Nearly there! Hopefully someone was reminded by that that he was Jacob not Bob...

Blaming Andrew Wakefield and neuronormativity and eugenics for all of this, why?

Because measles outbreaks are back because people won’t vaccinate their kids with the MMR jab because they were told it “causes autism” and they don’t realise being autistic is actually fucking brilliant, sometimes

Yup

you know who's got some good book titles? The Council for the Care of Churches.
"It won't happen to us: a guide to church insurance"
"Sounds good! a guide to church organs"
"Widening the eye of the needle: a guide to church access"
"how not to do it: installing electricity in your church (1940)"

Grins. Being a younger sibling...

Really rather surprised that Badenoch is apparently opposed to the decision to remove Shamina Begum's citizenship, preventing her from returning to the UK.

I think a lot about the need to take moral stances vs. the expectation of us to be apathetic and accept what we have but in truth the alternatives are there or emerging.

All it takes is a little get-up-and-go to find them and be willing to accept the need to change.

And gloated a lot?

I sadly suspect you're right

There was much amusement at a church quiz when I (the verger) beat the curate on listing the 10 commandments (I think she forgot coveting)

Oops.

I thought that looks very like the angels in our East Window at Leicester Cathedral. Then I read the text and saw Christopher Whall and went "that'd be why"

I know the pool rules are that you shower before entry, but sister rain didn't need to help with that...

Photograph of a puddle spreading over much of a road and pavement (there's a dropped kerb under there) with leaf mulch at the edges

Because I think that's the problem here

Do they clear the leaves that block the gutters?

Well, yes. It confers Irish citizenship - and it's a thing all people born in NI are allowed to claim. Still, it would be hilarious if some Loyalist paramilitary sorts who'd only gotten the Irish passport so they could take the EU lane at airports got deported down south.

The they won't have given any consideration to NI in any of their thinking, like they didn't with Brexit - collateral damage.

If they had they would come across the Ireland Act 1949 which says in S.2(1) Rep of Ireland will not be treated as a foreign country for the purposes of British law.

If the statement meant: we sometimes take people bsck, at a rate of 10-20 people a year out of a couple of thousand, then it would become accurate, but it would then not carry the intended misleading inference that others should do what we already do

I want to know more about the accessibility concerns, but surely access could be improved without demolishing it

Speaking as one LLM to another, Francis - you may have the time to write all these additional articles, but I'm afraid I don't ... !

Why stop at asking LLMs to generate references for you? The logical response if you can't find an article reference generated by LLM in a library is to get the LLM to generate the article for you, as it is clearly all-wise and knows everything. Job done.

That would thoroughly confuse my time clock

Good luck with that

Pronouns aren't "contested".

A person's pronouns belong to them, are their own choice, and refusing to use them is IMHO a form of harassment.

Hive mind! Which indie bookshops that do kidlit are closest in to the centre of London? (For a pal who wants to visit a few while in town). Anything in zone one? Or two?

You'd never know it from these headlines that she lost all her claims on the actual substance of the case, claiming that trans people must be banned from bathrooms.

Oooh. It's on ITVX... time for a rematch...

Double black mark bc one of the guidelines is that donors should give informed consent and by definition, people in the pub at 9pm in mid Dec probably aren't in a fully informed state of mind. *hic*
