A quiet Sunday spent bouncing ideas off Claude AI to see how they stick, the conclusions going into a blog (not for publication but for reference). But if published, how to credit it? Claude AI thought about that, then blogged on it itself. Follows. https://t.co/A9q8y1mfc0
@fesshole A mate who fixed me flak jackets for work had a sideline in drugs, legal & not, including viagra, which he called a “recreational drug” and which I had never used, and which he offered me “a few” as a plus, and what I ended up was 64 packs of four filling a drawer for six years.
@fesshole Brit readers will recall the the columnist Suzanne Moore, whom Germaine Greer ribbed in 1995 for her "hair bird's- nested all over the place, fuck-me shoes and three fat inches of cleavage".
A lovely line among many from the Brass Check, Upton Sinclair’s timeless excoriation of the US media: “Newspapermen are human, and cannot be blamed by their owners if now and then they yield to the temptation to publish the news.” https://t.co/SZMGNSskHn
Satirical account? “Russia on Saturday condemned what it called “a preplanned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent U.N. member state,” https://t.co/Tp7iUNFcsw
From @haaretzcom “Thousands of newly discovered documents now make it possible to tell the true story of Israel's expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 – and to begin to grasp its bitter implications, post-October 7” https://t.co/pkxRWzDW4l
@pauliegeronimo@fesshole Hard lenses. Made of glass. In the early 1980s we would pop them in cups in an emergency (forgot the case or left it at home by your bedside; I.e., not by the bed you had ended up in.)

@fesshole Did exactly the same thing once. Didn’t notice the two plastic cups side by side. Topped one up and drank the lot. Was decades ago in the days when so-called ‘hard’ lenses were made of glass. When they got gritty she’d pop out the lens, lick it clean and pop it back in.
Asked under oath whether Trump cheated at golf, Lindsay Graham said:
“Some people say you may outdrive him, but you’re not going to outdrive his caddy. It is what it is.”

Well considered reappraisal of Orwell’s famous essay that I ‘kinda sorta’ agree with, as clarity of expression needn’t exclude uncertainty of position. I think people need to get more comfortable with doubt. https://t.co/ezUfOlOm0n
It was cathartic to sit down and discuss time inequalities with Yineng Cai @SixthTone. This Q and A piece could be useful resource for colleagues interested in learning more about the vivid stories within and behind 'The Time Inheritors'! Check it out.

@elonmusk Sad. Our children will never see a starry night or explore the night sky. All they will see is a drawn curtain of glinting satellites and glow in the dark shareholder value statements
