I'm definitely not saying self-driving cars are the answer but he's right, that *is* how I feel every day (that I drive)! I'm amazed there aren't cars crashing constantly, speeding past each other, a few feet away, at 60mph each. 😬

Sadly, I'm leaving my job at <newspaper> due to the new management cosying up to our fascist government. Please join my new Substack.

Yoz is clearly a friend of the stars! What more context could you need?

Yeah it's strange. I'm usually beguiled by the design which I like. But that doesn't keep me dry.

Same. Unsubscribe from things! Set up filters! Tidy up! I get twitchy if I have a dozen _read_ emails sitting in my inbox still needing my attention at some point.

And, I think, managing to use "blogs” to mean both "blogs” and "blog posts”, as well as using "blog posts”, so who knows what any of it means. Sterling work.

Googling for the quote, the only search result is a page about subscribing to NBC Peacock for only $25.

Google AI suggests the quote was by Dawn Airey in the FT in 2014, linking to the source… which is not the FT and doesn't even mention Dawn Airey.

We are, as they say, cooked.

They must have edited that quote out because it's no longer there!

leavesubstack.com is useful but doesn't help with your actual question, which is something I've often wondered too, without coming to any conclusion. So I end up saying nothing.
