Is everyone in this government just exceptionally thick or what (from the Graun)
Screenshot of a Guardian article about AI and copyright. Text reads: Faced with a concerted backlash from some of the country's most famous celebrities, officials are looking for ways to offer them extra protections. One could be to allow creative industries to opt in to the new system, while offering AI companies the use of mass media such as journalism for free unless those companies opted out. Another would be to allow British AI companies to benefit from an opt-out system, while forcing their US counterparts to secure consent before accessing copyrighted material.

My New Year's resolution last year was to read 24 books - I realized how badly out of the habit I was and I wanted to change it

Happy to report I achieved nearly double what I hoped for!

And, uh, this paragraph does not fill me with confidence about the caliber of her work
Screenshot of her letter to the King - she says that Shakespeare has been systematically cancelled and that no one at Oxford is allowed to say that Shakespeare is unique, universal or timeless

Pacific Rim meme - three panels of the scientist guy standing in front of a massive chalkboard covered in calculations. The text reads "In the beginning the Trump assassination attempts were spaced apart 24 weeks, then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. In 4 days we could be seeing one every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days"

Calvin and Hobbes comic. First panel: Calvin asks his mom "Mom, can I have some money to buy a Satan-worshipping, suicide-advocating heavy metal album?" Second panel: Calvin's mom replies, "Calvin, the fact that these bands haven't killed themselves in ritual self-sacrifice shows that they're just in it for the money like everyone else. It's all for effect. If you want to shock and provoke, be sincere about it." Third panel: Calvin says, "Mainstream commercial nihilism can't be trusted?" His mom replies "Fraid not, kiddo" Fourth panel: Calvin walks away dejected, saying "childhood is so disillusioning"
