He’ll Be First Against The Wall When Skynet Rises…

Last month, a video of William Gude, known online as FilmThePoliceLA, showed him yelling at a Mingo food delivery robot in Los Angeles.

Is this an example of ‘old man yells at cloud’..? 

The video went viral on Twitter and has since been posted on many other social media services and websites, including Reddit and Instagram. In the video, the robot parks near Gude on the sidewalk by a street crossing and asks him to hit the crosswalk button. Gude refuses multiple times before leaving it trapped at the crosswalk. It’s one of many videos posted by Gude documenting such robot delivery drones.

I guess everyone deserves to have a hobby... 

“You want me to press the button for you? You want me to press the button for you, Mingo? F**k you! Press it yourself,” says the man in the minute-long video. “You took a human’s job, and you want me to press the button for you?”

If a robot stole your job, it can’t have been a very good one! 

Food delivery bots have become more commonplace in big cities in the United States. However, these robots aren’t liked by everyone.

Presumably they’re well liked by those that are receiving the food..?

Welcome to the future, where you will soon be replaced by bots to save rich people money, and instead, you will serve the bots, like we see with Waymo paying people to close doors left open on its robotaxis.

Well, there’s an answer to that then, isn’t there? Simply charge an excess fee when you don’t shut the door! 

Another Day, Another Dog Fatality...

 ...and another aspect to watch social media for:

A 19-year-old woman who died in a dog attack has been named locally as Jamie-Lea Biscoe. The fatal attack happened in the village of Leaden Roding in Dunmow at about 10.45pm yesterday. The emergency services were alerted to the scene, where they found the young woman seriously injured.

Family members have paid tribute to Jamie, saying the dog was a ‘seven-y ear-old lurcher’. One woman wrote: ‘She slept on my granddaughter’s bed. It’s devastating.’

These stories are usually  jumped on by pit nutters eager to sing the praises of their bloodpot mutts, and this one's no different of course: 

Of course, 'lurcher' isn't a breed, it's a crossbreed, and travellers in particular often cross sighthound breeds like greyhounds and salukis with bull breeds for poaching, so what went into the animal and where he obtained it from are going to be lines of enquiry. And  indeed, photos of dogs on  the victims social media show two distinct types, one the typical scruffy, lightly built lurcher and another blocky-headed bull breed crossbred animal. If these are the culprits, the death is somwhat more likely. We are now told that the mutt savaged the father too when he attmpted to save the girl.

But ever since the drive to make the countryside more enticing to Muslims, every dog attack attracts these tinfoil hatted loons: 

It's exhausting enough arguing with the pit nutters, I'm not even going to try with these.... 

Species Is The Word, Not Breeds…

 …but this is what we expect from the ‘Daily Mail’ after all…🤷‍♀️

I'm Going To Go Out On A Limb Here...

                                                 

...amd say it's bats! 

Sunday Funnies...

 This is why I switch my brain off when I watch movies...

Shall We Play ‘Guess The Breed’?

 No need, it's (according to social media and other reports), a so-called pocket bully, smaller and not included in the DDA as 'not dangerous'.

The BBC has asked police how old the child was and what breed the dogs were.

And at the time of this report in the BBC, they didn't answer. They did act, at least!  

The force said one dog had been destroyed on the street and another at the house had been seized.

That mutt has also now been disposed of. 

District commander for Redcar and Cleveland Emily Harrison said officers remained at the address and an investigation was taking place. "Understandably this is a distressing and tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the child's family," Harrison said. "I would encourage anyone who has concerns or information to please speak to an officer."

It's a bit late now, the mutts are dead what is there to be concerned about? Other than, perhaps, when the DDA is going to be tightened up to include all strains of this ghastly breed, or when social services are going to begin to demand that possession of these dogs is incompatible with allowing children in your house, and neither of those are anything the police can push for.

Competition: Find A More 2026 Opening Paragraph Than This One!

As a mother of four boys, teenagers riding e-bikes had become one of my biggest parenting fears. But after speaking to friends of William Drake, 16, and Adrian Lai, 15, the two teenagers killed when their dirt bike collided with a bus in Sydney's west this week, that has completely changed. And I think everyone should be more worried about what happens when police get more authority to seize and destroy these bikes.

A middle class woman opens dialogue with some ‘teens’ over the senseless death of two of them during a criminal endeavour, and comes away from it thinking they have a point. 

The following day, a number of their mates agreed to talk to me about their involvement in the growing illegal e-bike culture. I expected regret. I expected a wake-up call. Instead, I was met with defiance. And something far more confronting: fear.

Not, Reader, fear of dying in a horrifying crash. That takes sense, with they clearly lack.  

'What else are we going to do?' one classmate asked me when I questioned whether this tragedy would stop ride-outs. 'How else will we be able to make friends and have somewhere to go?'He wasn't concerned about getting hurt, or worse still, losing his life before it even had a chance to really begin. He was worried about losing his freedom.

The freedom to end your short life in a twisted mass of mangled metal? 

But what struck me most is this: e-bikes are not the real problem.

Not all kids play sport. Youth clubs are dwindling. And now social media, for many under-16s, is effectively off the table.

Oh dear, I’d forgotten this was Australia. Is that ‘unforeseen consequences’ I hear calling?

