Oh I'm terribly, terribly British
That's what I like about me.
I belong to the type
Who has tweeds and a pipe
Because I'm terribly British, you see.

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.
Completely, terrifyingly innocent.
And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.
Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

The only solution to the increase of AI slop and its creep into normal people’s style choices is to write and speak with deranged and unpredictable flair.
Drip quotes and allusions, syntax so specific it cannot be modelled however large the data centres.

In the wake of President Trump’s reëlection, the number of aggrieved Americans seeking a new life abroad appears to be rising. The Netherlands offers one way out.

Born 100 years ago today, Sammy Davis Jr. was a true all-around entertainment legend. Singer, dancer, actor, comedian and vaudeville star, he rose from the Will Mastin Trio to global fame with unmatched talent and charisma.

![4 panel comic showing the origin of Ada Lovelace
1. Ada was the daughter of "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" poet and nutcase Lord Byron.
[A dramatic Lord Byron drawn with a quill in one hand and desperate romantic admirers clinging around him]
2. Her mother Anabel fled her husband but was afraid their daughter would inherit his WILD BLOOD!!
[Woman fleeing from him with a swaddled baby in arms]
3. ADA MUST NEVER BECOME POETICAL!
[Stern looking woman, possibly her mum but maybe a governess, standing while grimly declaiming, while in a the background a small girl reads a book]
ONLY ONE THING HAS THE POWER TO SUBDUE POETRY..
4. ...MATHEMATICS!!
[Drawing of a young Ada engrossed in a book about ADVANCED CALCULUS]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreidcxkn3sxzfze7ethmmm6l63hu7kbnacnayjnhqk3rhrlrvskfkzu@jpeg)

Idly wondering if the solution to racists 'wanting their country back' is for all countries to build theme parks where the bigots have to go and live, where technology is reversed 50 years and they have it all as they think they remember. Then tourists can come and pay to look at them.

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich college which charges £55,155 a year.
He then went on to be a Stock Trader like Rishi Sunak, he has never worked a day in his life.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
