I don't buy into the idea of an AI-driven techno-utopia in our near future because the computer doesn't have arms.

The computer doesn't have arms so if it solves world hunger it's really relying on humans to do the work of putting the computer's master plan into action

and the thing is, all the rich guys who don't want to help other human beings because it's not profitable will STILL BE HERE and still be in control of the resources that could feed and clothe and house everyone

and I really don't see them changing their minds and letting people just have those things after decades of perceiving the entire food and clothing and housing distribution system as their sole discretionary property just because a computer was the one who told them it was a good idea this time

and I don't think the computer can solve for X if X is "make the capitalists all of the profit WHILE ALSO solving world hunger and homelessness without any rich man ever having to give up a single penny" because that's like dividing by zero.

F1's 2025 Grid: What we know so far

As the 2024 season progresses, we start to see who is signing who for 2025.

So far we see that Max Verstappen will be continuing to drive for Red Bull Racing until the end of his contract in 2028 alongside his teammate Sergio Perez who will be remaining at the team due to his newly-secured two-year contract.

Charles Leclerc will be remaining at Scuderia Ferrari as his contract extends until the end of the 2029 season. Unfortunately his current teammate, Carlos Sainz Jr, will not be accompanying him further at Ferrari. We are yet to find out who Sainz will be racing with next, however we do know that Lewis Hamilton will be filling that second Ferrari seat with a two-year contract.

Fernando Alonso will be continuing to race for Aston Martin until the end of 2026. His current teammate Lance Stroll has not yet signed for a team, however it is likely he will be staying on.

Alexander Albon has signed a two-year extension with Williams Racing which will keep him at the team until the 2027 season. His current teammate Logan Sargeant is yet to sign for a team and will most likely not be driving for Williams in 2025 as James Vowles has positioned Sainz as their top target.

Neither of Kick Sauber's current drivers have signed yet, however only one free seat remains as Nico Hulkenberg makes the move from Haas to Sauber on a multi-year contract.

George Russel will be continuing to drive for Mercedes until the end of his contract in 2025. While rumors circulated about Mercedes wanting Sainz to join them in 2025, it is likely that the second seat will be taken by Andrea Kimi Antonelli as the Formula 2 driver is heavily linked with a promotion to Formula 1 alongside Russel.

Both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will be remaining at McLaren where both have multi-year contracts and will likely be staying until at least 2026.

Although no one has yet signed for Alpine and Pierre Gasly's position is yet to be confirmed it is reported that Alpine are keen to keep him. Though it has been said that Bruno Famin has named a few junior drivers as potential options for the future alongside Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu. Esteban Ocon is yet to sign also, it is said he is likely moving to Haas.

RB's Yuki Tsunoda has extended his contract with the team through 2025, while his current teammate Daniel Ricciardo is yet to be confirmed. It is said he would be happy to continue with RB but not much else has been said.

Haas' 2024 team consists of Nico Hulkenberg who has already signed for Sauber and Kevin Magnussen who is yet to sign. There are speculations over whether Oliver Bearman will be moving up into Formula 1 and joining Haas alongside Valtteri Bottas.

Although nothing is yet confirmed between Alpine and Haas, we are definitely starting to see some of the puzzle pieces coming together. Let me know about some of your predictions!

Fellas... think i put my full pussy into this intro

I'm still writing this week's show, but I wrote part of the intro, threw in that amazing walk-on clip we got from the crew that's shooting this concert on pro cameras for what will probably end up being a documentary or feature as a montage.

Anyway, it might yet change since I haven't finished writing it yet, but it was shaping up to be one of those rousing-type segments, and my housemate is out of town on holiday, so I've got the house to myself for another day to be as deranged in my recordings without getting curious/concerned glances. So I've recorded it already anyway. Didn't realise I was genuinely quite excited for the reunion. It's amazing seeing so many people temporarily have their worries melt off them. It's surreal finding common ground with geezers that I would hate and would hate me. It's exciting.

