@British_Airways check in at Palma today is diabolical. Full plane PMI to LCY - 2 desks open. This is embarrassing.

We’re going to have to rely on Alyssa’s husband again, aren’t we?

@EastMidRailway 1130pm London to Nottingham. The point remains, the price is the same (or greater) than a midweek train but you get much less.

[Rob Pickering @RobJPickering]

@EastMidRailway feels strange to pay full price for a first class ticket on a Sunday to then have no service in the cabin? Why is it different mon-sat? Also, I can’t even buy a soft drink on this train? Pretty poor all around.

@Qantas if you fly a QF Codeshare (with a QF flight number but on another carrier (e.g. Emirates)) does it count towards the 4 sectors you need to fly to be eligible for status levels?

I said this a little while ago, but the supposed “wokeness” of the Australian Cricket team intimating we won’t play well is even more at odds given we have every available trophy in cricket and are in the finals of the WTC. Shocking journalism - Maurice Newman should apologise.

@TfL Some comms on that would’ve been good instead of having people sit there with no information. Only takes a PA call to inform people.

[Rob Pickering @RobJPickering]

@TfL stuck at Hayes and Harlington after whole train taken off here for Heathrow. No communication from station staff and no updates. What’s going on?

@Uber_Australia at Melbourne airport has become terrible - ridiculous wait times even at non peak times, drivers non responsive and just taking jobs and sitting there so you cancel not them - I’m almost ready to go back to taxis. Atrocious.

Extremely important to have this point made explicitly by Justice Lee :

"The notion a woman is expected to either fight or flight to be accepted as having been a victim of sexual assault is not only not reasonably open but wrongheaded.”

A newspaper editor — Chris Quinn of the Cleveland Plain Dealer — says it as clearly as he can:

"Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts." https://t.co/2nYQx8adj6

Quinn writes of a different kind of access. Access to our own eyes and ears:

Turns out all the column inches on how Cummins and the Australian team are “woke” and would perform badly as a result… may not have been true?!SHOCKING.

Another 5fer for Pat today after arguably the best cricketing year Australia has ever had? Terrible journalism from some.

Fascinating to see the varied coverage of Kissingers death, from lionization to lambasting - but without question the man created more collective misery in Latin America and South Asia than just about anyone has over the last 60 years.

No tears here for a war criminal.

[Australian Women's Cricket Team 🏏 @AusWomenCricket]

Seven World Cups. Our greatest run scorer. Our most successful captain.

She did it all, and she did it her way. Thanks Meg ❤️

True colours come shining through. Ashamed to be Australian. No recognition. No voice. No way forward. Nobody wins. Status Quo. She’ll be right mate.. Disgraceful Australia. #Referendum2023

[Senator Briggs (Biblically Accurate) @Briggs]

When the referendum gets here the options won’t be…

YES
NO (Racist)
NO (Progressive)

This is a frightening visual for me.

The first dot is the amount of data Chat GPT 3 was trained on.

The second is what chat GPT 4 is trained on.

They are already doing demos.

It can write a 60,000 word book from a single prompt.

The only question I've had about AI…
