so hang on a minute, the UK (significantly, erm, βrepresentedβ in negotiations by Mandelson) has just signed a trade deal with the US that gives into their demands for NHS to pay way more for medicinesβ¦. & yet Streeting wonβt even tell us the barest details? π€―

(1) Another long π§΅ because @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social finally put out a statement on Jack Horner's association with Jeffrey Epstein and this is about the most spineless pooh poohing of a serious safety and moral issue I have read. I guess studying vertebrates does not require a backbone...

I read that whole document before Trump got back into power. It was absolutely NOT a distraction.
Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.
Facts that bear repeating.
you know, laying off staff in the middle of a war zone while enduring a ukraine winter without power makes laying off ppl during the holidays look downright humanitarian.

A drawing of a creature known as a hoori-doori-din-rin. It is a bipedal creature with no proper forelimbs and a round head with giant, orange eyes. The left image presents a bald version of the creature. Its skin is off-white and pinkish and there is a set of eight tiny, featherless wing-like limbs. The middle image presents one of these creatures with all of its plumage. The topmost layer is covered in very dark purple, black and blue feathers. A drawing to the right of this middle image presents the under-plumage which is very colourful and heavily patterned. The right image presents one of these creatures dancing with all of its feathers erect and all the colours visible. The creature also has a blue tongue and the bulbs to either side of its face are inflated to make the display even more elaborate. There is also a small sketch of the creature's head in the bottom right corner.
Introducing the Hoori-Doori-Din-Rin!
Much like the chuckme and the chidderin, they are named after the unusual call they make. They are arguably the court jesters of the world of magical creatures with their painfully unserious behaviour and absurd albeit elaborate dances.

Has anyone compiled a good, well-cited one stop website with a detailed list of why genAI sucks? I would love something that I could share that simultaneously speaks to the points about stolen art/writing, habitat loss, resource waste, funding/economic issues, misinformation/propaganda, etc.
