If I respond to your (good/funny) post with a (unhelpful/unfunny) quip, understand that even though I couldn't think of anything worthwhile to contribute, even though I knew it would make the world a little bit worse, nevertheless I reached out. That's how much I value our connection.

Getting a lot of nice comments about the cinematography on this one. I think Steve Martin said the secret of comedy is: "be so good they can't ignore the lighting."

The state should defend itself vigorously against opposition from the right, and engage constructively with opposition from the left. This is because the left is trying to make a better world, and the right is trying to make a worse one. 1/3

As a junior diplomat posted to Warsaw in the 1980s, April Fooled the spooks. Sent them a broken phone with some wires and microphone and asked if it was listening equipment. They were beyond excited. Didn't tell them it was the inside of a singing birthday card. London did.

(1)Burnham/Mahmood's plans to increase the wait for Indefinite Leave To Remain (ILR) to 15 Years should be big in Holborn+St.Pancras By-election- Its not a migration issue, its a workers rights issue. It doesn't change migrant numbers, it reduces rights of workers already here

I work at a radio station. Before the advent of AI, I listened to most of the new music we received to know if it was any good. Now, whenever I receive a song with AI-generated image, I don't even press play, I know it's gonna be crap. I don't feel even remotely guilty for it.

Gyms keep being advertised to me with "accountability" as a selling point. Like I should pay good money for the TA-reject PE teacher experience. I want the exact opposite of accountability. I want my exercise to be so unaccountable it's basically the IDF

I coach kids football. My team hasn't won a game all season. That's because I have an inclusive team and take all kids who want to play. I'm oversubscribed. I look down on coaches whose teams win because they kicked out all the weaker children.

Proportional representation is an excellent idea: 1) avoids splitting vote of UK's progressive majority 2) encourages coalition building & avoid elective dictatorship 3) I for one very keen on the idea that my proportions be represented, perhaps in charcoal sketch, or oils if that's more your medium
