this is one of the many "free speech" claims which is "I was not given a platform by one group which is oppression" but the way they instantly leap to a Gleichschaltung style response is pretty scary (on top of everything else obviously)
Reform is threatening Bangor University over a student society’s decision. The society isn’t Bangor University—but this is a neat preview of how a Reform government would work: public money for supporters only. Trump-style politics, UK edition.

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

found out there's a whole privately run scheme here in the UK offering "access cards" for disabled people to tell venues etc what access needs they have. you have to pay money and then GET ASSESSED by this private company through sending supporting documents

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

"Packers won the superbowl" comes to mind a lot for no particular reason
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

for Americans: the only reason the Epstein connection is being used against starmer is cause he's already so unpopular, it's not a sign of any wider reckoning about political culture or a sign of greater accountability

ran into a friend at a cafe who mentioned his wife is having an emotional affair with chatgpt, missed that the "chat model was much hornier last spring," and that they're getting divorced but her chat & his chat negotiated the terms of the divorce over several weeks. They were together for 18 yrs.
most cafe conversations blend into the background for me, but as soon as a man starts the “do you use ChatGPT? I’ve started using it for…” conversation within a 10 table radius, I feel my brain short circuiting

Cuban government has informed airlines that they only have about 24 hours worth of fuel left for planes.

stuff like this is extra weird cause, even if you ignore any concerns about long term effects, surely it makes sense to avoid illness when you're about to do the most important event of your professional life?
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining
