And the second course is served!

Greens having the cynical strategy of talking to different voters about different things, depending on what matters to them.

This communication with voters is the antithesis of modern democracy!

In the future, everyone will be on the Supreme Court for fifteen minutes.

I want this for Mandelson more, but yes: YES!

I respect whoever put "says OpenAI's" in that title.

And this is a very different tech from LLMs, and that is an important distinction to keep in mind.

The bit in Sense and Sensibility where Marianne catches a chill and nearly dies is not melodramatic. It's something that just happened sometimes.

It's snarky, but more about the other candidates.

Thumbs up for Sacharissa=>Granny as a transition on successive days.

Hiding inside a particle accelerator, pushing the near-light-speed heavy particles in interesting new directions.

See also "'Hang all the lawyers', as Shakespeare said" - yes, when he was putting words in the mouth of a thug terrorist.

Of course, its real name is Balrogagar Monsteragon.

In other news, I am a thief.

Me too! And I even got up early to watch it. Because we had no means of saving a programme to watch later.

If you had a big enough cellar you could.

Why not buy a mine?

Personally, I would allow a selfie as long as it is outweighed tenfold by pictures of the architecture.

Furthermore, if an actual angel with wings, a halo and a flaming printed whistle turned up to help, ICE would shoot them.

I love Detectorists, but in a recent interview with Crook he presented himself as basically an actor in The Office.

I love the colour palettes.

I'm seeing a connection to your recent remarks about Vimes. Vimes has stopped short of a line Frank ran through, but they both recognise that ACAB includes them.

Oh bugger!

Mandelson Wormtongue.

Neither he's too focused.

Blue wizard.

There is a valid reason for putting this together: set it up, give it minimal publicity, and then let everyone report on how few people turn up. Own a news cycle.

Don't know if that's happening, not ruling it out.

Oh well, do look out for Kingdoms, then! They filmed four "predator families" for five years, which is enough time for stories to develop, and then got David Attenborough to narrate. Excellent stuff.

Are you subskeeting Kingdoms? Because if so it gives the hyenas a better representation in later episodes.

(I don't even know if it's been shown in the US yet: it's the latest David Attenborough one, doing something different.)

Points to him for going on the record saying that.

I misread 'sota as sofa, and was trying to work out what this had to do with Vance.

Iphigenia if she gets to Tauris? And I think Medea, though maybe you think she doesn't deserve one.

I love the idea that Chad had to cross the Atlantic to find a games shop that didn't ban him.

Mind you, he doesn't seem like a Brit to me. Not claiming moral superiority here, but the British equivalents don't (e.g.) go on about guns.
