for clarity, the City of London refers to a 1 (one) square mile area in central London. this is not even all the churches in that area
Shout out to the City of London’s 5 dedications to St Mary, 3 to St Botolph and 2 each to St Margaret and St Bartholomew.

also can we talk about the religious right nut jobs using the word "demonic" all the time now?
guys you're just making everything sound cool as hell to everyone who isn't a religious right nut job. Even actual normal religious people I know will hear the word "demonic" and think "rad as hell".

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Why do trains in the UK cost so much at peak hours?
It's mostly NOT due to privatisation
It is because the UK state has not invested enough in its network to up capacity, and even today does not subsidise operations very much

Listening to David Lammy on @BBCr4today attempting to justify abolishing trial by jury, it is increasingly and terrifyingly clear that he simply does not understand the issues.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

Also if you give money to a stripper, she'll probably spend it on food, clothing, shelter and/or entertainment, rather than on crashing the entire global economy, funding fascism, and destroying the climate.

This. "Believing the stripper really loves you" is a good line for a certain type of gullibility, but most strippers a) are actually capable of love and b) wouldn't encourage a customer to suicide. Because they're human and have minds and emotions. LLMs aren't and don't.
I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

I accidentally sort of used AI today. I did a reverse image search to identify an actor whose name I couldn’t remember, and unexpectedly some AI result came up, a very firm, “This is a picture of…”
It was *wrong*. Obviously wrong to anyone who had seen either actor. But not to the shit “AI”.

I see that sometime soon Talking Pictures TV is going to be showing The Man from U.N.C.L.E., for anyone who likes uber-cool Sixties spies.
Given it’s TPTV I’m assuming they’ll be happy to show season 1, which the BBC didn’t repeat the last time they showed the series, presumably as it’s B&W.

(This was in England. That’s relevant.)
I don’t work now for health reasons. When I did though, the thing I used to say most frequently was, “Just a wee jag.”
At least until, after several months, someone eventually told me, “No one here knows what on earth that means …”
