Watching England go full England is one of the great delights of every World Cup. Almost thought we weren't going to get it this year. But they were saving it up. Bravo

R Mason Thomas brought me the most joy in football this year, so here's: $5 for each sack (6.5) $15 for the 3 times I remember cackling as QBs spiked balls in terror when they saw him come free off the edge run the ball (or R Mason will get you) @edsbs.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social

I would be curious where people draw the line in terms of using AI as a tool vs. recognizing that the AI has done the work for you. It seems intentionally blurry. Is the former even possible? I encourage students and colleagues to abstain altogether but that seems less and less possible today

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

German Town Deli in downtown Ottawa. Incredibly simple sandwiches. Thick ham, good butter, on a fresh baked roll. A few other types, but the ham he made himself. The best potato salad I've ever had to boot. That and a coke for $5-$6. Gone since 2016ish, when the old German guy retired. Too soon!

So OpenAI is actively marketing ChatGPT to students during college finals season in the U.S. We've talked many (many) times before about the kinds of harm that can come from giving over too much epistemic and heuristic authority over to these systems, but additionally, there's been at least three…
