Why Ireland is not a British isle
A brief history of Ireland and why it is not a British isle.
medium.com
Watching the racist loons in the UK talking about how they aim to save the British Isles, it seems particularly timely to repeat a simple fact you may not be aware of.
Ireland is not a British isle.

Another bit of coverage for what we're at with Go Eve and DockChain.
A nice interview too, I think, by George Morahan.

One of the most unexpected climate-change reduction strategies I've ever heard of. Apparently, the contrails caused by high flying jets contribute to global warming and can be damn-near eliminated by slightly changing where planes fly.

I'm sure it's possible to to both of these things.
1. Make a good joke about Xmas Eve and Go Eve.
2. Make a half-decent AI-sourced Xmas video about DockChain and Santa.
I haven't managed either.
Nonetheless, I hope you all have a great break over the holidays.

Given that a lot of people consider a dog for Xmas, two thoughts.
1. Don't. At least not because it's Xmas
2. If you do, then adopt, don't shop.

Chatting about AIs last night and seeing some interesting posts about inter-AI competition today....and I thought of the whole "what is consciousness?" question again. I suspect it's something really pretty basic. But hey, what do I know?

That ideas like these are apparently being normalized in the UK is about as scary as you can get.
Harry Cole of Sun interviews Connor Tomlinson - who advocates banning ethnic minority MPs from parliament
Tomlinson regrets sacrificing Suella Braverman but feels sure (on no evidence) she would sacrifice herself to remove the risk of Kemi Badenoch, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel & Shabana Mahmood!

There is no excuse for this. Like there was no excuse for the Provos or the UVF putting bombs in pubs or on shopping streets.

I remember thinking that this wasn't a good idea. And even then my arguments probably weren't as dumb as the ones Michael Hobbes reports here. Hopefully weren't as dumb.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.
(15 in Manhattan btw)

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

We did this again. Same outcome. Bloody tasty.
Though I will comment that it's very subtle in taste and can take a LOT of pepper/other spices if you're that way inclined.

As an occasional listener, it's a loss.
As someone concerned about freedom of speech, it seems a dreadful outcome. And, frankly, rather puzzling given how many other people with strong opinions never had a problem.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

As arguments for staying on twitter/x go, this is a good one.
A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
