Can confirm: I am British and know more than my fair share of trivia

Started Blackshirts & Reds, which will probably be the fastest I have got through non-fiction before. Other than that, finished The Fall of Hyperion. That was good, not great. Interesting, but a bit too up itself in places.

They took away Shamima Begum’s citizenship after she was groomed at 15. I’m sure the same justice will be applied to those who participate in genocide.

Even some libs on Mastodon are referring to it as a kidnapping

Never seen ads in a read me before

Good one, very useful

Most of these are French loans

I thought this was more of a British-American pronunciation difference: I (English) generally say roo-ting, and I’ve only ever heard USians say row-ting (row like argument, not like rowing a boat).

I sat through a meeting today where we played a game: guess the brand shown in the AI slop images. This was after being shown uses of Gemini like “ask questions about the current meeting” (presumably because most meetings are meaningless and nobody listens)

Weird for Ireland to abstain
