What is it about commentators who ask their co-host a question but continue to ramble on, either trying to answer the question themselves or the question becomes irrelevant as some other event happens causing a complete distraction?

TLDR: to 'solve' trash content on trash surveillance platforms, BigTech AI will flag whether content is 'good' or not.

Can we please stop falling for this? This isn't 'solving' the problem. It's simply consolidating control over platforms w/o attending to who will wield it.

One of my students yesterday was telling me how much they enjoy Simon Singh's Parallelograms - these are free weekly math challenges with 15-30 minutes of fun maths, including a lot of great story, context and history etc. too!

Gotta love the Facebook OpSec heroes who try police people sharing whereabouts of military aircraft.

OpSec hero: 'I think we all know. Perhaps not tell the whole world…'

These are absolutely great - I have one that sits on my desk - they're a fab gift for a train nerd, or anyone who wants to keep an eye on their local rrail or tube station UK Departure Boards

This got reported. I've been told it has been passed to a local officer for investigation, but heard nothing else since. I have it all on video, but had no request for it. Should I read anything into this?

The driver has been conspicuously absent in the past few weeks.

Imagine having so little faith in drivers that you'd rather leave your car at the mercy of all those unlicensed, untaxed and uninsured pedestrians, filtering up the inside of your car and not giving your pride and joy 1.5m of space.
