A left-angled trapezoid on the graph of political philosophies, apply me no labels. Other descriptions might include an Architect at Large, occasionally writing complete fiction but mostly working on zettel.io See also [email protected]

Whenever I think of Trump talking about negotiating with Putin.
I guess the referees couldn't quite steal the game from the Broncos.
I have to admit that I don't understand ugly luggage, even if it costs the equivalent of a small house.
It was also the hottest August since 1976.
The book tour has evidently been exhausting. Whatever neurological event he's going through with the physical difficulty of speaking and his occasional aphasia, his brain is still there and his sense of humour.

It's trivial to have workflow that modifies the front end and shows it immediately in a browser.

Shoving crap into the process isn't better workflow it's the abnegation of responsibility.

Far better to hire someone that already knows how to do it if you feel inadequate to the task.
In the way of the magpie.
Inbreeding.
There should be an equivalent of the Kennel Club for politicians to improve the strains of successful lines and prune the breeds of the useless.

This is prejudice only about certain kinds of politician, no other prejudice need be implied.

Some of the old cities remained and were yet to be cordoned off. My favourite was Southampton, where you could walk for hours, alone, save for salt badgers & maritime ghosts. I like how in this photo of it you can discern the remains of Borders Bookstore, the NCP car park and the original Colosseum.
awk, sed and regex answers 8 out of 10 data mangling questions, the other two are the wrong questions.
Tripling down on the fantasy doesn't reinforce the original fantasy.

Write it down and sell it, as it's fiction.
If people think Press/Media/Platform Barons are evil today, look up Horatio William Bottomley.

He was finally done for fraud but was a general swindler and using his publication John Bull both to promote his populism and as a machine for his blackmail of those in High Society.
He's managed 2 posts in 11 months, it's not exactly fertile ground for him.
I wonder if she's ever considered why the 'Spice Islands' was as interesting as gold to the competing European Empires.

Or the Indian sub continent, Afghanistan and China.

The cultural absorption began in the 16th century, Britain, the Netherlands and Italy even earlier.

Kedgeree, Rijsttaffel?
That's an interesting fantasy timeline.
It won't be an English application. Even if our Union devolves completely all of the remaining British Isles has to move in lock step.

The halfway in of Northern Ireland demonstrates that.
Ah, Molesting Station.
I was ¾'s convinced that the Village Message Board was only slightly disguised and that you probably had to move to escape the death threats.
It's a commutation rather than a pardon. The difference might seem slight but it isn't.
Like Srebenica won't be forgotten?

It's fundamental in the Treaty of Rome and the rest of the growth of the EU that it is trade in place of strife.

"[A]cting responsibly ... is not a task that can or should be automated. This is precisely why we need to think carefully about how we do our work and what means we want – and do not want – to use for that."
Why AI transparency is not enough
Recently, a taxonomy to disclose the use of generative AI (genAI) in research outputs was presented as an approach that creates transparency and thereby supports responsible genAI use. In this post we...

Fucking autocorrect.
It is baffling that modern politicians are so prone to knee jerking. I suppose it's the 24 hours news cycle and the urging of SPADs (remember them) to get ahead of the news, along with a baked in patronising tone.

Did anyone inquire as to the details of the Rush Assessment before blarting out?
More fucking nonsense on the Today Programme about 'AI', this time that Agentic AI being capable of creative endeavour.

Dangerous fucking nonsense.
