As long as someone's willing to fund it. Alannis was on her last chance. What a way to take that chance...

It's her solo debut, so maybe it doesn't count. Jagged Little Pill is Alannis's third solo record though...

Great choices. Maybe also Licence to Ill to Paul's Boutique, or Y Kant Tori Read to Little Earthquakes, to the extent most people think the latter is her debut. (Similar with Alannis, come to think)

I knew about the lack of public access but the plan for a cathedral is wild. The parish where I grew up was established in the 70s. The PP wanted to use the most scenic park to build his church. Didn't get his way.

Don't you know the Roman Catholic Church is eternal? :)

Don't think it was about building another one. Wasn't it about getting Christchurch back?

I think it’s different in one respect: in the case of the web, investors overestimated bad businesses. In the case of LLMs, they’re overestimating the potential ability of the tech itself.

If there were people around the country committing violence against Catholic priests and attempting to burn them to death in their beds, would Simon Harris and the rest of our politicians, the very next day, take to the media to demand a debate on whether there were too many priests in Ireland?

Now Ger, don't be talking down the economy...

No, the worst thing a British political party can do is sell out their own constituency.

It’s not true anyway - they over hired during the pandemic…

In this case, only to the fish
