  Dolly Parton COULD have been a billionaire, if she'd wanted to. She could have sat on her money, bought property and stocks and fucking social media. She didn't. She gave kids 300 million books. She supported communities and helped actual people. Fuck every billionaire that doesn't. Be Dolly.

  Last night at the Exford, I had a conversation with a guy who runs a marketing company. One might imagine that such a man would be a massive dickhead. Well if you imagined that, then you would be absolutely correct. He was bragging about reducing his staff to zero and replacing them with AI to do all the, as he called it , "monkey work". He confirmed that he learned how to do the job was was the same work when he was fresh put of uni. I got to tell him that he's just pu...

  I only just read the name they gave to the military operation to bomb the shit out of Iran, and what in the 12 year old in a Call of Duty lobby is going on? We live in the stupidest timeline.
