every human […] had a comlog with biomonitor, many had implants, and each of these was tuned to the music of the datasphere, monitored by elements of the datasphere, dependent upon functions of the datasphere-so humans accepted their lack of privacy. The fall of Hyperion, Dan Simmons, 1990

2) England is a rare exception. During the 2010s many other countries (including the other 3 UK nations) changed tack, experimenting with ideas like transferrable skills instead of focusing on tried-and-tested disciplines and methods. It looks like those experiments have failed.

My wife is a lawyer. And the 6/8 months old tools they are using is doing wonders to both save time AND challenge e.g. professionals’ due diligence findings, resulting in lower costs and higher quality for the client. One year ago I would not have thought we’d get here so fast

they always look like this
Preacher, from the Preacher comic book, angrily exclaims to a group of white supremacists saying  "why is it the 'greatest champions of the white race' always turn out to be the worst examples of it? YOU!" Preacher, zeroing in on one of the racists (who looks shockingly like the creep in this video), says "Where the fuck is your chin?!"

The European response to the #Ceuta crisis will go down in history as an own goal that emboldened Europe’s adversaries. Instead of showing solidarity, Italy & co sought to punish it. Now, with the vast majority of arrivals already returned, the failure wasn’t border control but European solidarity.

That even *progressive* Americans seemingly don't have this instinct is almost as damning about America as anything Trump's done. It makes, say, the partisan gerrymandering both sides have indulged in far more understandable.

Why does planning an essay feel like you're doing all the work before doing the work, Grammarly? Because learning the subject, figuring out what you want to say, and planning out of the structure of how to say it *IS* the vast majority of the work of writing. Any writer knows this. You do too.

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.
The Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin asks his dad to come play in the snow with him. His dad initially says no, because he has to work. Then, angry at himself, his Dad goes out to build a snowman with Calvin. As the Dad works into the night to make up for it, we see Calvin’s mum lifting him up to give one of the few, if only, kisses he ever gives his dad in the Calvin and Hobbes run. His dad is content. It’s a textless comic, and it’s lovely.

Disclosure for a long thread. 1) I am responsible for the adoption of GenAI in my organization. 2) AI enthusiasts call me an AI skeptic, and AI skeptics call me an AI enthusiast. So I humbly believe I am the right man for the job. I see this disconnect between employees and top leaders daily.

Photos of newly arrived immigrants at Ellis Island. Augustus Sherman took the photos between 1902 and 1920 when he worked as the Chief Registry Clerk. Striking to me how the outfits all look good because they have a discernible silhouette (shape and drape).
Two photo. The first is of a Romanian piper; the second is of three Georgians who were employees of the "Buffalo Bill Wild West Show."

Deadlock over. The EU just cleared way for the €90-billion-loan for Ukraine and the 20th sanctions package. Russia’s war economy is under growing strain, while Ukraine is getting a major boost. We will provide Ukraine what it needs to hold its ground, until Putin understands his war leads nowhere.
