I wonder which billionaire the Washington Post thinks should be in receipt of further government $$$ for shooting rockets into space instead!

Then we could start preparing students for the way we'd like the world to be in 10 years time; or even the way they would like it to be!

"Apart from anything else, it’s worth remembering that most grammarians only write articles and books about grammar, and these are some of the most laboured, tedious examples of writing that you’ll ever come across."

Which ones, you ask? So glad you asked. I'm thinking of tobacco and alcohol or course, but also anything involving motor vehicles, fisheries and farming.

Some industries have been around long enough for it to be considered normal for them to impose their costs on the rest of us. This lot are just trying to establish the same precendent for themselves.

Genuine question. Also if it does, are your clients aware of this?

When you do this, does it steal your image? Or does Adobe do that anyway whether you use AI or not?

Maybe what happened with Joan was they went to a lot of bother during her selection and then when the cry went up 'Testiculos non habet' they all just went 'Nah, d'you know what..'

It would make more sense to get all the candidates to show their knackers at the start. Save a lot of bother later.

THIS. We have it so easy as kids. I think for some men this turns into crushing disappointment the first time something doesn't go their way and they think it must be someone else's fault. Same with whiteness.

When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be take pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy .

When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics."

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes."

Yeah it's worse if the investor is also a foreign government, but even the most benign venture capitalist is capable of bringing an industry to a halt, driven by nothing more sinister than maximizing shareholder value.

Horrified by this. Not just because I consume 125g of Lapsang a month, but also because apparently Chiles thinks it's acceptable to make tea using teabags!

This is why it's harmful for the press to talk this up as a political act on the party of the legal system. That undermines people's trust in the law
