If I'd rushed into a poorly planned campaign around a notorious maritime choke point that left it closed to friendly shipping I'd carefully lay off the Churchill comparisons, but hey...

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality and soul.

I was arrested by Libyan police and released on the orders of the Libyan secret police.

The combination of violence, childish pride and ignorance shown by US politicians is truly depressing.

There was a story in the paper yesterday about there being not enough places on private jets for all the rich people trying to get out of Dubai. While I have sympathy for anyone living in fear, I did lose the tiny violin I was about to play for this group of people when my pet mouse inhaled it.

New AI infrastructure poses a “serious threat to efforts to decarbonise the electricity grid”

They’re killing children to distract us from all the children they’ve killed.

Now that the tiny fisted orange sex pest has started his short, victorious war, should we be on the lookout for Iranian torpedo boats in the North Sea...? #SecondIranianSquadron #Kamchatka

Images of the Severn estuary fish traps from the archives of the Thornbury and District Museum. Showing 20th century, kipe, butt and forewheel elements. All three elements would have been connected with withy ties and fixed to the foreshore with large stakes. #coastalhistory #tcdtceh #coastsinmind

Icebreakers: Cracking Through the Cold📣 Unlike an ice-strengthened ship, these are designed explicitly with cutting ice in mind. These sturdy vessels operate in polar waters and other waterways that are frozen over during winter. 🧊🚢 hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/whats-on/sto...

Oh I shall be using this tool a lot, I think...

I see trawling scars in bathymetry data all the time. The scale of seabed impact is staggering.

Huge news for Ceredigion & west Wales. Imperial #Roman lead mines on Cardigan Bay were under the control of Domitian by AD 87 as confirmed by the discovery of these lead pigs Only the 5th & 6th ingots ever found in Wales 😮 www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

A year from now, when AI has exploded our economy into a nasty little recession, not one of its boosters will apologize. Being a capitalist means never having to say you’re sorry

Sometimes I like to reimagine conspiracy theories, but in a way that would piss off a lot of terrible people. Like after the debacle at Stonehenge, the ancient aliens decided to never work with white people ever again. Just saw no potential there whatsoever.

The boy is in Nottingham for the weekend. He appears to be getting the hang of it.

Ending the monarchy wouldn’t automatically mean a polarising, all-powerful president. In many republics, the role is neutral and constitutional. Here’s what that could actually looks like.

Found out where the cat has been sleeping...

Barlands Farm boat which dates from the 3rdC AD belongs to a "Romano-Celtic' tradition. With its mast step confirming propulsion by sail, this relatively sophisticated vessel may owe more to late #IronAge traditions. #Archaeology #RomanBritain #FindsFriday #History #Sailing
