Now might be a good time to revisit the twitter files and really try to understand what was in them and why it was horrifying. Seems many people wanted to pretend they were nothing because it didn't suit their partisan narrative. We&#x

Never trust a suggestion algorithm. Exponentially mistrust it with a developing mind. You watch and approve everything in advance or don’t let them watch at all. Alphablocks, numberblocks aren’t bad. Hey Douggie is ok. There is decent stuff

In Aus, among the most traditional and emotionally hardest of hard men includes the cricket community. It involves physical pain “suck it up!” And psychological warfare and abuse. Bluey reduced most of them to tears in episode 47 of season

Why would the UK government limit itself to being reasonable? I can imagine most CEOs pausing before picking a fight with the intelligence services.

Sell it to prop up the dollar and/or pay down debt, same as gold reserves. Whether crypto is a good idea for that purpose is a matter of opinion. I lean toward no. Strongly. Make the case either way and it can be a sensible discussion.

Nonsense it is absolutely corruption when anyone from any party does it. It may or may not be illegal and whatever lawyers and judges tell us about that it still stinks just as strongly. Third option is that it's absolutely illegal but

I have the sequence the other way around. The pedo guy quote in response to the hero of the day describing musk those terms. Is there source that confirms the sequence either way? Added: Checking, the guardian story I linked has the pedo gu

Objection? No. Concerns yes, as have been detailed at length. No good trying to ram it through without doing the work. We can't manage the project for you etc. etc. There is no silver bullet. You have to treat each one in the way that

20 years ago I read a story about an obstetrician in the USA. His premiums at that time for professional negligence were $1m per year. He would have to keep paying those premiums for 18 years after his retirement. Same for every obstetricia

And REM seem to have been determined not to be. Commercial decisions not to play stadiums and not stoke exaggerated tales of excess that would make Hunter Thompson blush? It's kind of cool how longevity has worked for the Stones while

Plausibly, sure. Almost any decision is given people sometimes make terrible commercial decisions. We should acknowledge that the Windows 95 international saturation marketing blitz to the sound of "Start Me Up" failed to end the

Way back when, the big story about REM was that the world’s richest man, Bill Gates, wanted “It’s the end of the world” for his advertising blitz for windows 95. REM, they said, told him to take a hike so he had to settle for the Rolling St

The religious are more likely to object to this name. One can imagine a different name in Saudi, for example. Among atheists one would think it would no more troubling than referencing Legolas in a name. [1] In China I suspect they'd o

There’s an English cricketer called Ben Duckett. His nickname among Australian fans when playing for their local team appears to be “Autocorrect” Autocorrectson sounds like a fine family name. In England it’d be “Duckyson” I wonder if there
