As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

My dad told me a story about having a drink with Mr Lovell at some local dive bar when this sequence was being filmed for The Man who Fell to Earth back in the 1970's.
My dad said Mr. Lovell had a lot to say about space and what he saw there...
I'll leave it at that.
Rest in peace, spaceman.

Found one of my favourite music clips again, which always feels like it has drifted in from another dimension. From the introduction, to the stage set, to the cast of characters, to the music itself, it all feels like a dream: Pete Drake & His Talking Steel Guitar - 'Forever'

Tourism is a key aspect of the Highland economy, and it's important that we're sensitive with the introduction of such a scheme, but there has been a 65% increase in tourist numbers since 2012 and local infrastructure has not kept up with these demands.

Really important to drive home that not only are large language models not conscious entities, they never can be. They are not the rough early prototype of artificial general intelligence. An LLM is as fundamentally capable of thought as a sofa

Delighted to find this superb song on my daughter’s playlist. Apparently it’s become popular on TikTok and was also used recently in Hacks. So wonderful when a great artist finally starts to get his due.
