I just don’t get it…. I wonder if it’s because the name of the show leads you to believe that it’s a race when really, it’s not…. It’s about the people.

Who cares about #Duolingo points or leagues or promotion or demotion? (I am quite attached to my (almost) 2 yr streak though.)

Clearly something big happened - crew issued a Mayday but nothing heard after that - it was airborne for (according to reports less than a minute). I guess contents of CVR and FDR will be crucial.

Makes the timing of the recent 2 part documentary on BBC (will be on iPlayer) interesting.

There are >1000 787 Dreamliners in service worldwide since its introduction in 2011. This will be the first 787 hull loss. Not sure we can blame Boeing just yet.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner with > 200 pax and crew being reported.

I’ve largely switched off from it all. Govt says X, and oppositions say “that’s a load of rubbish” but are unable to say what they’d actually do. Little analysis or expert views are heard, and politicians are allowed to not answer the question… which may or may not be relevant. Should do better

I have a compilation of his TV reviews for The Observer. “The immaculate length of [Bjorn] Borg” and his description of JR Ewing’s hat as having a band “comprised of what appear to be crushed budgerigars” stick in the mind. He wrote about TV with genuine affection for the medium.

Saw a post yesterday from SkyNews (don’t know who posted it - this being BlueSky I can’t find it now) where Sam Coates asked ChatGPT for the transcript of his pod cast that he hadn’t uploaded It made one up based on previous pods and doubled down inc making up an upload time when challenged.

I’m painting the hallway and landing. I can then watch it dry. Same thing, I’d say. 🤔

What proportion of boys and men actually fall for this preposterous horseshit? … and how can those that do, lose sight of reality so completely?

Indeed.

I just called EE to separate my email address from their customer’s account to be told that they can’t do this, nor can they contact the customer to check with them? Next move?

What you describe sounds largely administrative. If that’s the case, what are they doing diagnosing illness?

…and the plan to treble numbers in next decade looks in doubt. Just posted the above article too, wondering, given the large number of professions that work/alongside with doctors in both primary and secondary care, what the gap that requires PAs to fill it actually is.
