Everything wrong with this country summarised in one tweet > Clueless nanny state super councillors think more regulations and bans will solve everything > VPN & Tor downloads surge overnight > Kids are now pushed to the dark web Embarassing beyond words
Claude can't help due to "unexpected constraints", last time I asked ChatGPT to do this particular donkey work (generating a sqlalchemy.orm datamodel from a table definition) it took hunting down weird bugs with it than it would have taken me to write. AI isn't coming for my job
Remember how in the 1980's London was in constant threat from IRA terrorists, so the British Army bombed Derry to the ground, blocked all the borders to Northern Ireland and destroyed all the streets in Belfast? Well, me neither. Perhaps this is not a way to fight terrorism.
Why can Dijon, France plan, approve, and build a 12 mile tramway in 4 years, while it takes 13 years to build a 1 mile tram extension in Birmingham? Our new report, written with @createstreets, explores how Britain can make building new tramways cheaper and faster. 🧵

That James Timpson appointment really is rather exciting. Genuinely a man who's used what power he has to improve the outcome of people's lives who've been through prison - given the power of the state to do it bigger. This more than anything I've heard so far gives me hope.

Because I never get tired of this joke: It's statistics if it's in R. It's machine learning if it's in Python. It's AI if it's in PowerPoint.
this from @forrestbrazeal is just wonderful. i properly laughed out loud
Conservative minister Chris Philp here really struggling to grasp the fact that Rwanda and Congo are two entirely different countries.
Good morning everyone, as we celebrate the anniversary of history’s least successful scene guard. Please take a moment to remember the night duty legionaries about to go into a ‘no sella, no buccellatum’ meeting with their centurion.
"Birmingham City Council has confirmed it will raise council tax by 21% over the next two years as part of £300m budget savings. Street lights are to be dimmed, waste collections are to become fortnightly, while burial costs will increase." Ooooof. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

It’s been a horrible few days. My family in the Catholic Church in Gaza city are reporting white phosphorous and gunfire into their compound. The bin collector and the janitor have been shot and their bodies are laying outside and remain uncollected. 1/2
