What’s it like in your head?

God, Dalton was such a good Bond. Wished he hadn't been screwed by lawyers fighting over the rights for six years and had got at least one more film.

I believe the rough idea was that a character called "Sir Henry" was going to try and stage a coup on Hong Kong.

Looks like I was partially wrong about Parliament needing to pass a Bill of Attainder.

Appears the crown can revoke his title of Prince using an obscure procedure, but the line of succession remains intact unless Parliament passes said bill.

Yeah, he'd end up as Orange Pâté after a few steps.

Kemi Badenoch’s ability to plant political time bombs that blow up in the face of the party she leads is truly unparalleled.

What’s particularly impressive here is she could have found this out herself before raising the profile of this issue at PMQs.

Every video you make with Sora 2 costs OpenAI $5. This year they’ve spent the best part of a Trillion Dollars (one thousand billion) and brought in $12bn revenue. For them to be able to *break even* they’d need to increase the cost of every monthly subscription 10 times. They are so fucked.

Yeah. Charles can't issue the attainder & Parliament isn't inclined to do so without a wider debate about the aristocracy (coughlordsreformcough) and the monarchy.

He is basically threatening to pull what stipends Prince A still receives from the Palace and throw him on his ear if he uses them.

Did a quick search. Looks like an Act of Parliament would be required to revoke these titles officially.

There is a huge discussion to be had about the ethical use of LLMs (I would ask you not to call it AI. It isn't intelligent.)

The TL;DR I go for is:

* Audio/Video/Images: Unethical, mass copyright infringement.
* Text: Templates/drafts.
* Code: Reference, troubleshooting & repetitive sequences.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

The justice system is overwhelmed - both in terms of caseload and cell capacity. The government is pushing hard to eliminate as many non-essential custodial sentences as possible.

They might want to have another crackdown, but know they can't do so without risking hitting a judicial critical mass.

If we want to get rid of Trump, just convince the Norwegian Nobel Committee to permanently disqualify Trump from the Nobel Peace Prize.

He'd have a coronary, knowing he'd always be eclipsed by Obama's one.
