The conversations always seem to assume the scientists had enough data to understand what was or would happen. The first lockdown at least wasn’t driven by “relative harm to cohorts” there was the distinct possibility that services would collapse entirely.

He said - we would not cheer on our national leaders if they did THIS while every shade of American seems to be really happy about being corrupt if it gets the result they want

The only one of the three things the gov is really failing on is housing. Fixing the budget, housing and energy are the priorities to fix everything else.

We are earning ok, we just have very high housing and energy costs which suck it all up. Net zero and the deficit are the right priorities to fix that but you won’t feel it till the 2030s as a new energy system and market slowly gets cheaper as inflation whittles the capital costs away.

Or their priorities are clear. They think we can actually cope on defence and free ride a bit so are prioritising driving down the deficit and welfare to keep back benchers on side. They just aren’t prepared to own it. So it looks like dithering.

in a moribund council for your party it is incredibly hard to get off the ground. Once a “paper” candidate gets through you actually develop some more physical support and momentum like grit in an oyster. It is near impossible to do anything other than paper candidates with 3 men and a dog

A lot of reservists join not expecting to get a brown envelope through the door, or to volunteer to mobilise. They still know it might happen and put their hand up.

They’re a functional necessity and often turn out to be very capable. You don’t need a strategy for your one council member. They can probably work it out for themselves

I don’t question that AI is probably doing a good imitation of consciousness. I am just not convinced that my brain isn’t either.

To the point where my partner made it very clear that she would never take my name. Not so much on feminist grounds as because it’s s**t. I do not understand the choice.

It is really odd, to have grown up with a name that is uncommon but not rare enough to be exotic and that also sounds fantastically dull … to suddenly see Harrison Ford, Helen Miren and Kevin Costner playing relatives in some enormous hit.

Chinese EVs will be ubiquitous outside of China as well as inside. The value is too good. Mandarin is hard to learn, Chinese EVs are cheap for what they offer.

The assumption that a public ceremony of personal and familial devotion is just a bureaucratic procedure people should get on with for the tax and procedural benefits seems a bit ghoulish to me. But I’m just a man baby who wants the state to fix all my familial issues.

I didn’t ask them to. Neither did anyone in that article. But a lot of people seem to- unbidden to think some period of proven cohabitation could be used instead of a marriage to gain the same rights.
