It’d be cool, when reporting on a blind visitor suing over lack of access to the Bayeaux Tapestry, the supposed journalist could make it clear that this isn’t at all a ridiculous request. In fact, it’s completely in line with Equality Act 2010. Museums have provided audio forever.

I've banged on about it before but Michael Gillard's book Legacy, on corruption around land around London Olympics involving David Hunt, is a brilliant book. Hopefully this leads to prosecutions... and on the day that his top pal David Sullivan reveals he's suing the BBC too.

Reading proofs from book & remembering what I wrote in 2015: "I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one-dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.”

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

So the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition is not going very well They've sold far too many tickets and the space cannot cope with the physical number of people - how did they not do basic crowd flow/control calculations? Embarrassing that the British cannot organise a queue properly (Not my photo)

Paper flyer from the British Museum apologising for the disruption to your Bayeux Tapestry visit today

It's basically saying 'sorry we may not be able to get you in today, we will try and get you an alternative date but if we can't do this we will refund your ticket'

For those in England & Wales who don’t get them on the NHS: private flu & covid jabs are available from today. I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off.

I don't think anyone can really equivocate on the death penalty in America given that it's not even like, "oh, they might get it wrong!" They *constantly* get it wrong. GOP governors are forever overruling successful appeals or racing courts to kill someone before they're exonerated.

It’s banal and useless to point out the hypocrisy of American conservatism. Nevertheless, every justification I have ever been given for capital punishment is predicated on the firm commitment that things like this won’t happen. Monstrous. Shameful. Raze the prisons to the ground.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused
