The descent continues ...

I was 100% aware of this word ... but ... Oxford Word of the Year?

Slow year.

Still running a 2005 Toyota right here ... I wanted to get rid of it a few years ago, but it's turning into a classic before my very eyes (in my heart anyway).

Has never let me down ... even once ... * knock on wood *

Also enjoying maintaining a 69 Beetle... no Wifi, no tracking, hardly any electronics at all ... LOVE IT.

And though I love driving, I don't drive that often, so my emissions are low.

Sorry, you can keep your new cars.

When I read the title I thought this might be some new programming fork, but was secretly hoping for ... an Anti Tank Vespa! And it is!

2 out of 3 with room for improvement. I'll take it compared to some places I've been.

Excellent site ... except for the UI nit of not being able to judge how long the article is ... on my browser, at least.

Saved for later as I had no idea how long it will take to read it ...

You mean, like how we interact with ChatGPT? ;-)

What are the absolute numbers?

The percentages don't appear comparable here. They also don't allow for future multiplier effects from the spending.

No agenda, just holding that sentence up to a little scrutiny.

This sounds all true, but on Twitter - I never had the issue before so it seems more than a coincedence.

In fact, I used to be very surprised to read that Twitter had been previously widely used for porn adverts. I was kind of deluded into not even thinking about it. But scratch the surface and it was there. But it never appeared in my daily use.

Prior to the takeover I had been oblivious to it. After the takeover, the surface was scratched and what had previously been "underground" really made itself known in my twitter feed.

That isn't what made me leave the platform, but just my observation at the time.

You mean, Twitter.

I had the opposite experience. I never had this problem either, until all the firings happened.

After that, either someone wasn't looking after the thirst traps, or they actively changed the throttle of them so they kept appearing.

That was about a month before I left that cess pit.

The context is that the current government have been pushing for the name change from India to Bharat, to appease the hard line hindutvas India ... or, at least, the, nationlists.

You have to (I believe) acknowledge that this is a next level situation though.

I've never seen it this bad in the UK.

Health risks of travel in post-modern Britain.

A nation awash with sewage and corrupt leaders leading to episodes of ill-health and death.
