My god there's an audiobook available in Libby from my library for a change, rather than it either simply not being available or being loaned out as 1/1 copies because enforced digital scarcity is a thing

Doing some silly all day training thing tomorrow that I thought was half day but people don't know how to make invites, and I'm taking a leftover Greggs chicken bake and sausage roll for lunch. The show off knobheads there who'll spend loads on show off non-beige lunches can get in the bin

For some it’s a lifeline. For others (like me), it’s guidance. For others, it’s the availability of options. Refusing a diagnosis is a violation of the right to health - ADHD remains a disability, with all the personal and societal consequences it holds. This is not just appalling - it’s dangerous

This endless train of puff pieces about charming neo-Nazis inevitably leads to Nazi ideologies being mainstreamed. Once you shift from "we should kick Nazi's teeth down their throats" to "What if the Nazi is wearing a buttondown shirt?" it's very hard to come back from that. And the Nazis know it.

From the same piece, written a week ago:

- When climate activists block a highway or throw something at a painting in the UK, the country is treated to 500 articles about whether this particular type of protest is the most operationally, tactically, and strategically optimal method of securing long-term policy change on environmental issues.

- When Bazza and the Restraining Order Lads attempt to burn asylum seekers and immigrants alive inside their accommodation, every article spends throat clearing paragraphs noting that of course they’re driven by serious and valid concerns about immigration (and not as basic observation would suggest, serious and valid amounts of cocaine).

I foolishly put "early night" on our pre holiday to do list for yesterday, and eventually got to sleep about 4.5 hours ago before having to get up. How foolish, but who cares because right now I got that holiday adrenaline babyyyyy! 🛫🇮🇹

The technologies needed to address climate change are already known, decades into their development, and getting cheaper every day. If you ask an LLM what to do about climate, they've already harvested the answer from millions of sources that already described it. Meanwhile it's all powered by gas.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

Maybe this hasn’t sunk in for anyone who should care but the NHS was birthed when the UK *literally had negative money*. The USA had razed us of every penny to pay for weapons to defend ourselves against Germany, Germany had bombed all our industrial sites. We still did it in 6 months. 6.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
