Random thought.‘Andrew Carnegie supported libraries because he believed access to knowledge was essential for self-improvement, merit-based success, and community advancement. As a formerly poor immigrant, he credited his own success to having free access to books, calling libraries "ladders upon which the aspiring may climb"’ Wikipedia
These ideas really didn’t used to be controversial or identifiable with a particular side of the political spectrum.

Anyone else remember Animal Beer?Don’t think these were a thing in the UK, but my memory only extends to going to the off license with my dad as a kid in the 80’s.
Our local brewery at the time was called Badger Beer (still going) and it has my favourite two animal names for beers: Fursty Ferret and Blandford Fly (the latter was named for the bane of our lives every summer - a very nasty local fly whose bites left huge painful swollen welts on your legs).

Starmer: We need to learn the lessons from last week's by election.Except I think it’s the advisors who have been nudging Starmer on to join Israel…

The UK isn't a country; it's four raccoons in a trench coat.Surely it’s a weasel, stoat, ferret and a mink dressed in an ankle length puffer jacket.
The raccoon only sees a stuffed puffer jacket/rag doll to chuck about and play games with.
Three of the creatures in the puffer jacket have sussed that the raccoon is actually a skunk, but one is still obliviously chewing its own leg off.
Meanwhile the sleek otter on the other side of the Channel is growing impatient of this whole anthropomorphic tale…

@glyph Did you quote post something?My old boss became very reliant on LLMs…even though she could clearly see their limitations in terms of the field we were working in. I’m talking 6 mths ago and I appreciate that improvements to LLms are occurring weekly if not daily. But while she lapped them up (she was dyslexic and used to try and hide it by getting others to do all her written communications) I found LLMs left me frustrated - a lot of time wasted on prompts that led to diminishing returns.

Does the rest of the UK media care about the bigger picture of #Trump threatening to sue the #BBC ?Does the rest of the UK media care about the bigger picture of #Trump threatening to sue the #BBC ?
It’s got to the point now that the BBC lawyers are so twitchy they won’t even report on their own self censorship.
The star of this year’s Reith Lectures has been edited against his will about Trump’s open corruption…and now BBC journalists are banned from quoting him.

So my great grandmother’s wedding present from her father arrived at our house late tonight…it’s an oval George III dining table made out of rosewood.So my great grandmother’s wedding present from her father arrived at our house late tonight…it’s an oval George III dining table made out of rosewood.
These details excite my mum and my kid who loves history…me, I’m a little daunted by the responsibility!
But it holds so many memories of family meals, Christmases and epic board games, I couldn’t let my parents sell it.
Being it’s custodian makes me feel proper grown up! Hence I will need to enter the world of padded table clothes…
