As you boil in the heat, never forget that all those people who for decades have deliberately and maliciously disrupted efforts to tackle climate change are probably sitting comfortable in their large air conditioned houses. Houses funded on the back of lies/misinformation they helped propagate.

Feels like a lot of STEM guys believed coding was the hardest thing a human could do, and assumed that once somebody invented an AI that can code, it would follow naturally that the AI can do all of the lesser non-coding things that other dumber people were doing

Did work experience at a local museum when I was young, and they constantly had people asking them if stuff was important/valuable, which they took in good humour because people were engaged, but virtually always the answer was "No, but that's good, because otherwise you'd have stolen antiquities."

and everyone inevitably says "arrr"
so you interrupt and go "NAY! me first love be the C"

that's pretty good, right?

Eluned Morgan is a classic example of the glass cliff, in which women are more likely to break the "glass ceiling" (i.e. achieve leadership roles in, for example, business, government etc) during periods of crisis or downturn when the risk of failure is highest

On a personal level, I feel sorry for Eluned Morgan. It was a big deal that she was the first woman to be First Minister. Say what you want about her, but to suggest the Labour result is just down to her is wrong.

While there were huge shortcomings in how she led the Welsh Government, the seeds of today WERE PLANTED LONG AGO. If Labour try to pin this all on her and fail to learn lessons, they will continue in their spiral.

Yeah I can't get behind the glee for her being out, or WL's collapse. It's reasonable to expect that Plaid will have an even harder job to get through to Westmin. if Starmer stays (not that this is a reason to vote WL). He really did not give two shits about this election. She must be livid.
