Most pleased by this picture I took of Nelson's column on Tuesday morning. Right time, right place.

The tradition still exists in Cornwall, where it's even more important as the witches sink fishing boats when they're out in their eggshells. A big "no no" not to smash the bottom of your empty egg.

Your charming little potato-dog is the reason this website exists. And perhaps the reason why the internet exists. And maybe the universe too.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

this exists it is called thinking

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

2. They all chortle along, and then suddenly they mean it. This is what we saw when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister. It was still all one big laugh - cheer up, he isn't serious - then 200,000 people were dead with Covid.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

If you stack £1 milion worth of £10 notes the stack is about the height of a three storey house. If you do the same with £1 billion, the stack is as high as commercial aircraft fly. Stop valorising billionaires. They're Smaug the dragon, sitting on their piles of gold. And Smaug's the bad guy.

I'm a teacher and we are being constantly told to use LLMs. Yet teachers should check all output to students in case Something Bad lurks within it. Many don't bother. I'm certain a teacher will soon be fired for something vile in an LLM gen document. And that, as they say, will be that.

Starmer's strategy of copying his competitors' policies is a disgrace. "Those fellas with the black shirts draw a good crowd... Let's do that." "Hassling trans people gets clicks, let's do that." "Racism polls well, let's do that." The man couldn't stick to a principle if it was nailed to him.

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.
