How delicious! As an alternative, people could always just use their own brain like in the good old days
anthropic is about to watermark the text claude writes for you, worldwide, starting tuesday. the detector goes to regulators, journalists and big enterprises. everyone except the person who paid for the text. so your cold email, your linkedin post, the resume you rewrote three times can get flagged as claude by some hr tool or editor, and you can't even run the check yourself to see what they'll see. openai only does this in the eu. anthropic rolled it out everywhere. you pay them monthly and they build a snitch layer on top of your work.

After this moment, these men will statistically earn more, live longer, nearly halve their substance use, commit far less crime, and have their brains literally rewired for protection. Men need children. Children need fathers. Society needs both.

My mom and dad tend to get lost in the plots of movies and shows. So I built this little site for them. I thought I’d share it with others so you can benefit as well waitimconfused.com

Extraordinary story developing in Crawley in which Labour councillors have repeatedly sought to grant planning permission for a private faith school against the legal advice of their officers. Read the story below and make your own minds up.

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now.

Crystal Palace lives on, of course, in boomer parents. “This place is lit up like Crystal Palace,” they’d say, while aggressively turning off a 40 watt bulb that had been left on
I spend a lot of time, perhaps too much, thinking about the lost architecture of Britain. Crystal Palace was the most tremendous loss of the modern era, yet it's rare to see any pictures of it. When built in 1851, it was the largest building in the world and three times the size of St Paul's Cathedral. What's more, that immense ironwork and 293,000 glass panels went up in just 190 days for the World's Fair. Almost 1 million square feet of glass. An extraordinary feat. It was razed in a fire in the 1930s and never rebuilt.

Something to cheer @PaulinusOfTrier
Our first cohort of GCSE Latin students began their course in September, after three years of KS3 Latin teaching. We’re very proud of this. We are a school that is now over 70% PP. Don’t make Latin the preserve of the elite.

Has someone been appointed to the BBC to promote the Defund campaign? Who needs this patronising waffle? Your child wasn't invited to the party - here's how to handle the disappointment bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr86…

My fave email sign-off ever has to be when I was working at Cambridge University Press, temporarily looking after the Sociology list. I was sorting out picture permissions for a book on Bob Marley and one of the contributors signed off every email: One love
I think I might start using ‘please hesitate to respond’.

Given how fascinated and triggered you are by the one true church, I wonder how long it'll be before you convert. Or maybe you're just too proud, or not curious enough? Anyway, one thing we can agree on is that we're all sinners. See you in Purgatory!
The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Leo has been diagnosed with lung cancer, following a successful surgery to remove a growth in his right lung. He may sit in the seat of the anti-Christ- that man of sin and son of perdition-but we pray for a swift recovery.
