    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    The right wing sure seems to think it is a story, given the way they got mad over Ossoff just name checking her in a speech about Trump.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Congrats to Farage for his win over *checks notes* a man with a bin on his head. I hope the results of the enquiry are prompt.

    AI don't trust techbros

    I've often thought about the fact that if YouTube ever dies, it's going to take the creative output of a generation with it. Not to mention the number of people who count on YT as their primary source of income.

    The New TFwiki Discussion Thread (2023)

    Generally if you're getting this error, it means someone is DDOSing the wiki. It seems to be a semi-regular thing these days for unknown reasons. Our hosting provider has DDOS protection but it does not appear to be catching the attacks.

    New Zealand election year

    Because everything is great, on Wednesday NZ First's leader Winston Peters, who I should point out is specifically foreign minister, told another MP to "go back to your own country", additionally complaining about people who moved here "five minutes ago". The MP in question was born in China but...

    New Zealand election year

    Recent events of note: ex-Labour MP Stuart Nash joined NZ First... and then quit the next day after making sexist comments about a National MP. Not the first time his mouth has got him in trouble. Likewise Paul Henry joined ACT. Paul Henry is a broadcaster whose previous greatest hits include...

    AI don't trust techbros

    Frankly the sensible reaction to this would be to pass laws banning this technology for being too dangerous, and having all instances of it destroyed. But we don't live in a reality where sensible things happen, so I guess we're stuck with it.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I was going to say maybe it was introduced months ago and only agreed to now. But no, it was introduced the same day that it was agreed to! Maybe Grassley just lost track of which month it is.

    P&R Funnies!

    When they say "stop having wars" they actually mean "We are going to start a dozen more unnecessary wars"

    Could well have been deep vein thrombosis from the flight from Ukraine.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    He is running in the by-election, framing it as "the people versus the establishment" with him naturally representing the people. The other parties have refused to play this game by announcing they're not putting up candidates. Clacton now has the opportunity to do something hilarious by...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    It's going to seriously blunt my enthusiasm for getting a PS6 if they don't release one with a disk drive "because we don't release games on disk any more" when a good number of the PS4 and PS5 games I own are on physical disk.

    Weird little pop-up thing (ad?) at the bottom of the forum pages?

    I'm not seeing the added links in any of my Firefoxes, but I am seeing the floating ads (because obviously having a floating ad in the way of something you want to click on is not annoying at all) but it could be some sort of A/B testing Google is doing.

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    I've been thinking lately about the opening sequence of More Than Meets the Eye. Mostly: they teamed Bumblebee up with another Autobot for a snatch and grab Energon mission, and the other Autobot turns into a space van. Why did they pick Wheeljack (inventor, turns into car) and not Ironhide...
