the thing that takes the norwegian salmon lady’s costume to the next level is that she opens it up and is covered in loads of horrible little parasitic worms

Since the 'blessing' of holy water is actually not a blessing but a minor exorcism, an acolyte who is implicitly an exorcist could potentially claim to be able to perform it

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

It’s the universities encouraging students to use AI that really gets me. All this “we need to accept it’s here and teach them to use it” does not help students learn to think. Writing is for thinking and communicating, not just producing words.
