I’ve done a cliche! Here’s a Gemini produced infographic of my end of year blog post: jonminton.github.io/jon-blog/pos...

I’m now being overly sycophantic to Claude by suggesting its single letter substitution is actually a really clever shorthand for describing Vince Gilligan’s new TV show #pluribus

As a stats in-joke I thought redesigning the “Breaking Bad” titles to say “Breaking Blind” would be fun, so I asked Claude to have a go at this. It helpfully pointed out that “Bl” isn’t a real element, but decided that “Bk” must be good enough as it’s just 1 letter away.

Someone on ‘the other place’ just unearthed and reposted this data vis I made a couple of years ago. Such is the decline in engagement- there or here- that even 8 likes now looks impressive!

Am I reading too much into the hyphen here? If it had said “45,47” it would mean “I won. I lost. I won again.” But “45-47” suggests “I never lost and I’m taking a third term because the second was stolen from me”

Spotted in Hull last week: a hot dog that’s both 87% pork AND halal (and vegan)
