Hey everyone i made video about my thoughts on UK and wider western countries issues. I hope people find value!!
Are you the project manager for time? I asked.
“You be RIGHT there, lass,” said the small, round fellow with clock-face eyes. He looked like a gnome-gremlin crossbreed. “How can I be helping?”
“I’d like to make a small change to the spec.”
“RIGHT… Don’t have time for yer nonsense, lad. Good day.”
“Have time for a drink with me, Jack Daniels?”
“Black label, the good stuff. — Don’t mind if I do. Just a wee sip.”
Definitely some leprechaun too, I thought.

“A weeee changy pooh here, and weeeee” — the dials in his eyes spun madly — “weeee change thereee.

"Who is this? Why is he here?" the field commander demanded.
Before the aide-de-camp could reply, the man in question said, "I'm a hypnotist."
The field commander barked a laugh. "You intend to hypnotize the enemy?"
The man smiled. "No. I hypnotize structures. Watch."
Out came a gold coin on a chain. The man whistled as it swung left, #right, left, right.
The encampment tents were swaying too--and then they collapsed.
"Let me be your secret weapon," the man said.
“Are you sure this is the RIGHT door?” Sorawo said. She nodded at the wooden door, then gestured at the wooden plank corridor.
“It says RIGHT here, FF100. That’s Beni’s shorthand for first-floor room 100. It’s just atmosphere for her steampunk-themed party.” Toriko replied. “But I brought my gun just in case,” tapping a pouch hanging from her steampunk outfit.
“I thought it stood for Fan Fiction 100.”
Toriko winced at Sorawo’s quip. “I love you, but your humor sucks,” Toriko said and patted her girlfriend’s head. A just payment, she thought, for the joke, and as she’d predicted, Sorawo grimaced at the show of affection.
“Perv,” came an answering mutter.
“You want to see perv?” Toriko asked, her hand slipping down.
Sorawo bolted, opening the door and ducked through.
Toriko dashed after her, a grin spread across her face.
In the next instant, they realized their mistake as they sailed into space and drifted toward the wooden sailing vessel below. The ship’s bow proudly proclaimed it was the “Fate Gear.”
The Fate Gear, home of bold, feared freebooters and escaped slaves, floated gently on a light breeze, a thousand feet above a tropical island.
Captain Mina looked up and smiled. “They’re back.”

Kit was earnest, "The right seeks to abrogate all of our rights making some citizens wonder if the country can right itself and do the right thing"
"You do know you're preaching to the choir, #right?" After one hundred days, Sid was weary of talking politics.
"Who else do I have to talk to? Who'll listen to me vent and spit facts?"
Sid pointed to the right, "Buncha undecideds right around the corner."
With renewed purpose, Kit ran to engage them.

There will surely be turf wars and palace intrigue within the administration, but there is little reason to think that its core figures will fracture in the pursuit of this basic goal. To say that these figures are ideologically cohesive, however, is not to say that they will be successful. The continuing fact of class dealignment means that Trump’s 77 million voters are more dependent than ever on state provision. The twentieth-century state came into being for a reason and endured, however partially, for a reason; gutting it would unleash forces that no one can predict or control. If the project of Trump’s second term fails, it will not be because its protagonists turned on one another, but rather because the ice broke beneath their feet.From Fissures in Trumpworld?

The study of ethics is a pursuit of understanding the philosophical nature of right and wrong in its most perfect form.
A society’s justice system is an ever-evolving pursuit of that perfection.
Corruption is the cultural, political, or personal bias that overrules and interferes with that system.

#Bias in artificial intelligence systems, or the fact that large language models, facial recognition, and #AI image generators can only remix and regurgitate the information in data those technologies are trained on, is a wellestablished fact that researchers and academics have been warning about since their inception.
