There has been quite a bit of push-back about the use of AI.
I have to admit I am a wee bit concerned about it too, but the important thing about the film is its message.

They tend to 'glamp'. But we'll just give them a cardboard box each, see how they like that,

Actually that is difficult to substantiate. It could equally said to have started when a bunch of men started throwing snowballs containing stones at a terrified young sentry who fired in fright.
The LA situation is a "here and now" one and has to be met as such, I would say, (though not my call).

I never thought I would live to see this. I'm too young to remember the Daily Mail's "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" but Tim Davie is a bloody Quisling!

I was about to tell you that!
It was one of the Soul tracks played over and over at clubs in NW England in the 1960s. Soul became the musical wallpaper of urban, white, British youth of that era. We loved it.

I hear you. But to the younger scholars with whom I associate it is precisely that. There have been so many changes in politics, in culture, in W.H.Y. that we are in a different world to the one I knew as a child. My philosophy, given how quickly things can change, is even yesterday is history.

I once attended a public Q&A with Brian Cox. It was pretty cool.
I would love to do the same with the other Brian Cox too.

I think certain elements of Musk's family might not be too enthusiastic about it. And who could blame them.

... and farewell speeches in the Commons that one enjoys giving. Low bar I know, but that was Margaret Thatcher at her best!

I'm trying to "buy or rent" it on YouTube with no luck. The "buy or rent" button isn't active, and no search of YouTube brings up the full moive.

I can't wait for someone to sub me a pot of paint so I can blank out letters until it says "TRUMP IS GAY." I mean he'd love that, right?

Sharing is not imposition. Use of your talents is not dictatorship. TBH I think you're erring towards ageism.

So you would rule yourself out, even if you (or others) knew you were the right person for the job?

No, but I would be teaching a younger generation. Just as responsible a position!
