Somebody bearing a striking resemblance to a @metpoliceuk constable thought he would help himself to whatever he found in my (stupidly) unlocked car. His reaction when my spotlight shines on him is priceless, but he carries on! Wonder if @netpol has any opinions on this?

I wonder if the Conservatives would bankroll a libel action for this doomed attempt if the MP’s local newspaper reprinted a story, or if a campaigner leafleted the story to his constituents. (You can surely defend it, but it’s not cheap or fun to do!) opendemocracy.net/en/tory-mp-arr…

NEW | On the other f-word, Tories, Labour + Lineker, and anti-refugee policies: ONE OF THOSE DAYS. Newspapers that censor 'fuck' are equally quick to avoid saying "fascism". Liberals? They offer the same monologues as on the last "one of those days". brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/one-of-those…

Would a stochastic parrot describe bribes as “chickens”, unprompted? Does a stochastic parrot feel emotion by studying the affectations of teens writing like they’re in their 20s? The solution to AI underperforming is not to drag humanity down with it. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

If your workplace has a big SRE team, it's important to consider their UX when you're writing your software. You've gotta make it easy for your SREs to manage your software correctly. blog.adamchalmers.com/signals-vs-ser…


Lots of people making fun of the Met for not having anything better to investigate, but did they consider the officers who can’t do anything better than manning the complaint box? I thought not bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

I am a victim of the most trivial of curses, which is reading about pickleball once and becoming my wife’s chief pickleball explainer every time the NYT references it in the crossword


Driver of an ideological wrecking project chastises man who used a different ideological wrecking project for political expediency.

Sunak was a major backer of Brexit. Why has he never been challenged on the direct lies told to make it happen? Johnson may be the chief liar but Sunak was part of the same fight and the same campaign.



starting the new year watching a guy love his job too fucking much with more energy than a triple espresso can give me. I already know any resolutions I make are doomed. Thanks Sam Ryder

I do not intend to welcome 2023. I will head butt it to establish dominance. It’s the only language these years understand.
