These two things do not go together. Cheering on support for trans rights calling out our oppression, next day go out campaigning for the party doing said oppression

George Galloway: β€œI have been assailed all day by a β€œchildren’s book community” so vile and vicious I’m amazed they even let them near kids #redmolucca”. He was retweeted five times. An account named @winnie_the_pooh, not believed to be connected either to the Disney corporation or the estate of A A Milne, responded with one word: β€œTosser.” and was RTed 213 times by the time this well-worn screenshot was taken, perhaps more afterwards

Well, if it’s 14 March, that can only mean... naturally: the ninth anniversary of one of the finest exchanges from The Old Place

And if the session is being recorded? Using the mic helps that too! You'll get a more accurate audio recording if you are using a directional, radio or lapel mic, which in turn will help generate more accurate transcriptions and more accurate captions for any recording shared. 3/

Using the mic is also vital for live captioning - again these systems rely on the microphone to pick up sound. You will get more accurate captions is you use the mic 2/

Always use the mic! Even if you are Brian Blessed, you need to use the mic. The microphone will support the hearing loop - it doesn't matter how loud your voice is or how admirable your projection, it needs to be picked up by the hearing loop for anyone using a hearing aid. 1/

what is the largest animal you are confident you could expel, singlehandedly, from a medium-size bookshop?

RULES:
- you have no resources beyond what is available in the shop
- you must remain more or less uninjured
- bookshop has 2 floors; animal is on ground floor, you can choose where you begin

AI toys for young children need tighter rules, researchers warn In first study of its kind, Cambridge researchers found AI toys could misread some children's emotions.

Good god, who is giving their children AI-powered toys?? Don't do that, people!!

I once worked on a project where 'helmet cam' was rejected as a name for a wholesome live feed watching a conservator restoring an actual helmet. A proper Roman one. That was a dumb move.

Here is the letter where govt say they must pay Mandelson Β£75k in case of an "Employment Tribunal " - which is nonsense because he had no Employment Tribunal claim (needing 2yrs service) . Last line is real reason, to stop "Peter goes public on some of his claims"

I don’t know why a version of this story gets telegraphed every six months. I don’t know why people scoff or find it objectionable and invariably the real story is never one about censorship. It’s a case of giving people information. It’s actually about being aware of trauma that isn’t your own.

Far too tired to spam the world with Apprentice posts. Needless to say, they’re all entirely useless and would probably fleece their own grannies for less than a fiver.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
