Merry Christmas to you all from me. I hope you’ve all had, or are having, a great day. If you can’t be with your close ones you can let them know that you care about them and miss them.

Craig and Susan are being as patient as can be expected – mostly because they can't reach the ribbons.

'Rights groups condemn new record number of executions in Saudi Arabia'
Something to think about as you see the logo of Saudi oil giant Aramco plastered across Cricket World Cups (the ICC proudly state that their partnership "extends beyond traditional sponsorship").

In the end, the remarkable result was in vain for England, as Australia won two of the last three games to win the series.
England women wouldn't win another Test against Australia until regaining the Ashes in 2005.

Today marks the anniversary of the start of the 1984 Women's Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval.
The game remains one of the greatest games in women's Test history, and saw England stage a remarkable comeback victory.

They think writers can be replaced because they don't understand what writing is effective, yes, but don't discount the desire to cut human labor out of the process entirely, not just for "cost savings" but because the management class and especially the investor class just fucking hate humans.
Is that why people think that ChatGPT and other AI(?) could replace authors - the people in management can't recognize good writing and so assume that no one else can, either? It seems like that would quickly be dismissed witjh any sort of beta readership, but.
