That makes considerably more sense than a mantra repeated by people who've never met an actual farmer.

I agree. No need to mess with everyone's body clocks. Everyone goes 'But what about the farmers?' but they get up when they need to, whatever the clock reads.

Better not tell the authorities that Android phones make trans people or Streeting'll be after them.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

In times of chaos, Europe is the muddled power the world needs In praise of the dreaded European working group

While Europe may be too slow at handling problems, it is rarely the source of them. There is something to be said for a power that prefers rule books to rockets

Absolutely the rakshasa - I carefully coloured mine in the MM - even though it's nothing like the canon rakshasa.

Just saw this on another platform. Overseas military folks getting prenatal care are being told that the β€˜host nation’ must provide this, but only after 36 weeks (just shy of 9 months). Landstuhl is not remotely a hardship tour. I think we all know what’s going on here.

He's obviously right. The Tory position on this is nuts. Why on earth would you want to tie yourself to a President who is clearly not capable of rational decision making and has no idea what he's doing?

It's already not a popular conflict + it's only going to get less popular if it drags on.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing β€˜reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
