I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Why are people suddenly pearl clutching over income tax thresholds? Where have you been for the last 4.5yrs? The freeze has been in place since Apr 2021, when Chancellor Sunak froze them from 2021 to Mar 2026! Then Chancellor Hunt froze them further in Autumn 2022 to Mar 2028! 1/2

Remember the TV show Wife Swap? Can we do the same but with algorithms? People of opposing views live with each other social media for two weeks. I think that would be very interesting TV to watch.

When I turn on my TV I don't want to select a profile, see a load of adverts and apps then press guide then scroll to a channel and press select. I want it to immediately tune to BBC1 or ITV like TVs did successfully for decades. This is not progress.

No PM, they weren't the right decisions. The right decisions would have been reversing the 5% loss to the economy caused by Brexit; taxing the rich; not promising tax cuts to US tech companies; closing the loop holes allowing Amazon etc to get away with paying very little tax...

Every year since he was 11, my son has created a handmade birthday card for me based on Calvin & Hobbes. The one on the left was the first, and I've watched his draughtsmanship grow with each year. #SundayPixHandmade
A hand-drawn card showing the cartoon characters Calvin and Hobbes walking together.Calvin is making a card and the speech bubble says: "It's Relentless! I finish one card and by the time it's in the envelope I already have to make the next one! A kid can only have so many ideas, Hobbes, How many birthdays can one woman have?"

Hobbes replies: "I mean, one a year seems pretty reasonable.

"What did I say, Roy?" "That this is prime real estate in a strategic location and they can go fuck themselves."
An image from the BBC news site where the headline reads "Relocation of Gazans would be temporary, Rubio says."An image of Roy and Renée from The Fast Show, showing them seated on a train with a table in front of them. She has a blonde bubble perm and is wearing a lilac jacket. He's sporting a moustache and is wearing a yellow and blue polo shirt with a light blue summer jacket.  Renée just made a statement and has asked Roy to repeat it.
