This morning’s adventure at the doctor’s surgery:
Me: I had a Covid jab yesterday at Boots and they gave me this slip to hand to you.
Nurse (looking at it): Well, I must say you’re in excellent shape for your age.
Me: Gosh, thank you.
(The nurse points out the year of my birth on the slip: 1669)

4 in 10 students cheated?! Jesus. I suppose the solution is to make everything about live, handwritten, timed exam papers again. Or simply to fail anyone who uses AI to write their essays for them.

Cost of abolishing university tuition fees = £17bn
Cost of making care homes free = £8.3bn
Cost of making trains free to use = £11bn
Cost of hitting net zero = £30.7bn
The annual cost of the above is £67bn, which happens to be the amount of money given in tax relief to the richest 20% of the UK.

Their highest-paid actor made $30k last year. Sounds a lot, but that’s from 1.2 bn paid uses - $0.000025 per job. ElevenLabs charge 20 cents per 1,000 words. So they’re making at least 8,000 times what their artists are.
