I volunteer with a London youth club that does amazing things on a budget with low overheads.
This week we're running a matched funding campaign. For every £1 donated the club gets £2.
And if you donate any amount, I'll give you a free month of London Centric.

I go into a Waffle House and I hold that knife and I think about how recent our advanced metallurgy is. Like 70 years

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

Crypto fun: if you'd bought a load of ethereum, supposedly the future of crypto, in 2018 when it was still pretty new it has returned less than if you had bought S&P500. If you bought in 2021 during the last boom you'd be *down*, versus a 2x gain in the S&P 500 total return

No, you, an individual, are being an obnoxious asshole and are acting like maga.
If I had to guess why it is because that's what your peers do and you want to fit in. It's also possible you're an unpleasant bully who delights in manufacturing an acceptable target.
