NIGEL FARAGE STOLE MY SATSUMAS
2. New customs rules due to the UK now being outside of the EU single market.
The extra time, effort, paperwork, and risk of importing such perishable low value fruit means that almost all satsumas get sent to the easily accessible markets inside the EU.

For anyone else that's got the pre-Christmas lurgy and is miserably lying on the sofa, can I recommend Sorted Food's crossover with Emma Thompson and Gaia Wise?
It is a thing of chaos and beauty.

second why are you citing something that you haven’t given the barest pretense of reading. citing a synopsis is fresher shit
I just don't understand how or why academics are citing papers that don't exist. First, you should know by now that LLMs make things up, so if you for some reason found it that way and then
didn't double check the citation is real, you are simply an enormous rube.

By the way, the episode of Would I Lie To You? featuring the episode where David Walliams reportedly did two Nazi salutes (which the BBC edited out and said were unacceptable) will be on BBC One on Boxing Day at 7pm.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

So, I work in Editorial. A really common problem we have is authors copying paragraphs from the internet into their book and then rewriting them.
(It's a method I really can't get my head around, but I suppose it's "read and rephrase" with one more step.)

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

If you aren’t actively pro trans then you are not against the far right. them’s the rules
“Together Against The Far Right” is following a variety of groups - but they’ve not actively engaged with ANY LGBT or trans, orgs 🤔
Maybe it’s because their Interim Chair, Kevin Courtney, has a history of aligning himself with anti-trans hate groups??

I'd just about got my head around the fact the NHS won't let me have children.
But we've just been denied blood tests because we have to go private – because they refuse to treat us as we're queer – and that's really just made me absolutely livid.
