I would happily make it to share with other people. However, as was the case with the soda bread, people here just do not appreciate it.

I'd absolutely love a Barmbrack right now but can't be fucked to make my own again.

how are we supposed to have anything besides a low-trust society when the media refers to airstrikes that kill 100 people as a 'threat' to a ceasefire, or offers the logic that a ceasefire is something that can be unilaterally paused whenever Israel gets the urge to kill.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Had a dream last night that I was insisting that my boyfriend watch the Muppet adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. You know, that thing that doesn't exist?

“We need to respect the opinions of everybody who spoiled their vote”
Actually I think you’ll find that they spoiled their vote because we’ve lost the ancient art of telling people to cop on for themselves when they’re talking shite

I wanna be on social media to follow the election result but i also don't want gymnastics spoilers. Now I'm so annoyed.

Absolute nerve of ARD to region block the finals and then NOT STREAM THEM.

20 second tangent about Simone Biles in the middle of the medal ceremony. Stay classy.

Just took 93 yr Grandpa to vote. In a very loud voice he said "Which box to return the sacred lemon tree to its native soil?" With that a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Springfield.

Incredibly good vault without a doubt. But...that's not a good thing lads.

Also acting like it's so impressive that Schönmeier did a one-armed vault. Who's gonna tell them?

Could the German commentators not go on a 30 second tangent on Angelina Melnikova in the middle of a completely unrelated men's floor routine?
