OK, strap in….
Here is part 2 of the “Tesco/(insert other brand) are cancelling Christmas” claims!

TL:DR? Christmas is alive and well everywhere you look.
And so too, sadly, is manufactured Christmas rage baiting.
Here is just 7 day’s worth of Daily Mail Christmas Rage bait

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. They're not calling anymore. Ate them.

This is a 🧵of things that feel awesome. Add your own.
The pleasure of taking off constricting shoes & clothing at the end of a day.
When the cat falls asleep in a bagel on your hip and you can feel the moment it goes completely boneless.
When a toddler uses you as trusted steadying furniture.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

So,as a little thought-experiment, tell me something about the United Kingdom that works well and is actually quite impressive. I am not trying to sound like some boosterish politician. I just genuinely believe that making people believe that all is lost is a convenient pretext for shady characters.

Today is (usually) St. George’s Day AND Shakespeare’s birthday, so here’s a thread of English phrases (mostly individual inventions rather than common idioms), starting with this…
The best English term I’ve heard for those who sit at home and act tough behind a computer screen is “101st Chairborne”

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
