Bets on how long the AI MP takes to go rogue and start calling constituents idiots?

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice.

And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

I saw that at the IMAX and it was very funny at the end, a few people started clapping but nobody else joined in so it was like a polite ripple of applause which quickly ended

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

This is a key table to understanding public opinion on migration. *When confronted with the real trade offs* people go for protecting the NHS and the economy over reducing migration.

The problem as per the rest of the thread is many don't believe those trade offs exist.

Imagine this at scale, unchecked: how is this not a fundamental threat to science?

(Also, this is a perfect example of how irrational and ironic it is for large publishing companies to use β€œAI” to generate content that is of a much lower quality than the human-created content they already own.)

Carey Mulligan will always be Sally Sparrow in Doctor Who for me

She did Pride and Prejudice earlier as one of the youngest Bennet sisters, but the DW Blink episode was just incredible

A Twitter DM from June 2022 reads: 

Hi Mollie, I hope you're well. Just sending a message to say thanks. Early this year you tweeted a Guardian Blind Date, where the guy dragged the girl a little bit. After seeing a couple of people saying some pretty shit things about her on Twitter, I DM'd her to balance it out a bit - just say I thought she came across as really funny and fuck the haters etc (but with no other real intention other than that).
Well we hit it off, talked every day for a month (I was working out of the UK at the time) and agreed to meet as soon as I returned. I ended up coming home early and we've been dating ever since. It might sound a bit over the top but l've never felt like this about anyone else before, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. I've honestly had some of the best months of my life with her around, and I want to say thanks

A Twitter DM from tonight reads:

Hey Mollie, I hope you don't mind an update on the above.
I asked her if she'd marry me, she said yes!
She's my world.
I'm so incredibly thankful for you tweeting that thing that led me and meet - I'm eternally in your debt.
Thanks!

I've had a look at the scientific paper and the study barely accounted for physical activity πŸ‘€

Ready meal = 5 mins in microwave, sit down

Cooking from scratch = standing up chopping veg, stirring pan, moving around the kitchen to the fridge, the sink, the cooker, the bin - that's extra activity!

This is the most intense tsunami footage I've ever seen.

It purportedly shows the tsunami from the 29 July Mw 8.8 quake in Kamchatka, Russia, filmed in that same region.

β€œHow does the computer know something happened if no one tells the computer about it” is the easy-reader way to explain why we still need human reporters and data-collectors

And I also find it genuinely alarming that even some people on this website don’t seem to grasp this

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

We relocated this beautiful sky puppy from my kitchen linen drawer to the picnic table outside with some water. After letting me know, vocally, that she did not appreciate us interrupting her nap, she flew off.
