This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

These new detention camps in the US (the warehouses for people), they'll need planners, architects, engineers, all the rest. Noting, YOU CAN REFUSE to do this work. No one is going to care later if you thought you could make things better inside the system. You will be as responsible as anyone else.

There is long and entertaining lecture by Bell Burnell on the ytube about her discovery of pulsars and quasars. She says the term "pulsar" was invented by a journalist because "pulsating radio source" was too boffin (explained at ~47min mark). www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot1G...

If feminism is for anything, it's for being against this.

But the establishment "feminist" cheerleaders are busy being against trans people, and finding out how many of their establishment friends were for all this...

Ai Weiwei faced vote about his Royal Academy of Arts, London membership after Gaza tweet After discussions, the institution voted to retain the artist as an Academician

Let me get this straight. The Royal Academy contemplated throwing Ai Wei Wei out for tweeting about genocide in Gaza.

Meanwhile, back with the parqagons of virtue, @royalsociety.org is whistling on its way, refusing to throw out Elon Musk for overseeing the deaths of millions.

Got it.

Those who knew how to build them were already gone.
Those who knew how to keep them flying were few, revered as sorcerers and persecuted.
The age of the flying machines was coming to an end.

The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.

Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-) is a Northern Irish physicist who, while conducting research for her doctorate, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. This discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, but not to her - the prize was awarded to her (male) supervisor. #CelebratingWomen

Or...
...like many other countries have been doing for decades, Britain could teach kids to be virtually fluent in a couple of languages, and conversant in a few more, as a matter of course.

one thing that struck me, its that the older people making comics seem to disappear. how about a list that encourages people coming late to the game? I know 6 to watch does that, but not everyone is going to be exceptional (i.e. on that list) and could just use a list of ed pinsents to inspire them.

This needs to be approached as an ongoing case. It is deeply disturbing to think that files may be being withheld to protect reputations when it is imperative that those with the power to investigate have access to them now, and take appropriate action.
