Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I look at these and cannot help thinking that nothing would be worse, and many things would be better if none of these people had done anything.

Flummoxed by the lines taken by the health reporters.
This look like an excellent story of the continued adaptation of NHS capacity to winter pressure. Of a sort many thought the system would not be able to do.
Why are they trying to torture the numbers into a 2022-3-like disaster? It isn't one.
