Well, happy 29th anniversary to the greatest ‘reverse ferret’ ever issued by a media outlet
“We apologise for the Princess Diana page one headline DI GOES SEX MAD, which is still on the stands at some locations. It is currently being replaced with a special 72-page tribute issue: A FAREWELL TO THE PRINCESS WE ALL LOVED.”
Statement published by the National Enquirer, August 31, 1997

Me to parents of young children: "You must never offer them endless dinner alternatives. It's the road to madness." Me to my cat: "You don't like the shrimp-topped tuna? Shall we open a can of the chicken breast? Maybe some IAMS?"

I think when Cory Doctorow was talking about the enshittification of everything he specifically meant printers.

All I want is a printer with no wifi or software or scanning devices or updates or pricier-than-gold-ink. Just one that I can plug into my laptop and print something out. I don't know why this is so hard, EVERY TIME.

Netflix is confused by my viewing habits, mostly because I choose things to leave on for the dogs when I go out. Most recently they have watched all but the last two episodes of The Diplomat, and a good chunk of Shrill.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

This explanation makes me sad: Alex Preston is properly taking responsibility, but what a bloody *stupid* way to torch your reputation (and your ability to write for quite a few outlets) to save a few minutes. As he's taken responsibility and not made excuses I feel able to say: poor guy.

Our lovely local Evri driver has just been fired after five years with the company. He was working 12-15 hours a day with two days off a month, and being paid £1.05 a parcel. Evri decided to drop that to 72p. They can do it because he is classed as self-employed. This is our gig economy, folks.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it. All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow. WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.
