I realise it was a mistake to invest my hopes for a better future in the NACC, but this fucking guy really rubs salt into that festering wound.

I agree that we're likely setting ourselves up for a very long process of asbestos-like remediation efforts around "incredibly stupidly and carelessly implemented LLM tools that were rolled out after 2022"

Did you know there’s an accessibility setting to toggle on that reminds you to add Alt Text before posting an image? Toggling this option on has made adding alt text to my images second nature after many years of using it. Turn yours on and start making your posts more accessible and inclusive!

if you're into AI "advisors" and find their insights helpful, may I non-ironically recommend seriously considering: tarot

- connection to your subconscious
- therapeutic or confessional as need be
- patterns of meaning
- self-determined takeaways
- no need to google facts afterwards

Ah, I didn't connect the character with a specific person so much as a Type from That Time, but I daresay you've hit the nail on the head.

Thanks for resurfacing the essay though. It's still very entertaining (unlike Wright, who I must suppose remains to this day an insufferable dickwad)

They have historic dominance over their Opposition and they still behave like they have a .2% margin. They are so contemptibly governed by cowardice.

When are any of them going to admit that (a) Bazball is an extremely dumb approach to Test cricket, and (b) even if it were not, most of the English players just aren't good enough to pull it off?

I will always cherish Graeme Garden doing Pam Ayres:

My mother 'ad a Flit gun
Twas not devoid of charm
A bit of Flit
Shot out of it
The rest shot up 'er arm

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over Β£1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

This is neither here nor there, but because this came up in a random conversation yesterday, and sometimes I think everyone could use a distraction of something fun and entertaining mixed in with your doomscrolling, here is the best card trick ever performed on TV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Kc...

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
