Obviously Denmark is part of a broader military coalition pledged to defend them in case of attack. I would have thought a guy who sold his house to go live on a military base because he was scared of his neighbors would get this.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

This is fantastic. If anyone is vaguely interested in Star Trek, or just how Tv is produced, the 2nd volume of Altman and Gross’ Oral History of Star Trek sheds a lot of light on Berman’s… character. www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/produc...

It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

You'd think the British government (and everyone else still using X for 'reach') would not want to be known to be frequenting a platform that carries and actually generates child porn. And yet they keep posting there.

1. Never use AI unless you know what the right answer looks like and can recognise what a wrong answer looks like
2. Start looking for the wrong answers fucking immediately

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.
OMG - f*ck AI for ruining the em-dash for writers. I use them all the time. Of course, what a shock that AI uses them since they were trained off my voice and other authors' voices.
I'm a writer who has specifically been directed *not* to use em-dashes because "they mean it was written by AI." I can detect AI writing, but it is not simply a matter of the punctuation used.

My recent goodwill towards Netflix (funding Sesame Street) is taking a battering due to the constant notifications about a new R!cky G*rv**s standup. Nothing in my “algo” should be causing that

If I wanted random items “helpfully” moved next to me inducing feelings of mixed claustrophobia and exasperation, I’d … oh wait I already have children
Also, this just in -> the latest bizarre AI fever dream is AI-controlled trivets, staplers, and coffee cups on wheels. So we'll be chased around by inanimate wheeled objects clamoring for our attention.

When I was around 7 my dad went through a brief golf phase and took me to a pro-celeb charity match. We don’t get to the front of the queue to meet him, but I did clap at the wrong time just before Ronnie Corbett played a tee shot
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”
