And it's especially infuriating because we knew. We knew, from the last time, what would happen.

Which didn't have to be a surprise, because we knew it already from the 1918 flu, which adversely affected children in utero for eighty years, showing a marked decrease in health outcomes, lifetime earnings, and life expectancy.

The prime number few. Fat people eat accumulates. The florist sent the flowers was pleased. The horse raced past the barn fell. Missing woman remains found. 😕😵‍💫

A garden path sentence is one that, while grammatically correct, is almost always read with the wrong interpretation. The classic: "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." requires you to re-parse the meaning of each word carefully to identify the correct meaning.

New EU rules stipulate that people must be told when they’re interacting with AI or looking at AI-generated or -edited content, leading to fear of “disclosure fatigue.” www.wired.com/story/europe...

Every so often I teach someone how to spin yarn on a spindle. And I always tell them that the first yarn you make will not be good yarn, and it's not meant to be, because right now you are not making wool into yarn, you're making yourself into a spinner.

On the Goodall COVID thing, whenever The News Agents say anything, I check what the Tony Blair Institute has been peddling recently—as all three of them have benefited from Blair's cash at one time or another. Interestingly, the TBI is currently pushing the transformative use of AI for healthcare 🙃

Governments must rethink risk to close health gaps with AIIf AI is to help bridge health-system capacity gaps, governments need to change how they think about risk.institute.global

Anyway, everything that people rightly lay at the feet of lockdowns for COVID mitigation is not actually a problem inherent to lockdowns themselves, but caused by the declining level of support the government provided for us as they continued because they were ideologically opposed to them.

If we’re discussing covid, back in August 2020 the Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, introduced a programme that subsidised £850m for people to congregate in enclosed spaces and get infected with the disease that killed people, then the state broadcaster depicted him as a superhero

The same people that moan about school closures during Covid were also the ones moaning about how an increased number of young people are on sickness and incapacity benefits. And they won’t see any connection in those two things, because journalists apparently don’t do that sort of thing now.

The period 2018/19 was the political/media class collectively realising there is no upper limit on how horrifically they can behave, with total impunity, and that is precisely how we wound up with first Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and then Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
