I'm sure it's already been said, but although as Traitors fans we highly approve of the latest storm here in the UK being named Claudia, surely Celia would be more fitting due to all the wind?!(Joking aside, stay safe, people. It's rough out there.) #CelebrityTraitors

Had a somewhat informal and (in my case, critical) conversation at work the other day regarding use of AI tools.
I didn't realise that someone was actually using the AI minute-taking function, and...I'm going to have fun with this in future. 1/

Researchers tested 61 gulls by playing recordings of a male voice shouting, speaking and the neutral birdsong of a robin.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

At this stage, I feel they ought to bring lizardmen conspiracy theorists on to provide balance for every conversation about the royals.

This is a very helpful explainer of what it actually means and looks like for Andrew to have his titles removed.
ON THE BLOG: Prince Andrew and the future of the monarchy
Last month, the royal family announced that Prince Andrew was to have his title and honours removed. Robert Hazell explains what has changed, how it was done, what might still happen, and what this could mean for the monarchy as a whole.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.

Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.
