I was once young, but now I am old, and I remember many, many viruses, exploits, bugs and crashes that happened because of the tiny, insignificant errors that crept into even the most carefully crafted, exhaustively QA'd software over the decades. I shudder to think of what's to come.
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

heh, just remembered how in Friends there's a plot arc where Monica is dating this rich tech bro guy, and at one point she discovers that he's spent a lot of money on a "ring designer" and wants to talk to her about something important, and so she gets really excited that he's going to propose...

I mean, the fucking state of it, that the leader of the governing party would have to make assurances that he would still be in power two and a half years into his first term after winning around two thirds of the seats in Commons.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Fascinated by how The Ratio manifests on this site.
Back on the Cursed Site, the replies:retweets:likes ratio was pretty reliably somewhere between 1:5:20 and 1:10:100 (reliably enough that tweets whose engagement fell well outside those ratios were highlighted as examples of Bad Tweets).

A lot of people know that some of the population find that coriander/cilantro tastes "soapy," but people don't necessarily know *why*.

The version I heard (from a friend in PR who used to work there) was that the PR person on a Walliams gig "had to be" a young, pretty woman, but that the young, pretty woman was always told never to be alone in a room with him.
HarperCollins staff "were told to work in “pairs” when meeting Walliams and were advised not to visit his home." This guy visited schools.

An early Christmas present for those of us in the #KidLitUK community who've been waiting YEARS for the other shoe to finally drop. Harper Collins knew all about it. They paid off staff to keep their mouths shut. Shame on them, shame on him, and good riddance.
Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

Fascinated by the Beachy Head Woman story.
Her remains were possibly uncovered in the 1950s and promptly vanished into a collection at Eastbourne Town Hall.
Someone realised what they were looking at in 2012 and she was studied.

Lots of people reposting/quoting the top tweet, but the shot definitely needs the chaser. Obviously Harlequin knows AI can't translate, but they'll use it to force translators to cut their fees.
