Noit

Aardman are the studio behind Wallace and Gromit, absolute artists producing claymation animation.

Honestly I’m excited for this. I hope Aardman stay true to their roots and just give us silly Pokémon hijinks in a northern English town.

I'm so glad we've gotten back to lava lamps being kind of cool.

This weekend I was literally buying 3D printed parts off a kid on our estate. I want my own but I have to go through the mother of all garage clearances first. Then I will be straight down that rabbithole.

That's really interesting to know, thank you! Was that through the Right to Choose process, or did you just go to the NHS post-titration and say "gib drugs pls"?

I guess, but has there not been a conversation about vapes in that time? The risk profile is different but as far as I know cancer is still a concern?

Eh, if the structure as described (members list their interests and sit out where there is a conflict of interest) is working as intended then I don’t see why she can’t have a job giving opinions on the cancer risk of eggs or asbestos or whatever. She might even be positioned well to understand those risks.

But it absolutely stretches credulity that an org focusing on cancer has not had a discussion she needed to sit out of in five years. Which means either the structure is not working as described (bad), she’s lying out of her arse (worse), or this org is simply not having these incredibly important discussions (catastrophic).

According to Ian Dunt's How Westminster Works and Why It Doesn't, the HoL is the only place where high quality scrutiny of legislation actually takes place. It shouldn't be that way, in theory that should be something MPs do. But MPs aren't taught to scrutinise legislation, often are not lawyers, and have what is basically a full time job on top of that running constituencies and lobbying on behalf of their constituents. So actually the HoL is currently very necessary.

Hold on, in the last five years of the UK Gov's Committee on Carcinogens, smoking and vaping haven't come up once? Are we to take her at her word for that? If so that's insane. Obviously if it isn't then she needs to be out of there so fast her feet don't touch the ground.

I have to say I'd love to see this done. In a simulation. From outside. It sounds like the equivalent of a car crash test for the entire state. Which bits come off first? Who dies and who gets away with lifelong injuries? How many infants get fired through the windscreen? Vote Reform and find out.

This has been an issue since long before LLMs. Before the AI summary box, scammers used targeted ads to place ahead of the actual company you were searching for.

I laughed more at this episode than just about anything else this year. Watching half a dozen lads driven fully demented by a man and his ten hour quest to shoot a horse. Truly magical.
