y'know, there is a solution to this, and that's to arbitrarily assign Winston Churchill an otter fursona retroactively
You know what would make a great point-and-click adventure game? The Phantom Tollbooth.
The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit
"You boy, what day is this??"
Too many druids are hippies imo.
Give me a druid who says:
"I treat animals the same respect I treat humans." Whilst eating a chicken drumstick.
If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.
Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
one tries one's humble best to be esoterically entertaining and entertainingly esoteric online

whether people like this or not parliamentary democracy has a much better record of incremental progress not being destroyed by the change of administration than literally any other form of government

[Cenobite Voice] We have such tweets to show you
Much like “Little Red Riding Hood” was intended¹ to scare children about forest wildlife for her safety, “Naomi Wolf and ‘Death Recorded’”, the tale of an author whose book's premise is refuted in an interview on live radio, is told to scare authors into doing research

It is impressive that Ed Davey has managed to build a brand as a vastly less serious politician than the hypnoboobs guy.
The hypnoboobs thing remains squarely in the category of "of course it's damning, but I can't really take seriously people who are demanding I take that we prioritise this over things like the UK Government having a basically fascist immigration system"
Almost as if there could be some reason for rising incidents of poor mental heath… Or a whole shitload of reasons.
The time when I was working for a ward whose staff were about 1/3rd Nigerian and 1/3rd Sri Lankan was a great time for bring-and-share lunches.
In comparison, South-East Asia and Tex-Mex, absolutely fine.
The only two meals that I can remember having that were inedibly hot were a) at a Thai restaurant in a random village in the middle of the Lake District, and b) hot wings in a place in Oxford which somehow managed to taste of nothing in particular other than PAIN.
A fascinating thing is the perceptions of Brits abroad, where you will either get the 'we turned the flavour down to zero' or 'ah, that country of men whose sole personality trait is eats hot curry' depending on where in the world you are.
The language of "quality" in EBM is a significant comms issue. What it suggests is not what it means, nor can that meaning be easily derived from the label.
"The majority of medical practices, including those recommended in WHO guidelines, are predicated on low- or very low–quality evidence."
kids from underprivileged backgrounds deserve protection from their parents too! your parents being underprivileged does not make it okay for them to do things to you that it's not okay for privileged parents to do! it's fucked up that the left thinks otherwise!
They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.
My humble submission to the new Bank of England with concepts for the new bank notes to please both sides.

IMO if I’m ever in this position (inshallah, lol) I would probably have a ‘never send me results where you can’t explain exactly how every variable was created and exactly what the model is showing, never send me English prose you didn’t write (proofreading is fine). Otherwise whatever works’ policy
There are things it is 100% legitimate to have a scorched earth no-LLMs ever policy on, but unless you acknowledge reality here you will not be able to have a transparent conversation here and the determinant will likely end up being what they can slip past you.
The Conservative Party insists humans should go on banknotes. The British public demands banknotes be festooned with animals.
There is only one possible solution to heal a divided nation: furries on banknotes.