The young teens I spoke to didn't care what the law says, and they are willing to take the risk of being caught for the thing they love most. That's actually being with their mates, but their logical brains are still developing, and they think it is about the e-bikes. Which means if we ban them without replacing them, they will not stop.

Give them social media so they won't find more dangerous pursuits? Well, it's a theory...

If You Didn't Know The Young Man Murdered At Primrose Hill Wasn't Black...

...the opening paragraphs in the news would clue you in fast:

A musician's son was stabbed to death as a packed London beauty spot erupted into shocking violence. The father of 21-year-old Finbar Sullivan told the Daily Mail of his heartbreak after his son's death on Primrose Hill.Christopher Sullivan, founder of 1980s band Blue Rondo à la Turk, said: 'This is the worst tragedy I could ever imagine. He's my only son... I had him when I was 45. He can never be replaced.'

A father commenting on the death of his son... if you were blind, you'd immediatly know which demographic this was. 

One witness, who asked not to be named, said: 'The park was just so busy, I had gone with my mate after work and it was literally the busiest I have ever seen it because of the weather and it being Easter holidays. 'Then suddenly we heard this commotion from behind us, and a big brawl kicked off – people were throwing punches, people were screaming at others to stop. 

'There were lots of people involved in the fight, most of them looked about 18 or 19.' Police said no arrests have been made.

Typical. always a day late and a dollar short. 

Mr Sullivan said he went to the scene as soon as he heard his son had been caught up in the violence:'It's Primrose Hill, for God's sake... it's like Hyde Park. It's not somewhere you expect this.'

In 2026 it can be expected anywhere in London. The photos of the scene show just why. and more impotantly who.

Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, from Scotland Yard, said: 'We are following several lines of inquiry. This incident occurred in a busy, public park and there may be many witnesses who can help us piece together what happened. 'We are aware of footage circulating on social media around the time of the incident, and urge anyone who has any information, including photos or videos, which could support the investigation to urgently contact us.'

Maybe if you'd showed up a bit faster and arrested a few at the scene, you wouldn't be playing catch up now. 

Surely They Have Their Hands Full With The Physical Sort?

Activists and lawyers in Africa are calling for urgent action to protect women, girls and boys as digital violence surges across the continent.

Digital violence sounds infinitely better than the usual sort... 

A massive rise in internet users, coupled with huge numbers of people aged under 30, has fuelled an increase in gendered online violence across the continent, according to experts, by giving perpetrators new tools to control and silence women and girls, and influence boys.

Technology is amazing, isn't it? 

A UN Women report in Kenya found that name-calling, blackmail using negative images of women in politics, and other messages were posted online with the aim of spreading fear, and undermining women’s credibility to participate in elections.

Toughen up, sisters!  

The African Union Convention on Ending Violence against Women and Girls was introduced in 2024 and includes digital violence, but according to Sibongile Ndashe, executive director of the Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa, it is “regressive”.She said: “We’ve spent a lot of time trying to push back on it because we feel that the convention is not doing what it’s supposed to do in terms of setting out rights, required state obligations and providing clarity [around technology-facilitated gender based violence].”

A charity in Africa fails? Surely it ain't so? I wonder how much British taxpayers money went into it...

When Is Enough Going To Be Enough?

A dog was shot dead by armed officers after a man was attacked earlier today. Armed police officers were called to Hillside at around 10.45am today, April 7, to reports two dogs were on the loose on Lynton Road.A spokesperson for the force said in order to prevent further harm and stop threat to the public, a decision was made to destroy one of the dogs at the scene.The force did not say anyone had been arrested at this time.

Why onlt shoot one loose mutt? Wht not both? When are the police going to shake off the fear of critiscim from the owners and idiots on social media and man up and do the job of keeping the public safe?  

Perhaps because of it's clossness to Wales, a hotspot for aggressive breeds, Liverpool has had yoo mani of these attacks: 

A woman has pleaded not guilty after a vicious dog latched onto a schoolgirl's leg and sank its teeth into her skin. Kerris Gledhill, 16, from Norris Green, underwent surgery after the suspected XL Bully attacked her in the street.Barbara Kukla, 37, of Beversbrook Road in Liverpool was charged by Merseyside Police with owning a dog dangerously out of control causing injury. She appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, April 7 where she plead not guilty. She will go on trial next March.Following the incident Merseyside Police confirmed a dog had been seized following the attack.

Why wasn't it too shot at the scene?  Meanwhile, in one recent case, it appears the cops didn't shoot enough out of control ill-bred bitches:

The girlfriend of an XL Bully breeder whose vicious dog mauled and killed a "confused" pensioner who wandered into their garden has said her life has been "ruined" thanks to the actions of the victim.

We should, no doubt, expect such from a denizen of Self Pity City... 

Following Garner's guilty verdict, his girlfriend Lauren Lawler made a series of public posts "liked" hundreds of times on Facebook, raging: "The police and this government are the biggest load of vile corrupt people I’ve ever come across."

Living in Liverpool? I doubt that even more! 

Garner, of Dinaro Close in Belle Vale, was remanded in custody. He will return to Liverpool Crown Court for sentence on April 17.

He should do life.
