Asimov wrote ‘The Feeling of Power’ in the 50s. The future humans in the short story can’t even count because they’ve depended on AI for so long. A technician re-discovers how to do pencil-and-paper maths, a technique which they refer to as ‘graphitics’ and use to wage war. The tech kills himself.

I may be misremembering the tail number but I *think* I flew in the jumpseat of that one as a cadet jolly for some touch-and-gos into LBA from Finningley. Nice to see some airframes preserved. The last time I thought about that flight was when I spotted a couple of Vipers on the back of a flatbed!

Love location-spotting things like this. Cruachan dam (near Oban in Scotland) appears as the Empire garrison base in Andor and the McLaren technology centre near Woking in England is Coruscant spaceport 😂

I realise it wasn’t your intention, but I always find it creates a misleading mental image of the numbers involved to quote by country like that and it’s mainly used by people who want to distract from the importance of the EU bloc.

Fantastic evening watching Tim Minchin live last night in Liverpool, along with the youngest person in the auditorium, who was over the moon to have a shout out from Tim himself. Thanks @timminchin.bsky.social ! The 9yo will love you for life.

Will the ECB remember how captivating test cricket can be and why it deserves support? There’s a first time for everything.
