Translation: spending is recognised over time by one company, income instantly by the other Likely a function of increased capex/investment spending rather than spurious price hikes

“Life in the Shower” - a fun little series I started a while back and just updated! When you’re in your own shower…
A very simple cartoon of someone standing in their shower, staring into the middle distance, perhaps wondering why they somehow yet again forgot to buy more shampoo, despite having been to the shops twice today for various other things. Of course, going to the shops a third time, AFTER your shower to buy shower things is entirely unhinged, so it’s going to have to wait till tomorrow, and who knows if they’ll remember any of this by then.

My main reaction to the recent AI results in math is that none of your prompts or conversations are private and they may not even be anonymized and that has a lot of implications moving forward

The wealthy countries seem to have a core of 15-30% of their voting populations who *just fucking hate foreigners*. This section of the electorate are for various reasons disproportionately well represented among the ultra-wealthy and thus are able to secure some favourable media coverage.

This was from 2024 but I did the exact same thing two weeks ago because I never learn
[In the style of tent instructions booklet]

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPACKING YOUR
B-STARD 3000

Your
B-STARD 3000
tent
uses an innovative and mysterious technology which makes it 4x harder to repack than it was to put up.

1.
Start by making the mistake of thinking it will be as easy to repack as it was to put up.

2.
Leave it till an hour before check out time.


3.
Take it down and fold it in half.

4.
Realise that's not right and fold it into thirds.


5.
Have an argument in front of the other families about how to repack your tent.


6.
Look up a video on YouTube of a cheerful German person repacking a completely different model of tent.

7.
Gaze covetously at the air tent next door.

8.
Roll the tent into an infinitesimally small sausage while wiping it off as you go.


9.
Marvel at how it is still Somehow three times too big for the bag.

10.
Jam the rest in the car because it's bloody raining now youve taken so
long.

11.
Spend the next two days drying it out at home.

[Ends]

The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

Strange article, based on the combined premises: - 60% is not equivalent to 100% - 60% is equivalent to 0% I can only follow their argument halfway The initial 60% package is frustrating and incurs all the admin for only most of the benefit, but it's also a lot better than 0%

Absolutely fucking gutting
Speaking on why she remained closeted until age 36 and whether she has had relationships with women, Panettiere stated, "Yeah, I did. It was scary, though, because there were paparazzi always waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy. I have dated women. I was much more into women even as a child than I was men. I have explored it, but because I hadn't shared this with anybody, I didn't really have the courage to throw myself fully emotionally into it. Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn't something that I wanted to ever have to hide."[83]

Just as a matter of interest, *any* use of AI in scholarly writing is tantamount to plagiarism. You don’t know whose work the AI has trained on, so you can’t give them proper acknowledgment or make an appropriate citation.
