Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.

After five brutal years of Taliban rule, Afghan women and girls need our help – and I have a plan | Gordon Brown
Even in the face of appalling repression, girls yearn to fulfil their educational potential. We must set up a global fund to help them, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

Oh Frank Gardner you disappoint me. TCF doesn't have two choices. He has one choice between two options. Common mistake.
The current water level of the Rhine in Cologne is 67 centimeters.
"Coming up" "Next time" "Previously on..." I'm watching the bloody programme already. This time the culprit is Richard E Grant's Odyssey.
Oof. Guildhall almost did it. #UniversityChallenge
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
TCF - Iran talks happening - Strait of Hormuz opening - strikes imminent - blockade working. And repeat.

If you don’t care about what A.I. will do to humanity, at least consider its impact on all those monkeys with typewriters who were meant to be producing the works of Shakespeare, and will now be out of work. There's a very real danger they'll all start podcasts.
I know she's only 23 but if injury is plaguing Raducanu so early in her career maybe she should consider an alternative one. She hasn't had the chance to build strength and resilience; damaging her body like this isn't great for the long term. www.skysports.com/share/13569501

Why am I watching Katie Boulter? Because 'hope springs eternal'. She doesn't have the excuse of her wedding on her mind now so she should be playing better than she was. Except she isn't. #Toronto #TennisSky 🎾
A very dear friend would have been 100 today. Just because she isn't here doesn't prevent me from celebrating her special day. We still love and honour those we have lost.
TCF will throw Infantino under the bus. Maybe not straight away but he will eventually. Gradually he is eliminating all the 'losers' until he's the only one left. The biggest loser of them all.
Didn't do any reading during Wimbledon so finished the book I had been reading in the last couple of weeks. Started this one: Dual time set in France during WW2 and 2017. During these hot days easy to imagine myself in a Chateau and surrounding countryside.

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

60K migrants who entered Spain coming our way? Bailiffs seizing your dead parents’ old car in their garage to pay an imaginary death tax? Fighting for democracy against a bin? Reform MPs’statements in the past week. Reform UK are officially the NEW Monster Raving Loony Party! 😉
The Grumpy Cook website has a ‘Pay It Forward’ scheme where you can pay for a range of meals for people who may be struggling. These range from a small breakfast through to a family pack lunch and also including a child’s meal. The prices are suggested and start at £2.00. grumpycook.co.uk/shop/

HappyToast@happytoast.co.uk · 6d agoThis has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
Because we have survived without AI. We have survived without smartphones. We have survived without data centers. We have never survived without clean water. We have never survived without healthy soil. We have never survived without forests, pollinators, and a stable climate.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Tom Hiddlestone's series on Pompeii is the TV equivalent of a 'living' museum. Fascinating.
No matter how many times Matt Damon tries to get 'lost' he always gets found. Very funny thread 🧵👇
psudonym@psudonym.bsky.social · 2w agoOkay one more odyssey post. Really loved the movie. But I for one am willing to stop rescuing Matt Damon. At some point we’re just going to have to collectively agree that if Matt Damon gets lost again we just have to let him go.
It's stopped and the sun has re-emerged.
