SAVAGED

The media tributes to Paul O'Grady (and his alter-ego Lily Savage) strip him of his politics and smooth away the sharp edges that enhanced his greatness

To kill a French vampire, you need to drive a baguette through their heart. That might sound easy, but I assure you, it's painstaking.

Somebody mentioned trying to be more like Instagram, and *bam* overnight they have completely destroyed the mobile app. The interface has become unusable, presenting me with tracks that I have to say "Not Interested" in rather than the helpful selections and excellent Daily Mixes that came up before. These cards have to be swiped through like the crappy social media apps. Font size has broken too.

Just seen a stunning advert for showing the daily struggles of a teenager with . Incredibly close to our situation, so had me hooked. Was surprised to find the product was for Vanish stain remover, the point being that clothing is often an important comfort . So caring for those fabrics is important.
Well done

Got the kiddo a drum kit for her birthday (electronic, obv, for reasons of preserving sanity) and the first thing she does is bang out the intro to reggae classic "Girlie Girlie".

My wife says that any time someone proposes doing anything with an ML model, you should replace “AI” in the proposal with “trained weasels” and if it still sounds like a good idea you can go ahead with it.

1/ CONQUERING CRIMEA: PART 1

Since 2014, Crimea has been under Russian control. Ukraine, naturally, wants it back. But what does history show about the challenges of reconquering it? In a series of threads, I'll look at the lessons of past wars.
