Quick reminder to us GenXers or older -

"If you were born before 1970 and haven't had #measles, mumps or rubella (german measles) or vaccines...you can ask your GP for MMR vaccine."

We didn't all catch this stuff when we were littlies, so we're not all protected!

MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine
Find out about the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, including who should have it, when it's given and possible side effects.

@dankaszeta.bsky.social Dan do you know any such experts? I know it's not your topic but you seem well-networked.
Any experts on #WW2 National Registration Identity Cards? Photo not commonly included - was it because he worked at Lyness Naval Base? Date is 1940. Not seeing anything similar online. #NorthWallsAndBrims #Orkney

This is just amazing stuff.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.

I wonder whether Charlie Downes goes to church?
Charlie Downes (Restore Britain, campaign director): "More than anything, it is Christian faith. Ancestry and it is Christian faith"

Alex Phillips: "So if you are not a Christian, you can't be British?"

CD: "Well. You are certainly less British if you are not a believer in Christian principles".

I’ve watched a very smart child try to encode what chaptgpt thinks is “human” so that her class assignments don’t get flagged for plagiarism.

I’ve heard expert professionals admit to self-editing so they don’t “sound” like an llm.

This is the kind of cultural flattening that accelerates fascism.
“As some universities and journals adopt AI-text detectors, they risk creating a feedback loop that constrains how authors express themselves. I have seen colleagues intentionally simplify their grammar or break down complex rhetorical structures to avoid arousing algorithmic suspicion.”

The Tories stole Royal Mail, sold it to their mates and then the company:
* paid huge salaries to execs
* paid huge bonuses to execs for meeting fake performance goals
* paid out £2bn in dividends to shareholders
* has invested little in its business
* has provided a poor-quality delivery service

“Your guy is late.”
“It’s only been five minutes, chill.”
"Something doesn't feel right."
“Everything’s fine, Dave.”
"You sure this is the spot?"
"Yes."
"And you know this guy is cool?"
"Yes, just relax."
"Don't give him the money until-"
"Until I see the kibble, yes I know."

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

HOT FUZZ was released 19 years ago today. The second entry in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy and one of the most beloved British comedies this century, the tale of how it was made is like firing two guns whilst jumping through the air…

At international development conferences, overspeakers are forced to reforecast their budget and ask the donor for a no-cost extension.
At @imc-leeds.bsky.social over-speakers are chased off the dias by someone dressed in full armor, wielding a sword ⚔️
At Wordsworth conferences, a laughing band of dancing daffodils rush the stage and carry the over-speaker off on a couch

Just remembered the time my mother read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", thinking it was Pete McCarthy's "The Road to McCarthy". She couldn't understand why all her friends thought it was so funny.
