Well that's a depressing read. It also underlined our troubling attitude to the conflict. We never properly backed Ukraine, we didn't destroy the Russian economy, we pushed Iran away...

Throwing Ukrainian gains away. Enabling Russia.

It's funny isn't it? It was Heseltine's crew that opened this door - very literally he and Thatcher. It's true that later on he did bemoan where things went, but when you mess your room you'd better be prepared to tidy it up.

Oh, Gwar never change.
Please, never change.

Thing is, parrots are fascinating birds with complex social & (potentially) internal lives. The opposite of an LLM

Wait... The first paragraph is clearly an admission of corruption

Staggeringly stupid

It's also what happens when you throw in with someone who is clearly not your friend. Weak

Fellow asthmatic here. Coach Jerry is right.

Also the biggest polluters by far are industrial, environmental degradation & transport

Unlike state, I care for my disabled son every single day. And in many ways that's as unBritish as it gets.

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘stop doing this to him’ Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’

Zelda Williams description of gen ai is great. I can't imagine how devoid of empathy you'd need to be to send a faked up video of someone's deceased father to their kid.

I'm old enough to remember when techbros said this about web browsers. That worked really well ...

Now do sports coaches.

This is really great but there's a few caveats. It's only open to 2000 artists - it's not universal. So people will still be forced to apply.

That the Irish government have noticed 40% profit from investment is heartening too.

Bad movies: is Ridley Scott right to say that 60% of films stink? Napoleon director Ridley Scott has declared the history of film to be overwhelmingly rubbish – with a few notable exceptions

Between this and this (see link), pretty troubling times for my kids.

Apols if that's the case.

In my [poor] defence my toddler has had me up at 3am every day for the last few days so I am not entirely sure what I'm doing.

I don't know him Jeff, it's not like we're best mates or anything. I'm pretty familiar with his tv writing tho - Legion being particularly great.

Maybe it's not for you Jeff - that's ok . We've met btw- hello from Edinburgh!

Yes. But you don't know what happened before. You're just seeing the experiments post decanting for all you know. Or maybe there wasn't any cryo.. Who knows - it's just not explained. Hawley isn't interested in explaining everything to the viewer. That's one of his hallmarks. And he's right imo.
