This is 100% true. Everybody was excited about the internet. We were all fucking delighted that we had an easy way to contact our friends who moved out of town and also a massive new source of fanfic

London is an odd place to pick to be scared of. Too many people have been to London. They should pick, idk, Sunderland. No non British people have been there so you can make up anything you want.

My T-shirt saying “the Russians hacked me and released information about my previously secret £5m gift“ has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

What on earth does she think the point of citing a source *is*

Not just the US, I had a woman in Mombasa express genuine fear for my wellbeing upon finding out I live here.

This looks interesting by I have lost the capability of reading such a long text unless its a paper book

The three jobs most at risk from genrative AI are 1 Butcher 2 Baker 3 Candlestick Maker

"sir, we have a problem. It's the dickheads" "Oh god, what now?" "Sir, I don't quite know how to say this but... They're *organising*" "... May God have mercy on our souls"

Weird how he doesn’t see his own job being automated away despite it being the easiest one to replace with an LLM.

This remains a very funny hill to die on for me Like yes, you should confirm your citation says the thing you’re citing it for! It’s bad if your whole field is fucking up a common citation! I get yelled at by a judge and potentially sanctioned if I do this

Stycke för stycke. Börjar med historieförfalskningen som är artikelns inledning. 1. Det har ALDRIG varit en stridsfråga, utom för SD. 2. Vi är INTE ÖVERENS. Vi VAR överens innan NI bytte fot. 3. Det har varit ETT tvärt kast, ert 2016. 4. Högt tonläge mot fascister är arbetarrörelsens paradgren.

Former prosecutor calls for EU statute blocking US sanctions on ICC members

Does this matter for anything? Honest q I absolutely have no idea.

Amazingly im better at African than US geography. In Africa there are at least proper countries and mainly on the coast where countries should be. The US is like "tap as close as you can to Glockville, Carkansa"

He’s living in 3026 over here. What a life hack.

Tempted to start subscribing to The Atlantic to read the Miller Lite article

If you could make money from Americans and Brits arguing in your mentions @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com would be rich

sometimes I wonder if people in other fields have any clue what we go through as women in computational fields... (graph from: www.npr.org/sections/mon...)

Det finns tre Jysk butiker i Norra Norrlands inland (i Kiruna, Gällivare och Lycksele). Det är också dom enda tre tätorter med mer än 5000 invånare.

I am worried about the Americans. I no longer understand anything they write

23 degrees projected tomorrow then the heatwave is over

aren’t you supposed to hold the nail with your pinched fingers idk

get in. no time to explain

This was a nice interview. That fertilizer prices make an impact on food prices one year *later* not now seems very reasonable. And that Europe is more dependent on electricity prices than oil prices also seems reasonable

Columnists are not paid to know things. They are paid to not know things.

Genuinely rather funny

Wait can he do that? How? This should not be something a pm is legally allowed to do

I obviously dont know whats going on w the US economy. But this is one data point pointing one way. Other data points point other ways. This stuff is difficult. But saying some data point is "fact" is just plain dumb. Except perhaps for life expectancy thats at least well defined and measurable

20 degrees at 9 in the morning? tf is this?

”Som vi ser det finns i huvudsak två vägar framåt: Förbud mot vinster och aktiebolag i skolan…” Tack för bra förslag Marcus Strömberg. Så gör vi! www.svd.se/a/K8Pv1e/aca...

"the scale of the betrayal of its Brexit promises" The UK voted to leave EU. It left EU. So what does this sentence even mean?

Entirely evidence-free wibbke from @rentouljohn.bsky.social/ @the-independent.com here. Has cutting immigration been good for growth or public services? No. Has it reduced racism/community pensions? Also no. Has it helped Labour politically? Also no. Also LOL But.. "it's a good story"

Yes mom We need this for cigarette night and im throwing a fit if we dont have it

Counterpoint: No I will not

you mean it's going to change the nature of what work is done and be dislocating but not eliminate jobs overall and make some things dramatically faster but with accompanying costs both financial and in terms of product quality, just like past transformative automation technologies???? so weird

They are getting desperate now they want to dump the company on pension funds

Feels like there's a non-zero risk that this ends with Trump bombing Iran this weekend out of social embarrassment.

Currently its Bing or DuckDuck go. But for most things one is better of simply using the search button inside wikipedia

Really think we could stand to drop the utterly credulous headline style of "Billionaire says doorway to Narnia will be open by 2027"

It's just obvious that there is no good reason, at all, for the government to legislate what toilets you can go into. This is a thing that civil society was quite capable of working out. We're here because the GCs found civil society didn't share their rabid obsessive hatred so they played the refs.

The Brits are debating which is the second city in the UK. Luckily the UN has released a report with an objective definition. Biggest cities in Europe are: 1 Istanbul 15.0M 2 Moscow 14.5M 3 London 10.4M 4 Paris 9.4M 5 Madrid 5.6M ... 12 Birmingham 2.6M ... 15 Manchester 2.5M So its Birmingham

We had a farewell for two Chinese coworkers today. This means the chinese % at our unit has dropped below the 50% that is mandatory for medical universities (before 8/15 now 6/13). Luckily a new Chinese PhD will arrive in a month bringing us back to 7/14

"Musk in a post on X said a hydraulic pin holding the launch tower’s arm in place did not retract" I guess this is Musk speech for "we will delay this until this company has been dumped on pension funds" www.ft.com/content/15c6...
