This is untrue. Many of us have indeed stopped wearing our robes while performing the rites, but we nonetheless remain committed to such controversial sacred values as “inclusion” and “empathy”.

Tim Cook's 24 karat golden trinket at the Oval was an embarrassment, but more than that, it was a token of policy corruption. What Apple wanted from the WH was exactly what it got this weekend: blatantly corrupt pressure to undercut rules that create fairness:

It's part of a playbook that works to erode democracy, and more overt than even I expected:

Identifying a raven is dead easy. If you're looking at it and going "ooh, is that a crow or a raven", it's a crow. If instead you're going "christ that bird's fucking enormous" it's a raven.

“Microsoft says its (vibe working mode) in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets”

Imagine being a hiring manager and hiring somebody to use Excel who says they do their job wrong about half the time. Welcome to AI.

So, I have just been on a book tour and have gone to a dozen cities, large and small, and I have six more stops for festivals in cities ranging in size from 76,000 to eight million. I haven't felt a single scintilla of fear being in any of them, and none of them could come close to being called a "war zone." The problem is not cities, it's that our president is a racist shithead fronting a racist shithead administration and that a bunch of their supporters are fearful cowardly shitty racists too

Imagine being the UK Labour Party that thinks chasing the racists' votes is the thing to do rather than condemning racism and chasing the anti-racist vote.

Everything Labour does basically tells the racists they are right because it concedes their racism has a point.

RANCID.

Odds are that the announcement from the Play executives was written by the Cohn & Wolfe Iceland PR firm. They’ve had them on retainer since before Play flew its first flight.
