I assure you they ARE talking about it. I know because I had a post about it go viral elsewhere and there was a deluge of comments from men demanding I provide EVIDENCE that these seven fellas did ANYTHING wrong. Some of them call me a bitch and a cunt. #JustProtectingWomenStuff

So the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition is not going very well They've sold far too many tickets and the space cannot cope with the physical number of people - how did they not do basic crowd flow/control calculations? Embarrassing that the British cannot organise a queue properly (Not my photo)

Paper flyer from the British Museum apologising for the disruption to your Bayeux Tapestry visit today

It's basically saying 'sorry we may not be able to get you in today, we will try and get you an alternative date but if we can't do this we will refund your ticket'

Really helpful climate graphic—can't remember seeing a plot quite like this before. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/my-new-nyt...

Chart showing cumulative probabilities of passing various levels of warming (y axis) over time (x axis) on the basis of current policies. The curve for 2 degrees is sigmoid, reaching 50% at 2050 and saturating at 100% by 2100. The curve for 3 degrees lifts off zero just before 2050 and reaches 50% in 2107. By 2150 (end of the chart) it has reached 77%. 4C gets started around 2075, is <5% at 2100 and has reached 28% by 2150

Relevant to "is Claude AI conscious?" stuff No, because Claude does not exist as an integrated entity except in people's imagination. You can check this by asking proposers "what, exactly, might be conscious?", and finding out they cannot answer this question, prob have not even thought about it

Has anyone seen anything anywhere recently in which the idea of "a great piece of analysis about the right" and the concept of "Dorian Lynskey" have been connected in some way? Or is this an entirely false memory?

My potentially unpopular opinion is that Iceland is not amazing. I’ve been there four times in the last couple of years to conduct research in a fjord, and while the photographs from the trips are beautiful, it’s actually windy, rainy, cold and quite miserable.

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

I can't help but connect this to the fact that Trump's body and mind are failing. There's something very gothic about this dying king building a impenetrable fortress around the seat of his power as he falls apart.

I honestly can’t believe this is what has become acceptable in the U.K. why is he not being charged with hate crime? Twitter is a cesspit of antisemitism (and every other ism)

Calvin Robinson has posted an antisemitic diatribe on Twitter that reads “It is the Jews. It has always been the Jews.
Not all of them, but always them.
There is no avoiding this truth. Everything else is a distraction. Once you notice, you cannot unsee.
Marxism/Communism/Socialism, Bolshevism,
Feminism, Liberalism/Libertarianism,
Anarchism, Psychoanalysis, Critical Theories, Neoconservatism, Zionism.”

Robinson’s next antisemitic post on twitter “There is no wonder our Lord did not mince his words when describing them:
"Brood of vipers" Matthew 3:7, Luke 3:7, Matthew 12:34 & 23:33.
"Of your father the devil" John 8:44
"killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets" 1
Thessalonians 2:14-16
"Synagogue of Satan" Revelation 2:9 & 3:9
St Paul knew them well:
"You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved."
