The shuttle buses at airports that take you to the plane. Why is there so much space around the driver? You could sleep a family of six up there.

The FT is, for me, an inconveniently bundled product. I would happily pay for the global news and political coverage. But I don't really need companies & markets. So the pricing doesn't work for me.

Had a dream last night that wasn't about me or people I know. (Some kind of Jaws spinoff nonsense where a guy builds a massive shark tank in his cellar and his terrified kid leaves home.) Anyway, is it odd to dream about random people you just made up?

I increasingly sense on social media, particularly Reddit, an aversion to analysis. It seems that any time someone puts up a detailed explanation of something, maybe with a chart or a table, the response is "you're overanalysing". Seems an increasing trend away from reason/logic towards feels?

One day we'll solve the great mysteries of life: the nature of dark matter, the mechanisms of human consciousness, and why my low-effort memes suddenly get a batch of likes six weeks after posting.

This, on AI, is one of the most confusing bar charts I've ever seen. A mix of groups and opinions on the axis. Head-scratcher.

As a 6'5" bloke, it saddens me that we didn't have football free-kick 'draught excluders' when I was at school. Would have given me a reason to be on the pitch.

I've had about 19 text alerts from Sky Sports in the last 12 hours about the Solheim Cup. Someone there is VERY excited about it.

I recently posted a fairly long article on Reddit setting out two slightly complex concepts with charts and tables. I was accused of posting AI slop and the post was taken down. Apparently it was suspiciously well-written. We have reversed the Turing Test.

25 years ago, I was on a plane about to take off from Moscow to London. A man sitting in front of me called a flight attendant over to say that he'd heard that a light aircraft had hit the World Trade Center. She said she hadn't heard anything, and he must turn his phone off. 1/2

I assume Deltapoll read out the text in the red box before asking the question? If so, it does seem a bit like Sir Humphrey's National Service poll...

Realised I no longer had a subscription to TNT Sports. Just spent the last hour trying to give money to any of Virgin Media, Amazon or HBO Max, with no success. All their sign up mechanics broken. And we're losing 1-0. What a day.
