.@currys taking the mick with this one. Same controller being sold elsewhere for about £30. They want a grand for it... On clearance!

In today's piece of unsolicited advice, I was told, by a mentor no less, that Memphina's Earring is a piece of "level 1 weathered gear" that "wasn't welcome in alliance raids". Except it's essentially a piece of L80 gear. But mentors know best #FF14 #ffxiv

Excellent

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

This is a priceless reply. Earlier in the thread the poster asked Grok to explain to someone else that Branded drugs are better than generics, (like they were five) He got schooled.

I've just been told by @HMCTSgovuk that my application is "out of time" I had to spend an hour, on hold, to explain to the gentleman on the other end of the phone that a deadline of 10/05/26 has not passed yet and is, in fact, in the future whatever way you slice it.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT. The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time. A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B. Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself. GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won. Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective. It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect. Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance. 99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time. If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars. Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Can I help you?" "Potato man!" "Where the hell have you been?"

Alan Tudyk, Sean Maher, Jewel Staite, Gina Torres, Summer Glau, Morena Baccarin, and Nathan Fillion pose for a cast photo following the announcement of a new Firefly animated series during a reunion panel at Awesome Con in Washington, DC on March 15, 2026.

Sky haven't done anything to improve my service at all but think they are entitled to an 11% increase!

Nathan Fillion admits that they have not secured a studio to distribute or stream the animated Firefly. "The last piece we need is a home. And for that we need you. Like this post."

The fact you haven’t quit says everything about your strength and resilience. Every step forward, no matter how tough, proves your determination and courage. Remember, the road may be long, and your shoes may be worn, but your spirit is unbreakable—keep going,
