Sjelden jeg gidder å henge meg opp i svake fotballkommentatorer, men når man topper litt svak fotballforståelse med null forsøk på å uttale spillernavn riktig blir det for dumt. Det er lov å bruke noen minutter på forberedelse. #VGTV

The full report by the Tony Blair Institute is out, in which they detail how copyright should be "rebooted" in the AI age. It reads like a big tech lobbying document. I hope they will be asked serious questions at its launch in London today.

Some very brief highlights:

PSA, for whomever needs it right now:

The five Tiffany Aching novels by Terry Pratchett have an audiobook edition read by Indira Varma (with Peter Serafinowicz for the Nac Mac Feegle) and it is *wonderful*.

They think Enola Gay is a homosexual airplane in the same way that they think biodiversity is woke.
The military is plans to scrub photos of the Enola Gay, one of the bombers that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, from its website as part of its purge of diversity content.

It's among more than 26,000 images that the Pentagon plans to delete.
