Your yearly reminder that it’s almost time to prepare the prune Krampus
Forget cheese and pineapple hedgehog, every party needs an edible Krampus. Especially knowing how much children love prunes.

This was part of the point of requiring unpaid internships at the BBC btw- replacing a generation of workers whose qualification to get started was a love of the work with a generation of workers whose qualification was the ability to afford to live in London without an income
Journalists who came up through the ranks, knew their readers names, recognised their faces and understood their concerns 1st hand have historically been the backbone of the press. The right-wing corporatization of media has replaced it w an elite “ruling class” corps utterly out of touch w readers
I can’t claim to be neutral. But I am grateful I wasn’t hired at 19 before graduating college and then plummeted into journalism stardom. I was forced to learn my lessons in a small town newspaper where the audience was small but cared deeply when I made my mistakes — and forced me to confront them

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

star wars movies ranked by trains

1. solo (train heist)
2. ESB (pretty sure the special edition has trains on bespin?)
3. rogue one (filmed in canary wharf and i THINK there are trains on scarif)
4. AOTC (no train but there is a bus so they get partial credit)
5. all the others. do better lucasfilm
reminds me of this one tumblr post from eons ago that ranked all the marvel films based on whether they had trains or not. that's the only kind of ranking i care about now.

Would you like to take a break?

A) No

Or

B)No
One of the changes that OpenAI has made to make ChatGPT safer is a "take a break" nudge. There's something quite interesting about the design here. Which thing does it make you want to click?

The British press, Peter included, was unfortunately unable to focus on this at the time as they were busy trying to prevent the far more terrifying prospect of mild social democracy
During one interview with Jones in 2018, Farage argued that “globalists” were trying to engineer a war with Russia “as an argument for us all to surrender our national sovereignty and give it up to a higher global level”.
