used to be that there were literary bots for random lines, then they just started only quoting the most notably dramatic ones and now they select them to directly comment on current affairs. game’s gone.

Does anyone know any good academic literature that discusses how Hildegard of Bingen became popular during the New Age movement and due to second-wave feminist interest in women’s spirituality or Goddess theology?

The state shot &killed people in the uk for decades, colluded with citizens to kill & has frustrated justice in uk courts ever since. Sean Browns widow awaits her day in the Supreme Court. THAT has been a warning siren ringing for decades - the colonial attitude of us being lesser stops them hearing
The death of a legal observer in Minnesota by ICE is a warning to the UK in so many ways. We’re tying ourselves to a violent, corrupt, racist nation which does not care about its citizens. Reform believes in its model, Labour is appeasing it. It is the public who will suffer.

There's a lot of spectacular photography for today's theme. This is not one of them, but I thought it was fun anyway. This poor Coot was struggling to keep hold of food on the ice..

One thing about 'tomorrow never knows' as an album closer is that you'd be forgiven for being worried that your favourite band the beatles were just never going to make a pop song again ... which is great

A liverpool fan asked how to feel about the fulham goal. The wise man bowed his head and said: Inside you at all times are two football fans. One is a deranged partisan who cries for blood and the other is a bizarre aesthete who says 'hmm the beautiful game'. The true sage will not watch football

Pro tip: If you're following the BBC's coverage of the Maduro abduction, it's worth googling the guests to see if they are Venezuelan defence industry entrepreneurs

This is confusing because clearly there is some sense in which something called "Grok" produced text which expresses these sentiments in the first person. Here's the right way to understand this. There are two distinct things that are both called "Grok": a language model and a fictional character.

I can't stop thinking about the hunger strikers - I am so moved by their courage and devastated that we are here. I have taught both militant suffrage and the 1981 Irish hunger strikes in the last month and the long thread of British state violence is chilling.

Ignore this post entirely, let's all focus on the real news, which is the word 'story' has become really offputting to me, precisely because of these cheesy associations.... I'm not a cozy child!!!