Might keep it, I kinda like it. My throat hurts, this is not my normal presenting style and I probably won't do this again lol. Should I keep it?

Lyrics:

Songwriter:

She never cried for love, she never knew

How to deal with a broken heart, she was so blue

Only sweet seventeen

When she left on the midnight train just to be free

To feel so free

Angeline life is not what it seems

Open up your eyes, run away from your dreams

Angeline life is more than you see

Paradise is not what you want it to be

Angeline life is more than you know

Listen to your heart when there's nowhere to go

Angeline dry your tears in the rain

Life is just a trip and it's falling rain

She never cried a tear, she felt no pain

When she captured life in pieces, such a shame

Eyes of blue wondering

In the arms of a little close, too innocent

Too innocent

Angeline life is not what it seems

Open up your eyes, run away from your dreams

Angeline life is more than you see

Paradise is not what you want it to be

Angeline life is more than you know

Listen to your heart when there's nowhere to go

Angeline dry your tears in the rain

Life is just a trip and it's falling rain

No, you never gonna fade away

No, you never gonna fade away

But it's a lonely world for a lonely girl

Angeline life is not what it seems

Open up your eyes, run away from your dreams

Angeline life is more than you see

Paradise is not what you want it to be

Angeline life is more than you know

Listen to your heart when there's nowhere to go

Angeline dry your tears in the rain

Life is just a trip and it's falling rain

Angeline life is not what it seems

Open up your eyes, run away from your dreams

Angeline life is more than you see

Paradise is not what you want it to be

I forgot Reading and Leeds is THIS WEEKEND

[headknight-oh]

Just noticed that there hasn’t been much, if any, coverage on the mangione trial in like a month. Like since he plead not guilty, there hasn’t been any major coverage on the proceedings. I just tried to look up anything about the past month and I genuinely cannot find anything. Nothing about it they’re still in jury selection, nothing about any rulings, nothing about the defending attorney or even opinion pieces. Like I know why there’s not much coverage, but nothing at all? Like we got CONSTANT updates about the depp/heard case when it was happening, but now that it’s something about an important issue that would have been the case of the decade in times past, it’s radio silence.

It’s so incredibly disturbing that they’ve filtered it out of the media and that people don’t care enough to demand it be covered. People treated it like a trend and aesthetified it to the point that an actual act of resistance means nothing now.

Also there’s like no concrete evidence in this case. It’s all circumstantial. I feel that everyone forgot that, and because of it, the idea that “innocent until proven guilty” as a precedent is very much in the process of being undermined

Edit: Putting this here again because I keep getting people misinterpreting what I’m trying to say: You guys, I know there’s nothing new to report on. What I’m saying is that when something like this happens, everyone talks about it. Every talk show and opinion columnist and political analyst will talk give speculation and reaction and opinion on it. Like when columbine happened, every news outlet talked about it for months before the trial ever happened. It happened in 99 and the rulings didn’t come out til 01 or something. And even if they never directly mentioned columbine, they would talk about gun violence and bullying and how police weren’t trained for situations like that. They talked about the surrounding issues. Like yeah there’s nothing new that the media has access to rn, but no one is making opinion pieces about the judges conflict of interest, no talk show is having a 20 min segment about gun violence or the state of healthcare. Twenty years ago, it would have stayed in the news cycle at least passively until the case moved forward. But now it’s been phased out almost completely. And I know coverage will pick up when the trial starts. I know courts move slowly. I’m not trying to push conspiracy. I was simply making an observation that it was strange that there was almost no talk about it, that it’s been phased out of news cycles, and how there’s no widespread conversation about the issues surrounding the shooting.

Also, I only used depp/heard in the original because it was the most recent case I could think of. And because I was tired and thought this post would be seen by like 20 people max, so I didn’t bother wording it as precisely as I could have. Columbine and the OJ Simpson case are better examples to work off of.

I just wanted to clarify what I meant so I stop getting comments that misinterpret what I’m trying to say and people being rude about it
