Reeves says the government is “freezing Russian assets”. But she does not mean Nigel Farage, she says.

Oh almost forgot to wish a happy birthday to Helen (née Richardson) whose birthday was on the 21st of November.
The Indian actress and dancer Helen in a still from the song “Piya Tu Ab Toh Aaja” (Darling, Please Come Now) (1971) which was, er, the height of scandal back in the day

I have a picture of Balthasar. He was supremely uninterested in all my attempts to get him to look my way.
A picture of the New College cat Balthasar in his walks. He appears to be stalking something in the bushes and is roundly ignoring the camera.

*crying in data analysis*
The technical note section of the research, with the survey selection methodology stating that people between 16-74 years of age were interviewed in Britain. This means that: 1. Either there was a very skewed distribution towards people over the age of 50 in the sample OR 2. There’s a bunch of people below the age of 50, who were not born in 1975, who claimed life would have been better in 1975 Either the survey is not well-structured or the headline is misleading.

I WILL BECOME SEEMA AUNTY
Still, there was one date that pricked his conscience. He was doing the usual copy-and-paste, letting ChatGPT do the heavy lifting, “when a girl started talking about how she’d had a bereavement in her family”. ChatGPT navigated her grief with composure, synthesising the kind of sympathy that made Jamil seem like a model of emotional literacy. “It said something like, ‘I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it must be really difficult – thank you for trusting me with it,’” Jamil recalls. When he met the girl in real life, she noted how supportive he’d been in his messages. “I felt bad – I think that was the only time I thought it was kind of dishonest. I didn’t tell her I’d used ChatGPT but I really tried to message her myself after that.”

What
Screen grab of a post on the Classic FM Facebook page. The text says “Happy Birthday, Dimitri Shostakovich! Born on this day 119 years ago”. This is accompanied by a black-and-white picture of a serious, bespectacled young man, who looks suspiciously like Daniel Radcliffe in character as Harry Potter

Sanskrit text in Devanagari: na jāyate mriyate vā kadāchin nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ ajo nityaḥ śhāśhvato ’yaṁ purāṇo na hanyate hanyamāne śharīre Various translations exist of this verse exist . A popular one is: The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. It is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed.

Sensible humans and animals in the UK have been enjoying the sunlight this weekend instead of carrying around hateful signs.
A field right next to a forest. There is a herd of longhorn cattle enjoying the sunlight and blue skies in the field.

I saw this Big Lad of a snail in the morning and he was in a similar spot in the evening. (Alive, don't worry).

"What kind of animal just sits in one place continuously for eight hours!", I thought to myself... "Oh."

🥲
A very chonky snail moving very slowly on a wall. There are some plants behind.
