Simultaneously amazed and depressed by this historical short story ChatGPT wrote me about Greek scholars fleeing Constantinople in 1453. It's....quite good.

As debate on tax rises returns, it's worth looking at the option of doing something the 6.4m on out-of-work benefits? If sickness benefits had stayed at 2018 levels (and not continued their decline) we'd have the G7's fastest growth, £30bn more revenue. benefitstrap.com/post/economic-…

We count the £ of welfare - but never the (far larger) cost to the economy of missing workers. The OBR should factor this in to show the true cost of this tragedy.

Yes, the murmuration is amazing. But not as amazing as the two faces of big ben showing different times and the London Eye hopping over the Thames from the South Bank.

What is your point, The Secret Barrister 🦋 ? That daily lawbreaking doesn't matter? That young men should commit crimes with impunity? That no one should challenge them? That it's not Jenrick's business? That it's not cool to notice, or care? I'd like to know.

I've been reading about achievements of Soviet cartographers. Bet the Ordnance Survey is a bit embarrassed it can't match this praise their russian colleagues received: “It could crush enemies of the people, spies, saboteurs, fascist bastards from the Trotskiy-Bukharin clique"
