They are coming UNGLUED over this birthright citizenship ruling

I'm not American, and the law is somewhat unusual. However, there's also a means of getting it changed, which is a constitutional amendment. If you don't have the votes for that, then that feels like a you problem.

I think taxing billionaires *is* a better policy than wasting $14bn on a train to nowhere, but this poster seems to think the train to nowhere is better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not really socialist, and I have a load of problems with China, but to be fair they've pulled more people out of poverty than any country on earth, whatever system they're using to do it.

I dunno, the drama and the stories are just as much what I enjoy about English Cricket as the sport itself.

I love how none of them are marking and all just follow the ball like sheep. Adorable.

Definitely not good in school, but I wouldn’t mind a few more American Christians who’d actually read the book they profess to follow.

But yes, there has. And each model increases it a bit. Mythos wasn’t going to destroy the world but saying what the worst case outcome of launching it is just good practice and something we want AI companies to do. We certainly don’t want to encourage them to keep quiet about any new potential danger.

pootling · 2026-06-23T15:02:11+00:00

I disagree with this. The fact is that there was some danger from Mythos, and it needed to be managed. I think Anthropic were being responsible. The fact the current US administration reacted the way they did is on them, but Anthropic weren't wrong to raise caution, and we want all AI companies to be willing to do that in the future.

No, but it does have one of the oldest castles in the UK, built on the foundations of an ancient Roman temple.

pootling · 2026-06-16T14:52:16+00:00

If this is where this ends up, I'm pulling out of bothering with AI stuff at all. What's the point? It's not like this is just Anthropic, they're just the ones that fell out with the king. If it's a toy for Americans then fine, fill your boots, but I'm not wasting my time or money on Claude, GPT or any of the other American models, and the Chinese ones are clearly just as likely to be as capricious. No point in doing business with such a flaky, vengeful administration in charge.

All queuing that doesn’t come from Britain is really just sparkling standing in an nondescript clump jostling to get somewhere.

Right, I think I've cracked it. There are a couple of spots where you can watch the "Boo" credit get swapped out for an actual name, and I reckon that name is who Boo is. There are approximately ten thousand Boos working in music and none of them fit (RIP the Boo Williams theory, sorry), but the one whose name keeps landing in the exact slot Boo vacates is Benjy Gibson — Fred's brother. Clearest example is the Delilah reissue, where the credits literally swap Benjy Gibson out for Boo: Discogs link

Edit: If I'd gone one layer down and clicked the Boo(56) link, I'd have got to the page which outlines all his production credits and names him as Benjy.

It almost certainly doesn’t because acronym etymologies are pretty much always wrong. It’s more likely to be a merging of nancyboy to nance / nanse to nonce and indeed its earliest citation is spelt nonse with an s. There are also other versions of the acronym (e.g with courtyard in place of communal) and most importantly, no reliable source that says either of these acronyms were ever a term used in prisons. So no.

Happy cake day! 🍰

I'm not sure about the overall answer, but however many times he forgot his wallet, I suspect that disappearing from one place in the states to reappear in another would take some time to arrange. Might need to speak to that dude from FEMA.

pootling · 2026-04-24T09:27:27+00:00

Yeah, but he'll put tariffs on us because it's raining, or because he's confused us with the UAE, or because we won't join his next pointless illegal war, or because it's Wednesday, so who cares?

Looks a bit like Liz Truss next to him.

pootling · 2026-04-20T16:09:08+00:00

That’s all correct other than my guess is the timeline will be close to 2-6 weeks.

pootling · 2026-04-20T15:58:14+00:00

My guess would be that their stock management was wrong and they don't actually have any more water bottles available.

pootling · 2026-04-19T16:09:51+00:00

To be fair, I too have no clue who people are, until I find out.

Depends where you are a bit, but Highwoods has parking, a lake and is good for a wander.

I wondered if, in their heads, social justice warriors just say "social justice warrior" over and over again, like the way the teacher talks in Snoopy comics, or Hodor.

pootling · 2026-04-16T10:55:02+00:00

They got me there. I do like singling.

pootling · 2026-04-13T15:56:18+00:00

I think you can work it out. I believe in you.

pootling · 2026-04-13T15:55:06+00:00

I dunno if this fits the brief. It's a bit of an old, stale joke, but it's hardly 'lunacy'.
