This is incredibly important. I feel deeply that curbing sexual violence will come from raising social expectations of men, not from ‘educating’ them. I fear this is an unpopular view, because people are afraid to face up to the scale of the issue.

This is just a lie. Jack Chambers is lying. We're paying multiples of this.

Basically admitting that they don't know what to do with your money, so you may as well have it back.

Taxes are fucking great. They offer the benefit of bulk buying power while reducing my day to day admin. Not getting the services you need because your government can't figure out how to invest in the country to provide those services SUCKS. Don't get rid of the taxes - Get rid of the government

Jeffrey Archer's death reminds me of the time he told a really boring story while a guest on Dame Edna's show. "Marvellous" said Edna after it petered out to its conclusion, "and I'm sure that'll make a wonderful anecdote someday".

As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.

A late acquaintance of mine during a day of drinking many years ago stood up and said he was heading for a pint. On being presented with the fact that he was in the middle of drinking a pint he answered “No, a proper pint”. We never found out what he meant.

They're playing that song about the Supervet on the radio.

ChatGPT! I presume CharGPT is a niche chatbot for people who are very interested in barbecues and/or Arctic fish.

In their defence they were asking CharGPT to explain their maths homework rather than do it for them, but still.

In depressing news, just overheard a teen on the bus telling another one that "I'm against AI but we *need* it".

I nearly got brained by one on the Luas yesterday.

Also I know it's a minor detail in this cavalcade of twaddle, but they still teach woodwork and pottery in school!

That is a very reasonable thing to be annoyed about!

Kept trying to convince myself of a happier ending in which they all died.

I also had reasonably unfettered access to my Dad's SF book collection, which meant I read I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream at an impressionable age and didn't sleep for about a week.

The Ladybird Three Billy Goats Gruff book. Had it read to me once, refused to have anything to do with it ever again.

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.

Oh this is going to be *gorgeous*.

(both excellent, also you're not going to get AI pretending part of a mostly empty stage is the border between the Netherlands and Prussia, or mic-ing up its own trousers)

Have been to a play and a gig in one night, may have overdosed on culture.

Yeah, his last(? dunno, I stopped caring at that point) novel was unreadable, just a screed of "everything was better in the good old days before all this woke nonsense". Went full-on "old man yells at cloud".

I am still very annoyed that Dan Simmons became a reactionary old bigot because that is an amazing (and extremely well-researched) novel.

That is fascinating though also YIKES. (Have also realized that I know all that I know about scurvy from the incredibly vivid descriptions of it in The Terror)
