If it’s The Canary, I’d double-check it first. They have a tendency to publish incendiary claims with little regard for accuracy (i.e., their claim that the RAF was refuelling IDF bombers over Gaza).

The purpose of a system is what it does.

So, meaning is a pyramid scheme

It looks like the hollow husk of UKIP left behind by Farage and his backers has turned into some equivalent of the BNP/EDL/that one Morrissey endorsed.

My first thought on seeing the photo: “Christ, Billy Idol’s looking rough these days”

If the LLM was trained on a corpus of pairs of equivalent Greek/Hebrew and English texts, its training data would almost certainly have included the Bible.

Also, New Zealand got its first one a few years ago

They didn’t have the internet back then (because they only had 1s and no 0s), so you had to source your own cute animals.

How does it compare to Ente?

You love to see it.

More like “Wanna root?”

All cats are beautiful

You are Patricia Highsmith and I claim my £5

They’re not getting the concessions Thatcher handbagged out of Delors. They join the EU on equal terms with other members. If they would prefer to stand proudly alone with their delusions of imperial grandeur and get pushed around by everyone else and eventually turned into a hollowed-out kleptostate run from Beijing, Riyadh, Mar-a-Lago and a dozen tax havens, then they can’t be helped. (Though if Scotland and Wales make a break for it, they should be welcomed into the EU on the standard terms.)

The UK can keep its emotional-support Sterling (well, as long as the złoty and the Danish and Swedish krona exist, but not a day longer), though Schengen should be non-negotiable. Then we can get cross-channel rail service that’s not just a link between a handful of security-hardened railports with queues that compare unfavourably with Stansted in peak holiday season.

Who is “nebula.tv”? The far right are keen to boost the idea of One Nation as an inevitable surge, and I’m wondering if this is part of that.

Has the Australian branch of the BDS movement announced that it is disbanding yet?

F-35s? Really? Could they even get a target lock against a US F-35?

Hope they have some Gripens or Typhoons in reserve.

But would he have recognised a cigarette-packet-sized device that shows text and pictures and responds to touches as the same class of object as the room-sized mainframes that processed payrolls for corporations and were controlled with punchcards? Without real-time processing, VDU terminals, microcomputers and GUIs to bridge the gap, they’d be essentially two very different things.

Wasn’t purgatory something like 100,000 years of being flayed alive in a river of boiling shit for every time you had an intemperate thought or stared cross-eyed at a church or something, meaning that the average person would spend unfathomable amounts of time suffering unendurable tortures before finally getting into the Kingdom of Heaven?
