The Basque Government/Biscay provincial government have just agreed to finance the FIFTH new Bilbao metro line covering a population of roughly that of Leeds and Bradford. Every station and platform is fully accessible and the current maximum fare is 0.76€ per journey.

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.
A.I. and the Fetishization Of Ideas
In writing and in dispensing my (very dubious, probably shady) writing advice, I am often keen to note that ideas are bullshit. Most writers treat them like precious gems when really, ideas are lik…

I keep thinking about all of the people who were NOT hired as part of this exercise. All the real world production crew. The actors. The caterers supporting real world shoots. So many people with real skills not being paid. So. Many. Creative. People. Not. Being. Paid.

All other reasons this is icky aside, I’m so tired of privileged people saying Thing is necessary rather than “I’m lucky enough to have it”, negating the lived experience of everyone less well off.

Yeah. This.
In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face; we have been in a disinfo/propaganda war with Russia since 2014, & it's one of the few things their military is genuinely excellent at, & we're fucking LOSING

Doesn’t matter as long as all the media only pays attention to Reform.
Greens: Let's switch to having a single leader with a clear message.
Your Party: Let's have lots of infighting, no clear leader, not even a proper party name, and parade our organisational incompetence around for everyone to see.
I wonder which party's doing better.

I left the NHS in 2011, not least because the NHS already regarded support staff with contempt, and both numbers and skills have only been decimated since. So now it need to function with less? Hint: this will not free up clinician time.

This is absolute truth.
These days my Friday afternoon painting sessions are various friends dropping in for a chat as much as to paint.
Turns out talking about how you feel, or what you're worried about, seems way easier when you're all holding brushes and focused on tiny figures, not each other.

This is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! And I thought I knew my Australian animals.
Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!
Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.
