Why does predictive text always change the words that I don't want it to but never fixes my typos

I really hope it's about sufficient investment in public services and housing rather than abitrary decisions on the value of human beings

I enjoy it but I always feel compelled to get a bit too much into character which is probably too much for people around me

Side view of a moth with wings that have a white area that nerves into a darker speckled area. There are three spots near the ends of the wings and various patches of burnt orange in the lower parts of the forewings

Eupselia sp.

This beautiful moth visited our Perth Hills garden in mid-February. It’s possibly a Common Eupselia (Eupselia carpocapsella), but I’ve never seen one with such lovely colours before.

Honestly, Labour responding to the politics of a post Brexit, post pandemic surge in net migration by desperately pulling every Home Office lever it could is a generational error for which it and the country will pay a big price.

It turns out figuring out why people don’t want to vote is usually a better use of time than scolding people who don’t want to vote

The thing about telling chatbot users that using chatbots deteriorates their epistemic connexion to reality, is that it fails to take into consideration that using chatbots deteriorates one's epistemic connexion to reality, such that being told it has deteriorated will not seem like a big deal

Well i just got a lovely message from someone who said she had printed this out and read it to her grandmother. Who was now insisting she tell the "internet dragon love story man" how much she loved it.

And i can honestly say that has made my week if not my year.

Why, unlike most of your Democratic colleagues, have you chosen to support the current war with Iran?

Well, I wouldn’t describe it as that. I’d describe it as what I hope

when the first thing you say to Isaac Chotiner is "well I wouldn't describe it as that" is when your staffer should be hitting you with a cosh and taking your phone away

Even if all the Nazi stuff is just a pattern of really unfortunate naΓ―vety and poor judgement, that in and of itself should be disqualifying for a seat in the US Senate, where he'd be an obvious easy target for "legitimate concerns" far right lobbyists

You seem incredibly invested in the former blackwater hired killer with a nazi tattoo who goes on nazi podcasts to tell them what a big fan he is and who feels entitled to be elected a US senator despite never having no prior experience of holding elected office at any level. Get a better candidate!

The historically pivotal court case, that is critical to the future UK Trans+ rights Christine Goodwin v UK, changed the lives of Trans+ people across Europe, leading to the UK Gender Recognition Act. But it continues to be misunderstood

Over twenty years ago, a court ruled that forcing trans people to live β€œin an intermediate zone as not quite one gender or the other is no longer sustainable”.

That decision became the foundation for the UK’s Gender Recognition Act.
