Well this is some pretty great news to wake up to. The Greens have established ourselves as the path to beating Reform.
DuckDuckGo is doing a poll: "Do you want AI?"
They had to know that this would be the outcome.
Cat your own vote if you like:
I don't have a news link for this because it's very new (we're ground zero) but I wanna get this out there as soon as I can.
Throw out any "play sand" you might have in your house right away. It might be contaminated with asbestos.
We recently threw a party for our 7 year old and invited a bunch of kids. One of the moms thought she recognised the sand from a recall in New Zealand and had it tested the next day. It was positive.

We're hosting a Great Big Birthday Party for my kid and we'll have to cut the cake, but don't want to have my big chef's knife lying around.

The #RailSale here in the UK is running this week and hoooly shit the rates are amazing. Even by comparison to civilised countries with affordable rail service, this is good.
If you're planning any trips in the UK, you'd do well to check the rates this week.

I've been toying with an idea in my head for industrial-scale water desaliation for *years* but don't have the artistic skills to draw it such that anyone will understand what I'm talking about. However, I wrote out a rather detailed breakdown of what it looks like (see the alt text), and ChatGPT generated a "mostly ok" rendering -- far better than I could ever do anyway. This might help me explain it to other people.
This is probably the most frustrating thing for me about Britain. The insistence of clinging to anachronistic designs and customs in the face of obvious superior alternatives, wrapped in an overly precautionary sign that offers little more than legal liability cover.
Just get a mixer tap already.
