Can we trust our Copilot summary? Part one - the issues | BigTown Council Copilot cannot understand your text. What makes you think it can summarise it accurately?

It’s the people uncritically relying on Copilot summaries of documents β€” or worse, of meetings β€” to make significant business and sociopolitical decisions who scare me; www.bigtown.star-one.org.uk/localgov-dig...

Absolutely not here to defend Robert Jenrick, but he didn’t say that, it was Christopher Chope who said it.

I mention this only because I think misinformation shouldn’t be allowed to stand regardless of which political perspective the misinformation is coming from.

Oh, you want the Transport Minister to make more transport happen, and the Minister of Investment to create more investment, but as soon as the Homelessness Minister starts increasing homelessness...

All four Green MPs sign EDM supporting trans community The EDM says that "transition liberates trans people to be their true selves"

Some context as to how either of these candidates is transphobic would be helpful given they both signed the Early Day Motion last month supporting trans people? bright-green.org/2025/06/08/a...

Is a match official wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo branded blazer rather than a Fred Perry branded blazer the tennis equivalent of going into Marks and Spencer and shouting β€˜Woolworths’?

A large installation on the side of the road in Shepherd’s Bush showing a pair of hands ripping open a chest to reveal a heart. It looks like goatse.

If you want to know how important pronouns are, try misgendering the invisible friend of a mad evangelical

Can’t help feeling though that Christopher Priest comes across as something of an arse in that account, just as everybody else comes across as an arse.

Shit no, the probabilistic model of a large language model is more complicated than the maximum 600 characters of a pair of BlueSky posts tied together can describe…

is marlon brando in heat?

No, Marlon Brando is not in "heat."

The term "heat" is commonly used to describe a specific stage in a female's reproductive cycle, typic-ally referring to when she is recept-ive to mating. As Brando was male, this term would not be applicable to him. He was also deceased as of July 1, 2004, so he is no longer alive.

I’ve always thought it amusing that the Christians most likely to bang on about Satan and Hell are the evangelical Protestants, using theology and imagery contained in the part of the bible they edited out.

Will Albert Bartlett make a proprietary air fryer that will refuse to cook any potatoes other than Albert Bartlett, like HP do with printer cartridges?

News item right now about Jim Moir’s (Vic Reeves) major exhibition of his bird paintings he’s done over the years.

I wonder if the caption cards will include information about how he cooked them and how tasty they were?

Lords Chamber - Hansard - UK Parliament Hansard record of the item : 'Lords Chamber' on Thursday 12 June 2025.

93 minutes of Drones and Ambient Sounds which if played on shuffle might help with sleep, by the winterval conspiracy 11 track album

So that’s my latest platter now available on Bandcamp and in all the streaming platforms. The purpose of it is to be 93 minutes of Drones and Ambient Sounds which if played on shuffle might help with sleep, so that’s what I decided to call it. thewintervalconspiracy.bandcamp.com/album/93-min...
