This government clearly don't really understand the complexity or the danger of the situation. They show no sign of beginning to understand, and every sign of asking the monorail salesman how public transport should work. It's going to be an uphill struggle, but don't leave this to politicians.

Essential reading for ‘everyone’, before you do a Government AI course
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Marvellous indeed!
Good morning. Today's #BirdOfTheDay has #poise.
That's a theme that most birds could justly lay claim to, but this Marvellous Spatuletail in northern Peru really has it all going on, I think.

The everyday lives of these birds unfolding in a corner of your screen (sound on!) is very calming
If you need a break from things, the eagles Jackie and Shadow, are in the nest building stage of prep.
