Tweeted that this looks like a manual about end-of-life care for lesbians and think I might let it stand as my last ever tweet.

At this point the comparison between Ford and Musk is probably unfair to Ford

I ruddy bloody love the Map Men Map Men Map Men Men Men

Sad to hear this. She was great in everything I ever saw her in and she always came across as a nice person. And as Tom Good said in that episode where they nearly do wife swapping, she had a very sexy neck. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think this lesson will gradually be learnt. AI tools absolutely can make people who know what they're doing much more efficient and (urgh) productive. It's a massive folly to believe that it can replace them.

If this is not an extremely important point: The draft bill would not ban the state-sanctioned abuse of Alan Turing.

OMG

Every summer you'll get a grey day or two after a long bit of hot sun and these gits will be "that's summer over". They were doing it back in May when summer hadn't even started yet. the most slappable of gits.

The use of the word, and concept, 'prom' in the uk should fill us all with the same sharp, sudden pain we feel when a beloved ancient tree dies
