Our data belongs to all of us. We need to know how the NHS deals with our data. We need the right to say no. No to sneaky data grabs and no to Palantir πŸ‘‡

Judging from comments it seems we have about 5 European navies with exercise proven capability to sink US aircraft carriers. I had no idea.

Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, France. Did not check veracity of all claims.

Seems like Claude Sonnet 4.5 is unable to build my simple POC with View Transition API, but GPT-5.2 succeeded on first attempt.
It would be interesting to compare with Opus 4.5
(I write β€˜seems’ in case my prompts were poor, but I thought they were reasonable with good context and documentation).

Hi Anthony, I thought you would know! :-)
I like the continuity, I remember the 508s running to Shepperton in the 80s before the 455s.
I’ve been puzzling over this for a while, thank you!

Hi Anthony, do you know why 5716 has one carriage that is different to the others, i.e. has a lower roof and some single seats? I have noticed that 455s to Shepperton always have one of these in the formation.

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to visitβ€”offered a 5-6 hour ceasefire so they could see the encircled troops safely.

Today, Zelenskyy walked in freely.

Time to start de-Appling – Hi, I'm Heather Burns

New post from me, for UK folks only, on how you need to start preparing for Apple to switch off Advanced Data Protection and the end-to-end encryption of the data you store on it. Like I said, UK only. #SunlitUplands

Why it’s time to rethink the notion of an autism β€˜spectrum’ The idea of autism as a single spectrum has shaped thinking for decades. But many autistic people and researchers now argue the metaphor is misleading.

🌟 New article on @theconversation.com today

My thoughts on why we should stop saying "the Autism spectrum" and just use "Autism"

I assume this is obvious, but I’ll say it anyway:

The advantage of proscribing a non-existent organisation is that no one can prove they don’t belong to it.

What really needs to be banned are social media algorithms. This is just telling kids they can't have digital crack cocaine until they're 16.

The β€˜Fortress Russia’ economy has adapted well to pressure. But stagflation presents an opportunity for the West Now could be the time to ratchet up sanctions pressure on Putin and change Moscow’s risk analysis of prolonging the war.

Seizing the $300 billion in Russian assets immobilized in the West and allocating them to Ukraine would send a strong signal that there is little light at the end of the tunnel for Russia's economy.

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasn’t an β€œincursion of drones.” Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldn’t β€œcondemn it.” We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldn’t β€œcall on Russia” to stop. We should stop them.

Other outlets chase what’s β€œalready trending,” mistaking algorithmic amplification for genuine public concern. This creates a feedback loop: outrage drives coverage, coverage drives politics, politics produces more outrage.

Don’t just summon Russia’s envoys. Close their embassies in the EU and UK and send their β€œdiplomats” back to Moscow. That would be an appropriate response to their murdering civilians and bombing the British Council and EU delegation offices last night.
