Big up to an emergency alert system that removes the message from the screen as soon as you silence it.

Worked out how to get it back, but it feels like a weak point. I can think of a few people in my life who would never get a chance to read it.

Was sorting through some photos at the time & a solution presented itself. Following the idiom that "a picture is worth a thousand words" can I suggest the UK Govt license the image below from me for future messages.

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

(hit a button morty, give me a beat)
you gotta get floppy
you gotta get floppy in here
relax your arms and leggies
lie on the floor
get floppy
annoy the arresting officer today

How good is AI.

IKEA order arrived with a damaged box. The return AI booked a replacement drop off and pickup scheduled for Friday. All good zero touch customer rep experience. Status updates telling us it’s on the way etc.

Except it never arrived.

Called IKEA this morning took 45m of waiting and dealing with humans to discover. The AI had hallucinated the whole thing. The schedule was too tight For the warehouse to load the goods. So the AI just faked the rest of the delivery updates.

Cust rep couldn’t fix it so just created two new deliveries, one for the replacement and one for the damaged part pickup.
So much time wasted and inconvenience to our family.

Grr.

People will believe any old shite when it's claimed to be about trans people.

I've seen it myself, my scum family made up all manner of lies about me to justify pushing me out, and the worst thing was people took them at face value.

Now I'm seeing this stuff being used to prepare the masses for a genocide, and people are just lapping it up. I know when it's all over they'll be all "But we didn't know!", because of course they will.

Never again, my arse.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

I have the feeling that a lot of the people that I follow here on mastodon have gone inactive over the time. A lot of the content that I see is automated. If you see this, maybe interact with this post, or boost it so I can find some more people to follow and socialize :)

Remember, if you say it with confidence, you can get away with saying "nine fives of availability" in presales meetings
