definitely happen. It's fucking depressing tbh.

What am I thinking about? You choose: Iran about to be destroyed, AI about to take all the jobs/kill everyone, the Premier League Season, billionaires, all of the above 😵‍💫

@jeremyburge @BenRiceM I'm trying SO hard to think of a "Ben and Jeremy's" joke, but it's been a long day and it's fucking hot so you'll just have to imagine it was hilarious 😀🥵
