The reason for that is vaccines. Without them, some of you reading this wouldn’t have made it to adulthood.

Surprised how indignant a lot of people are about Davie’s resignation, given how relentlessly the BBC is criticised on here.
I don’t say the BBC should be beyond criticism. Far from it. But it’s not just the right that’s been steadily undermining it.

Recently met someone who was very surprised to hear I didn’t use ChatGPT or any LLM.
I said my job depended on doing distinctive work. That was my selling point. If I started to sound like ChatGPT and turn out what it did, then how on earth could I justify doing it? What would that make me?

Don’t do this. I’m mortified.

Fantastic episode: really thoughtful and balanced.
In the late spring of 1903, my grandmother (aged 8), her 3 younger sisters and their mother all caught diphtheria. The two youngest sisters both died, within a day of each other, one (pictured below) aged 4 years and one 10 months.
