Plenty of nonsense, occasional content and service design and strategy. Taking a break, not really here right now.
I’m going to have to take a little time off social media because apparently there aren’t enough words I can mute to avoid having to hear about things I can’t do anything about and I just need a little break from. Which is a shame because the stupid jokes are fun.

EXC - MPs and peers who backed the assisted dying bill now believe it is “near impossible” for it to pass the House of Lords in time because of procedural obstacles used by opponents.
“It is our system at its absolute most dysfunctional,” one MP said.

The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

I am 100% behind this opinion on less and fewer.
Fewer is only for countables.
But less is for both countables and uncountables. Whichever sounds best.
Anyone claiming otherwise knows fewer history than me.

He lost me at 'fewer than 24 hours'... this level of over-correction (which isn't even right) makes me want to puke. Yes, hours are countable but time is a continuum, so just say 'less than' and don't make yourself look like a fussy little wanker into the bargain.

Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern.
Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

If I did 1% of what X is currently doing I would rightly be arrested not referred to fucking Ofcom.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.
