The beauty of that is truly remarkable. These are friendships that can last a lifetime. Dogs exhibit loyalty and affection more profoundly than any human, demonstrating their unwavering commitment.

That is a genuinely brutal view of not just children but a lot of people. Like, there is no denying that having language changes the SHAPE of thought, but to still believe that it creates the capacity entire? 😬

The final series of Picard was one in which everyone under 25 was infected with mind control that causes them to form a hive mind, which could only be defeated by the boomer Enterprise crew in their network-free vintage spaceship. And you want to make it *more* anti-woke?

Headliners must rethink what their job is. Do please consider your companies a not for profit public entity in times so divided. What is your mission in life? To be alive and help at least your own stay alive, at a very basic level? Exactly. Thank you for your service.

... people don't understand that they are not funded to provide free entry, and front-of-house staff who sometimes face vitriol from would-be visitors faced with a charge when they, in their words, 'don't have to pay in London'.

This piece is wrong in so many ways. Only National museums in the UK are subsidised to allow free entry. Most others already have to charge everyone, including small, volunteer run places. This means foreign tourists already pay to go to, say, Salisbury or Devizes museum if they want to see...

I know that the in doctrine in English politics is to imagine that cities are occupied by, I don’t know, ghosts, but it is in fact a good and desirable policy aim that all our core cities (aka “population centres”) have good, free museums and galleries.

So how about this for a "pause AI" proposal: "pause credulous AI reporting". No more media about "breakthroughs" or "rogue agent swarms" or ... UNLESS and UNTIL that media demands the actual empirical evidence and/or focuses on the motivations of & harms by these companies.
