How to twist news... So, that means that 60% don't want to.

The Japan Times has seriously been on the Takaichi's bandwagon lately... Japan and freedom of the press... A long story...

Le truc aussi c'est que "AI" est un terme marketing regroupant tout un tas de trucs trรจs diffรฉrents les uns des autres, mais dans l'esprit de gens c'est un gros gloubiboulga qui perpรฉtue le mythe d'un truc vaguement conscient qui peut tout faire.

One tiny silver lining, my representative, Shinya Ogawa has narrowly beaten (by 1000 votes!) his Jiminto opponent. Of course, they'll both be elected as the loser always gets in thanks to the proportional thing

As a French native, I can also confirm that there is no grammatical difference between French and English and German. Just like English, French only has one present tense. Just like French, English has six forms for each verb. Just like German, French and English have declensions. And more...

It's snowing.

It's snowing.

It snowed a bit today.

Yes, people from Canada, Scandinavia, Hokkaido and more, you'll find this ridiculous small amount of snow laughable, but here, that's the most snow we've had in 10+ years (and the most snow my son has ever seen, he had a blast, this is [โ€ฆ]

Get Off Substack! The best time to leave Substack was yesterday. The second best time is right now. Here is why.

The second part of the Butlerian Handbook was not supposed to be about Substack but the news decided otherwise:

I'm pretty sure what we see on screen is Luke's plan. There are a few unexpected things (the Rancor) but everything else was to have everyone near Jabba and then let all hell break loose.

Let's not forget that Luke has "divination" powers by then, and could have foreseen the Sarlacc โคต๏ธ
