Oh, I hadn’t seen this. Great news. I used to love seeing the old GLC coat of arms and flag around town when I was a kid. The waves are incredible.
Sadiq Khan allowed to use Greater London Council coat of arms
The King has revived use of the coat of arms of the Greater London Council, which was dissolved in 1986.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

A preview of Newcastle vs Spurs for @fotmob.com, and sorry Spurssky, but I haven't got much positive to say about things at the moment. Feels like a fixture we could all do without.

Preview: Spurs face midweek trip to Newcastle
Off the back of their debacle against Fulham on Saturday night, a 500-mile round trip to Newcastle is probably the last thing Spurs need right now, but in the Premier League, life comes at you fast.

Not sure I understand how we have child mortality rates for 200 BCE Rome, but the general thrust is striking.
Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

So the player for the December page in my 1986 Spurs calendar is Chris Hughton who was the club’s caretaker manager twice. Not sure if that’s fate trying to tell us something. #coys

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?
