Quite a tell about the quality of the work often done by these consulting firms. If their work is interchangeable with LLM slop, it means their human-authored reports are also slop (at least at times). Governments and higher ed admins, take notice!

YouTube video by David Von Pein's JFK Channel NBC-TV COVERAGE OF JFK'S ASSASSINATION ON NOVEMBER 22, 1963 (6+ HOURS)

I will always recommend the Sean Duffy series from Adrian Mckinty, especially if you liked Say Nothing. Gallows-humor detective novels set during the Troubles.

I’m really surprised this isn’t bigger news. Just under 10 million people live in Tehran. Where can they go? Where else in Iran will have enough water? This will undoubtedly strain the country’s and the region’s politics, finances and governance capacity.
