Personally I hope we find out that what Gollum was doing while wandering about looking for the ring was either solving a series of cozy murders (Precious We Wrotes) or performing in an incompetent hobbit amateur dramatic troupe (The Ring that Goes Wrong)

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”

We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

We've got to keep talking about him and what he did. Silence is deadly.

Computers being able to parse fuzzy inputs is very useful, computers producing fuzzy outputs scares me

Oooooh, it's been a long time since a graph has made me cross.

The point about this not being a formal *eviction* is a mere technicality. By not renewing the tenancy, this wealthy landlord found an easier way than eviction to achieve the same goal - getting rid of the tenants and then hiking the rent.

And then going back to work as homelessness Minister!!

You wouldn't know this disturbing information. It goes to another school.

Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

"stick to menswear"

I’ve refrained from commenting on the Observer’s new incarnation on the basis that if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.

However this grossly ill informed piece from one of their hereditary columnists, ironically about misinformation, deserves highlighting.

I can’t condone a machine-generated eulogy, not even over my dead body. Arguments that this democratizes the traditional formalized conveyance of remembrance are desperate. The robots don’t know us.

A photo taken through the window of a train. The name of the station "Newton for Hyde" can be seen on a sign. Inside the train a piece of paper is held up to the window with a sketch of a bewigged gentleman holding up a sign saying "Leibnitz for Jekyll"

Nerdy joke warning. 😁 I've been planning this since I first saw the Newton for Hyde sign.

I'm glad that Kemi Badenoch gets to self-id in the way that she feels most comfortable with and in which she wants to be perceived in this world. I wish she extended the same grace and empathy to our trans siblings.

Forgot this. Was a good piece by errr me

As a new generation demand a say in Scotland’s constitutional future, this from a journalist I much admire on Scotland’s last attempt to break free: “To see people suddenly full of hope and excited and wanting to participate in their future – it was probably the most moving thing I’ve ever seen.”

I mean, she instigated the incident, then the tribunal, then argued for it not to be held in private. But sure, witch hunt.

My personal experience with online safety was my school installing strict internet controls to Protect The Kids™, so I joined a hacking forum to learn bypasses. The users also taught me how to import drugs via the dark web. Then I got arrested by the FBI for computer hacking. It was all very safe.
