I'm going to be boring here. But there have been self-driving tests in London for years, and they've been doing pretty well

After we moved to a house, my wife despaired and bought me a bunch of AirTags as a present after getting sick of the hours I would spend wandering the house swearing.

This is interesting. But also, my goodness, Shriti Vadera was a big fan of caps lock

I don’t think Polanski will, or should, stand for any seat until the general election

So much of this is just snark though. I mean, the answer to this question is β€˜no’

Nothing is more Kemi Badenoch than beginning a speech by attacking others for 'psychodrama' then dedicating a chunk of it to slagging off some centrist members of your own party for politely suggesting some policy ideas.

This is good and, more generally, it's always welcome to have someone talking about AI and politics that has actually worked in both AI and politics.

I disagree with the vast majority of this thread, but this is true. So many non-fiction books on current topics contain huge amounts of padding

Also, no β€˜best Traitor ever’ discussion should take place without the first Australian series being mentioned

As a Brit I think there’s a weird sort of displacement activity going on from some of us online. Plus, saying people aren’t doing anything when someone literally just got killed trying to do something is ridiculous.

I’m sure it’ll be fine if we just announce Trump as the winner of The Traitors

The thing about the Grid is that it’s not just meant to be just a comms tool. The idea really is that it also gives Downing St oversight of what departments are doing and more central grip. If you’re just letting gaps in the Grid dictate the No10 agenda then the whole thing is working backwards.

I had two cats in the same scenario so we put a collar on the unfaithful one that said 'DO NOT FEED' in big letters. Next day she trotted back to ours and... someone had taken the collar off

She has been (all relative obviously), and that's partly
why Jenrick decided he probably had to switch parties

Badenoch has missed a trick not doing her sacking Jenrick video like his fare dodging one. Chasing him through Portcullis House saying 'you're bang to rights'.

(Also based off this list, maybe try My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley)

It's an incredible book, and don't delete the list!

If the government genuinely believes this stat then boy am I confused about what they think the next election is going to look like for them

Five RTs. Six Likes. It would be more cost effective for Defra comms officials to dial random phone numbers and launch into a spiel about otters or whatever.
