We shouldn't have a Quiet Carriage on the train. We should have a NoisyCcarriage. If you want to watch or listen to the phone without headphones, or have loud and never-ending conversations, you go and sit in the Noisy Carriage. The rest of the train is de facto Quiet. Who's with me?

Back when the AI boom began I thought people would regret the failure of the semantic web. I'm at a data event in Barcelona, and baby, it's back. Big time. Time to brush up on your XSLT. I mean, I've been able to mention UNVTD formats and people have understood what I am talking about.

A video being shared online supposedly shows an “asylum seeker” saying he wants “more money and more freedom”, and isn’t happy with how he’s being treated in the UK. But the clip is AI-generated. Here’s how we know 👇

FWIW, I think abandoning the triple lock would be a mistake, not because it's so expensive, but because if it is state pensions - which are already miserly - will be degraded over time and (again) old people will be forced to claim benefits to be able to pay their rent.

So, social care. This seems to be framed by older people approaching old age as a cost they will have to bear, meaning they may not have anything to pass on to their children. Care home fees are HUGE, nursing home fees are MASSIVELY HUGE. Many people currently are relying on their inheritance....

The head of the council used to be one of the governors at the local comprehensive school. He resigned when the school went into special measures directly due to the management by the head and some senior leaders, many of whom also resigned. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

Customers cannot be treated as a blank cheque. Where water companies seek to pass unnecessary costs on to households, they will be challenged.”"

I did not know that if you dial 999 but can't speak - for example, if your abuser is close by - dialling 55 next signals that you are in immediate danger and help will be sent. So, 999-55 will get you help. Why don't all women know this?

This is deeply disturbing. HE clearly knows how to restrain and gag women. The other men just glance and look away, like it's normal. Even the woman, who looks worried, did nothing to challenge his behaviour.
