"Sometimes you've got to cut a little piece of yourself off, no matter how much it hurts, in order to grow."
You probably guessed where this is going: the entire "anti-woke moral panic of the last five years is an absolutely *textbook* example of how horrors happen. It was never going to stop with bathrooms or sports or HR policies.
I accidentally bought "no added sugar" baked beans, and now I appreciate why they add sugar.
Might hedge Butlerian Jihad risk by founding a mentat school.
Much as I appreciate your posts, I do sometimes wonder whether being on here so much is good for you (or anyone). Please take a break when you need to.
Not long now
Phew. I have submitted my response. Thanks for the prompt.
Indeed.
It is now 18:50, so there are more than 5 hours left to submit responses. But seems it has been closed prematurely. Sigh.
This is a real Stafford Beer example; you can't problems of low standards with regulation, the variety matching just doesn't work. Of course you can't solve them with deregulation either...

“The Times newspaper horks up a terrifying national panic using a few dubious examples and an avalanche of roaring wingnut pundit insanity, with appalling consequences” is the type of thing you could say and have people ask, “I don’t know which one you mean, can you be much more specific than that”.

So tired of court intrigue bullshit dominating Westminster politics.
So did Elon buy the twitter debt back from the banks at a discount, before turduckenning it into SpaceX at face value? Probably impossible to confirm, but hilarious if so. Of course, $13B seems like peanuts when trillion dollar valuations are being thrown around.

I will be attending #fosdem this weekend! Turns out it's been ten years since my last time...
Ah, this will subsume the NCA.
TIL the USA recognised Denmark's claim to Greenland in the 1916 treaty that gave it control of the US Virgin Islands (formerly the Danish West Indies). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_...
Is using AI now something that gets you forced to resign from a public body? I'm sure I remember various ministers saying that AI would transform public services. But I must be wrong.
BBC news website has live updates saying that the report is damning, and how the guy is under pressure to resign. But nothing I could find about what the report reveals beyond the use of AI. And if that alone now gets you sacked from a UK public body, well...
So is the interim report about the
West Midlands Police Chief Constable publicly available so I can read what it actually says, or is UK politics just doing its usual thing?
The part of immigration that they do control, they strangle - squeezing the people who staff care homes, schools & hospitality.
The part they don’t control - the boats - they REFUSE to do the one thing that would give them control - establishing regulated alternative routes🤦♀️🤷♀️
Thinking of the Linda Smith line from the time of the Iraq war: The problem is somehow our oil has ended up under their sand.
Reminds me of my post from the old place.
I have wondered how hard it would be to replace that list of words with "polluting", "incinerating", "despoiling", etc.
Shout out to the 80s software company called Arnor that made the best assembler for the Amstrad CPC line of home computers. They were, as far as I know, not evil. www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Ar...
