If we post keys that actually open things would you be interested in seeing them? Or is it just the thrill of looking at pretty keys that don't open anything?

NEW: Meet the real AI ‘rogue agent’: Lord Watson of Palantir. I am sick to the teeth of this current AI hype cycle & its perversion of language. The only thing going ‘rogue’ right now are AI boosters, a gullible & compliant press & a Labour Lord 1/ broligarchy.substack.com/p/meet-the-r...

As always, the solution to so many problems is rigorous enforcement of antitrust laws. (Declaration of interest as an antitrust lawyer.)

That's a lot of people. Thames Water reports seven-borough water outage www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Five London boroughs have no water or low pressure, Thames Water says
Specialists are on their way to investigate the issue, the company said in an update on its website.

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.
"Someone from Reform & their shrill harridan who live as tax free exiles in Dubai have been entertained by the wife of a former minister of state of a country hostile to the UK and he failed to declare it to Parliament he's elected to sit in? You couldn’t make this up" via We loathe Reform UK Ltd
Goodnight from The Elusive Lady pub, where there’s much talk of the Empress Eel slithering the fields. Goodnight from Geoff Allot, his shade hanging around the sign appealing for witness to a road traffic accident, unable to quite work out what is going on. Goodnight from Hookland.
This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
You taught me language, and my profit on’t Is, I know how to curse.

Jazzing up my Iron Age dialogues tote bag - got a few more coats to go but love it so far. Let's hope the internet didn't lie and ironing acrylic markers fixes the colour!! #ironage #archaeology
Well, well, well. Research and pleasure bring me to @coriniummuseum.bsky.social for the first time! And what a well appointed reading section of the gift shop😎
Hookland is ghost country. Hookland is witch country. If you suspect some monstrous thing is lurking in your nightmares, you might just find it in that place of legends. – #CLNolan, Children’s Hour, BBC Regional Programme, 1936
Manequin Do not pin The toille The tissue is fragile The pins scrape They catch and stutter You spin me In front of women Who judge my body The seamstress pulls Her linen tape A measure Of those Found Wanting They believe Upright I will be Noble I will wear a shoud with pride #PegsPoyums
#SpookySunday Always keen to "do different", one of Norfolk's ghostly offerings is a spectral Cow which haunts the village of South Lopham. Appearing in times of difficulty, the bovine hangs around to offer spiritual support, and disappears once things have returned to "normal" ...
While recognizing that this is partly a reflection of differences between the UK and US models…I do think it’s kinda instructive to think about how this post would play in the world if the author had transposed “history” and “engineering.”
Mike Ross@eruptionchaser.bsky.social · yesterdayAm I missing something here? In what universe would an engineering student ever study history?! Do many history students study engineering?! I *enjoyed* history at school, and I was *good* at it. But no way would I ever have studied it at university.

At the age of 90 year old, Czech former agricultural worker Agnes Kasparkova continued her 13 year project to decorate her small village with hand-painting traditional Moravian motifs on the local houses #womensart
This is a stupid ass take but for the record, yes, I am a historian who also has a surveying degree and studied (basic) engineering

The Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport in my hometown has an "art corner" (near the customer service desk) where traditional performers showcase their skills. Usually I see sape players, so it's nice to finally see an Enggang dance. Made me want to pick up the feather fans again.
It’s been yet another week of the Right-Wing doing everything in its power to eat itself. Today’s column runs through some of the highlights. Bring popcorn. And maybe some tea.

BOOK OF DREAMS & GHOSTS 1897 Andrew Lang, best known for the coloured fairy books, was President of the Society for Psychical Research. The book poses some fundamental questions: Do you believe in ghosts? How do you define a ghost? One of the best looking ghost books. That cover! #SpookySunday
I could quote pretty much this entire article by @mjrobbins.com on the bizarre psychology of the AI apocalypse freaks, but you should just read it instead. Such a relief to see someone express my feelings so eloquently. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/the-ai-apo...
