…move along, nothing to see here *whistles nonchalantly* Various things. Very much personal account, I haven't figured out how to do professional social media accounts yet

Actually interesting section on Reform. "To those who say 'unite the right', we are not uniting with that". Says she doesn't want to debate if her mixed-race children are English. "We must not let these people take us backwards." This is a very welcome section, which wins a standing ovation.

Clearly because the road to your museum was the more travelled road.

He's so close to really understanding something about the job and rental market. So close yet so far.

Whether that actually scuppers the tories chances in the election is a different question, of course

I think there's no way she makes it through an election campaign without that happening

If labour aren't for employment rights, they might as well give up and disband now.

Probably as common as arranging to meet at Liverpool St station, and one person ending up at Liverpool Lime St

Whereas in Britain, having wealthy parents, degree, or particular category of work doesn't matter if your previous 7 generations of ancestors don't stack up

So, AI is a sociopath. Good to know

I guess it's possible they simply believe stuff from their own country is ontologically superior to stuff from other countries? Or from a more hippie angle, perhaps that it's better to use only locally sourced stuff? Very generously, it's possible they simply believe they're being screwed on value

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever
A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

Just once, I'd like them to say that there are "unclear material errors"

Well, the RRS (Royal Research Ship) Sir David Attenborough carries Boaty McBoatface, so that checks out.

Well, a ruling is a form of opinion, albeit a highly informed, authoritative, and usually enforceable one. And it certainly is negative to their interests.

No, there are far too many bad people for one of them to take all the credit and let the others off the hook.

Weirdly, the destruction of Warsaw is somehow a good parallel for the destruction of Gaza. Yes, there were guns, but there were also bulldozers coming after to vindictively salt the earth. Also yes, what the Allies did to Dresden was awful too, and nowadays would hopefully be strongly condemned.

Or that it was only the Jews pissed off at being occupied and partitioned among invading major world powers. Again. Poland has a history with this.

Seems unlikely. Don't know enough to say it's impossible, but a lot of big hurdles to any HMRC investigator wanting to go after them. And they presumably already paid considerable tax on the relevant sums as they were declared as profits.

Well, I don't have the cot-caught merger, so I definitely don't do that one. Though I think I don't do this thing in general much at all. What I do more is my fingers get caught in a similar pattern, eg trying to type thought they'll start typing through

ngl "2 doggers, a lad out on the rob for diesel, a fly tipper and an actual terrorist get swept up into an international incident" would be a really funny premise for a slice of life British comedy
