There’s a lot of talk about NATO’s Article 5, and what it would mean if one NATO country attacked another.

Absolutely with @policyskeptic.bsky.social on the WhatTheActualFuck of this news piece on AI tool predicting A&E demand! I presume it has/will be evaluated? #notholdingbreath

A classic #WTAF? from the NHS. They have spent serious money deploying a tool to solve a problem that doesn't exist: www.theguardian.com/society/2025... ...
