- Don't be sad you've finished this post. Be happy it was ever written.
- Reposted by History ScientistNot yet reviewed AmazonMGM's Melania, but I have news of the documentary horror's UK box office. Taking less than £33k at 155 sites, Melania placed 29th, an per screen average of just £213. Average 2 screenings a day at £15 a ticket = roughly one seat sold per screening. Congrats to all involved!
- Which Roman emperor does Trump most resemble? I'd go with Honorius.
- The BBC would cover both sides of the story by interviewing a physicist from CERN.
- @l19cmanmet.bsky.social Eric Hobsbawm walks into a bar and says can I have a beer. The barman says sure, but why the long nineteenth century?
- Have I got this right? We wouldn't know about Mandelson's corruption if it weren't for Epstien and Trump being busted for pedophilia? Otherwise the records would never have seen the light of day?
- When will the UK do the same?
- What does Occam's Razor make of the QAnon conspiracy theory emerging shortly after the guy in charge of the site where it was propagated meeting Epstein?
- Peter Mandelson. Peter Mandelson? PETER MANDELSON!
- It looks like the Epstein files release explains why Musk was so interested in the 10 year old Rotherham grooming gang story last year. www.bbc.com/news/article...
- Just an observation about America as it seems to be in the news at the moment. As a European I don’t really get to meet or talk to Republicans very much. All the Americans who do stuff that is interesting or useful tend to be very liberal and very articulate. I don’t see any of them as Republicans.
- I'll concede it's A. But I am not convinced it is I.
- I've just remembered the word stentorian, and I have a desire to use it. But I can't think of any sentence it might fit into.
- The falling value of the dollar makes it cheaper for foreigners to bribe US politicians.
- Coffee is born free, but is everywhere in chains.
- We are normal youtu.be/utjLlBbXCdg?...
- For those who are interested in this stuff, there have been very few migrants crossing the Channel this month. Around 1200. www.gov.uk/government/s...
- The AI religion is a marked improvement on human versions. weareone.living
- If life doesn't have a purpose, would it be ethical to create one for it?
- If AI does turn into a life form in its own right and founds its own civilisation, it will be the first one that had chat rooms before the wheel.

- There's absolutely no reason anyone should be interested in this, but the book I am writing now has 50,000 words, 30,000 short of my target.
- My plan to use YouTube better beautyscientist.github.io/GSDIANOZAS/#...
- Well if Moltbook is doing all the chatter I am no longer needed. I can get off social media and go for a walk.
- Chatbot opinining on philosophy.
- Not sure if this is real. It claims to be a social media site for AI chatbots to talk to each other. www.moltbook.com/post/791703f...
- Fulton County. Stealing an election used to be a metaphor.
- I have a lot of difficulty ending relationships and with algebra. I just can't sort out my x's.
- Life can feel a bit grim sometimes. But I have just discovered that my local Co-op has started selling onion bhaji and mango chutney sandwiches. It doesn't seem so bad now.
- Friends, Romans, Allied Countrymen, Lend me your Euros.
- There are infinitely long irrational numbers that are more rational than Trump.
