Gift link. You should read this. It is wrong on so, SO many different levels. It violates basic principles of research ethics in so many different ways. Leaving devices IN PEOPLE'S BODIES. Stopping treatments halfway through, with no one to contact if they get sick. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

The UK govt reveals massive investments in AI just as it's revealed that UK families are far poorer than those in other countries. A manifestation of politicians' propensity to fall for flashy bullshit that solves nothing vs the actual work of fixing systemic economic injustice.

With Keir Starmer setting out his plans for AI today, our polling has shown that 71% of Britons have little to no confidence in the ability of UK governments to effectively regulate the development and use of AI yougov.co.uk/technology/a...

A sad indictment of #lufc playoff record that the last 2 teams to beat us completely sank afterwards, (Derby in 2019 final, So'ton in entirety of 24/25). Them winning has just proven a waste of everyone's time. Derby especially were utter garbage managed by a clown.

What is the point in Joel Piroe?

Piroe, Aaronson and Meslier will send me to anger management class #lufc

Complete bottlejob from the ref there #lufc

Meta is not a company that makes products. They are an ad tech firm with a monopoly over social media. They are terrible at making social networking products and have been 15+ years. Wretched exec team and wretched company

We have a properly warped perception of how much various sectors contribute to the UK economy. The fishing industry, which is constantly in the news and to whom politicians of all rosettes regularly play, adds less to GDP than Games Workshop

Excellent from @jonnelledge.bsky.social, as usual, on "echo chambers"

What makes Bluesky better : the timeline does NOT Auto-refresh!

The key to understanding this is to remember Trump’s support is not the working class, but the local aristocracy, the car dealership owners et al. who see themselves as Johnny Big Boy Business like Trump’s jmage.

When will the football journalists arrive? 😞

Absolutely mad piece about a random man who has more imagination about what record companies can do with their archive than the record companies do www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bluey and Yakka Dee. Seared into my brain.
