Also, the idea that the people born in one country could be ontologically evil is fascist shit.

These are good thoughts to think when you realise you're getting furious or feeling incredibly down. Yes you're a complex individual with thoughts and dreams and core beliefs, but you're running that on a rickety machine that needs carbs and occasional downtime

If you spot Venice Allen putting her two pence in it’s worth pointing out that she was actually banned from the ponds for sexual harassment because she kept going up to random pond users demanding they either show her or describe to her their genitals.

I have had, for the last couple of months, had the unshakable and unexplainable thought that spectre of the detritus of British 70s and 80a pop culture will somehow be the power that will vanquish the wrong 'uns in US public life, like a plague found in a defrosted glacier sample.

The disgraced and despised British entertainer’s distinctive look is trending among some film fans on TikTok. Should somebody tell them what he did?

It's kinda interesting that the Greens are proving that the only meaningful and effective competition that can be mounted against Reform is pushing the other way. Similar to what happened in the NYC mayoral race.

Wonder if I should share this thread with some of the AI advocates at work
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Crying in procurement, I’d say “how to ask a question properly (and what questions to ask)” actually is a skill that many have not mastered. (But training on how to use the lie machine won’t solve that
Next bit is about learning new skills for a role transition. Actually, a bit better! Although questionable advice, but we'll overlook that for now.
I can't help feeling that people needing training on "how to ask a question properly" is indicative of something broader going on here.

And this is why bad science nerd bros fall for the most basic shit and end up being terfs and worse
Maths and physics are objective and humanities is subjective.
That's the difference.

Okay, hear me out. What if instead of yet another movie about people miraculously surviving some cataclysmic event, we have a movie where NASA deliberately fires nukes into an asteroid to get it to hit the earth? It could be the hope filled film of the year.

It appears that the Rwanda claim against UK is not based on a badly drafted termination clause, but...
...because the current government did not formally terminate the contract in time, hence the payments still due and owing.
If true, whoopsie.

"We're going to train people how to not think for themselves, and in doing so deny them the opportunity to learn new skills."
It's like the medieval church. "Don't bother learning Latin yourself. No need to read the bible; just trust the priests."
