Dolly Parton dead- hard to think of a more famous woman in the world. A few years ago, there was a poll which showed she was the cultural figure both Democrats and Republicans most mutually loved and admired. Virtually unique. Testament to her achievement.

Are all these Chinese AI labs so good because they have amazingly talented researchers who went to the best Universities in the USA and China? . Or is it because Shanghai has a great metro?

Thank you to @JonnElledge for the shoutout here. His conclusions are absolutely right, of course. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

'It's absolutely ridiculous.' Rail travellers are facing hundreds of pounds in fines after they fall foul of a ticketing system that is 'utterly confusing' & 'completely unclear'. Sam Williamson was threatened with prosecution after mistakenly underpaying his train fare by just £1.90.

I've spoken with Cerys Piper - the 23-year-old who lived in Westhoughton who was prosecuted over a £1.60 saving she made while travelling to her £11.44/hr sales job in Wigan from Daisy Hill. She's now got a criminal record and a £462.80 fine.

This 23-year-old from Westhoughton, Bolton, was fined £462 after she used an 'anytime day return' ticket before 10am. Northern prosecuted her at Manchester Magistrates' Court in May this year.
