I just realised that if you put the coronation dates of Queen Elizabeth II and Charles III into numerology grids (Sepharial/Vedic style), you get the same chart.

an interesting argument that the singaporean practise of caning offenders prevents sentence inflation. caning serves to express the community's outrage against the offender- and indeed, express its outrage in a way jail cannot perform, by making the offender feel pain...
Jacob Gifford Head@giffordhead.co.uk · 10h agoOne of the reasons we are struggling to find enough prison spaces is that sentences have increased sharply in length over the last couple of decades. One of the difficulties, I think is that the inflationary pressure on sentences is everywhere within the debate about crime, from all sides.
Within the debates about academic plagiarism, I see a lot of discussion about Turnitin. They seem to suggest its use in the UK is routine & uncontroversial. Have all the arguments against it, particularly about copyright, just been lost? As a student unionist at the time, we were furious about it.

I wonder when the last dissertation wholly in Latin was submitted in the UK? I would believe pretty much any date within the last 150 years!
One supervision in 2.5 years sounds bad but I was once told a tale of a PhD submitted in a foreign language and, when the administrator objected, the student said that his draft chapters had been in that language and the supervisor had said they were fine. His supervisor did not read that language.

I am a big fan of mad "must inform a constable" provisions. There's one in s.49(3) Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 where it is a defence to the offence of possessing nuclear weapons if you inform a constable "as soon as reasonably practicable" after you find out that's what you have!

Plod@policemanslot.bsky.social · 2d agoUBS did similar when reporting $2B fraud by a trader. They spent all day in meetings trying to find a carpet big enough to brush it under. After that failed the Chief Compliance Officer walked into Bishopsgate Police Snt at 1am to report it. Which must have been a tad unnerving for the night duty DC

15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.
Exactly. This whole thing seems to be superfluous discovery due to incentives created by intellectual property law. Had Anthropic continued to train their models on pirated content, they could do so without depleting the knowledge commons. But for legal reasons, they destroy books instead. 🧵

My favorite research success story, the moral of which is: always be nosey. I am writing on a subject on which everyone cites a prize-winning MA thesis that seems to be *un-gettable.* I contacted the archivist at the university where the thesis was written, and they got nothing. 1/6

this is actually something I try to keep in mind all the time when doing Chinese history; it's very normal to quote a source from, say, 1520 when referring to something in 1550, but that was a generation and a half apart!
as we increase in sophistication we can hopefully move from Foucaultian methods of control to Deleuzian ones, since the Foucaultian ones have problems like "getting out of the prison"
