"Thorium toothpaste" is an excellent summary of the mad dash towards AI, imho.

Adrian Childs is Good, Actually. He had his column *before* he was seeing Viner; she was just seduced by his beautiful rousing prose about [checks Colin ] giving your car park ticket to somebody else to use when it's still got a couple of hours left on it.

Entirely reasonable anecdote, but like... Research indicates that more Republicans own a gun.

A lot of people are saying "hypnoboobs", but nobody's saying "howpnoboobs". Shameful.

IMHO it's just funny to get things wilfully wrong sometimes.

Also, anti-jokes are good and funny, so wilfully ignoring the (more obvious/correct) joke is very "I've been calling her Crandall!"

The same Oxford Labour leader who β€œforced” the LD/Green admin to create a citizens assembly on transport. They wanted to give β€œresidents more say”.

That assembly of residents strongly backed a congestion charge (74%).

I'm an epidemiologist so I try to use specific and accurate terms lest people draw the wrong conclusions, but also I have looked around and noticed that people with Long Covid and people who have recently lost someone are offended when people refer to Covid in past tense, so I don't.

There are a lot of people IRL who will be outraged at the thought of mitigating the risks to children via wearing masks etcetera.

Don't be so dismissive of him just because of his name!

He's real, and he worked on Thangam Debonnaire's campaign in Bristol last year, so I think he knows a thing or two about the green party and being unelectable.
