an introduction-to-conditional-probability lecture should be mandatory if you're going to cite numbers like this in public
screenshot of a guardian article about a man falsely accused of shoplifting: "A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We have contacted Mr Arnold to apologise for his experience at our Dulwich superstore. The incident was caused by human error, not the facial recognition technology. *Customers can be reassured that the Facewatch system has a 99.98% accuracy rate*, and every match is reviewed by a trained manager.”" (emphasis mine)

i was given an interesting-looking book of nahautl poetry so i spent a few days reading up on aztec history, mythos, language, etc to situate myself. nothing warned me about the horniness
Wife's Song

Married, and my mother wants to die of grief
Because I can't make the spindle dance
Or straighten the loom pole
What's to be done?
I'll go out to the prairie, 
Open my arms to the soldier's plumed shield.
Here I am! I'll say.
Ah little one, my sweet one,
Oh sweet king Axayáctl, enter my house!
Show me how it stands straight up!

the british press devoting any time at all to the beckham family's antics to is a fascinating insight into the psyche of a country that has passed *through* terminal decline and emerged somewhere even worse somehow
