Wat maakte George Orwell in 1984 zo optimistisch over de toekomst? De klassieke roman 1984 van George Orwell heeft door de jaren heen veel faam vergaard vanwege de voorspellende waarde die het boek zou hebben.

@gwr.com It previously worked, because I've bought tickets through the app before. And when I needed to do the password reset for the new app today, the mail arrived safely. But now I can't log in through the website or the app.

@gwr.com your app is refusing to recognise my email as valid. It ends in .eu which might be unusual for a UK account but it isn't invalid. Not sure what I should do now

Just paid €1,14 for two limes and a packet of wholemeal flatbreads at my local Lebanese corner shop. It was the right amount: I checked in case they'd forgotten to charge for something. Hoe kan dat?

Tweet from Alexander Clark: I was explaining at dinner that linguists disagree radically about almost everything and one person said so what do they actually agree about? Just that languages exist? And I was like: well you might want to sit down for this

The core thing wrong with The Discourse ℒ️ is general is the constant attempt to reduce things down to simplistic choices when life is never, ever that simplistic

That’s why the stories we find the most compelling in life are always shades of grey

Things are never black and white

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

I think arguing with Martin Lewis about personal finances on GMB is a bold political strategy.
Worth following up by having a fight with David Attenborough about conservation on BBC Breakfast.

Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation.
Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

BBB is idd gezegend met een overvloed aan talent. Raar dus dat Femke Wiersma de rol niet kreeg na haar schitterende prestatie in kabinet-Schoof. Het is toch hartverwarmend om te zien hoe Mona Keijzer gedijt en bloeit in haar gekozen clubje.
