Flitting between city arms, queens vaults and gatekeeper trying to find one to get in to and hopefully be in sight of a screen. That photo is as damning as the empty seats.

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
My enduring memory of early 90s rugby is my dad shouting at the TV. We were angry when we were bad then, and still followed the game all season. I almost forgot the 6N was on last weekend.
Reform UK threatens to cut funding for Welsh university after debating society bans party from campus
want to go to Bangor University' said nobody ever. Especially if Bangor University is stripped of government funding and student loan facilities by @reformparty_uk Is that "in line with your values,' poppets?
This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.
It seems to be the case they see "growing the game" as chasing money in nations where it's extremely unlikely to take off; rather than securing the game's future in nations where it is already loved (Wales) or improving all the time (Georgia, South America).
I love the sport of rugby but hate everything about how it's run.
I am all for sports coverage that doesn't dumb down but provides links instead
This gets me back to one of my main critiques of academia, which is that most people go where the funding is, particularly in science, and it leads to so much harm when a particular field or methodology or style of investigation is overfunded.
A 2024 study found that ants best humans at tests of collective intelligence.

I suspect there a lot of SPADs around Westminster who see The Thick of It as something to aspire to.
First-line IT support could be another option
I too scoffed at that claim about fans "following players rather than clubs"; but hey, if they close the Ospreys, maybe I will just pick Gloucester, Exeter, or Bristol instead.
Feels like a bit like something from an austerity playbook. Degrade something until it's weak enough that saving it looks like a lost cause.
Seriously though, Welsh rugbys tendency to bring you right down after a positive weekend is unmatched
This is an excellent article. A lot of it reads painfully familiar. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...
Geneticist here. Anyone telling you that they can just change intelligence (which isn't what IQ measures well anyways) by fiddling with a few genes is just straight-up grifting, it doesn't work like that. And yes it's basically definitionally eugenics.
A lot of senior directors seem to get to a point where they just can't understand why anyone would begrudge them their rises.
Do you remember one of our early Grand Slams being dismissed as "not a vintage year for the 6N"?
The sounds of the C64 version live in my head.
I was thinking then, not now... but Charlestons sounds right. I feel like I have hazily been in more than one place round there up narrow stairs that felt weirdly illicit
Sounds like the cocktail place above Greggs
I used to work in a bikeshop, and someone with a Brompton would appear for a "quick" chat when I was locking up
Or, much more likely, they are role-playing, based on their training data.

I've just turned this on and am I genuinely watching several minutes of a referee testing his mic?
How bad is it to want to go on my kids' birthday?
Ha, reminds me of the Python sketch with the playwright and the miner
It's the most toxic management that creates a survey spiked to justify decisions already made, under the guise of "seeking feedback".
Did you see the other article about a chatbot "feeling unseen"? Someone needs to prevent guardian journalists using LLMs, or at least teach them what they are.
Even if this was the case (it's not), it would be a behaviour based on short term engagement, rather than longer term investment in a team. Why would a sporting body want to encourage fans picking up and dropping support on a whim?
