What do we do with duplicates?
The original and duplicate are placed in a Document Arena (or Docudome™), then we turn away from them and allow one to consume the other, unobserved. This is a double-blind trial, where we don't know which was the original. Thus, only the strongest document survives.

Spanish Deputy PM Yolanda Díaz argues the EU's “servile” attitude toward Washington could fuel Euroskeptic sentiment and contribute to a far-right surge.

It is a mark of the dimness of the Trump cabal that they didn’t just order identical shoes in the correct size from the same website their glorious leader got them, and instead just accepted they’d clomp around in clown shoes for the rest of their lives.
Can you hear me Colman Domingo?
They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.
British public: we don't think Trump's scattergun, petulant, aimless bombing of Iran is a good idea & we shouldn't join in
Politicians: wrong
Public: It would be nice to see a chaffinch on a tenner
Politicians: WRONG!
I have a solution that will please both sides
Adele has a net worth an estimated £170m.
Wow Kenny. That must be such a massive net.
Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
Oh boy! What a headline...
Ask yourself:
"What am I being asked to believe?"
"Who am I being told to blame?"
Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.
Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

Trevor Phillips is on Times Radio at the moment presenting its lunchtime show and talking about the imminent release of the Mandelson files. He’s not mentioned that Peter Mandelson has been his friend for many years and was best man at his first wedding.
Culture war latest: the Bank of England has announced that after a public consultation, to which it received 44,000 responses, the next new banknotes will feature native wildlife.
Tories: "It is deeply depressing that under Lab our national heroes are considered too 'divisive' to be on bank notes."
No one pretends to be guileless quite as well as right-wing newspapers.
This week, they're all suddenly shocked to discover that Gerry Adams was in the IRA.
I still think about this a lot.
So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
In 1983, Ruth Schwartz Cowan published a book called More Work for Mother where she argued that modern household tech (washing machines/vacuums) didn't reduce women's housework time, it just raised standards of domesticity. Household work is never shortened by tech & you can extrapolate that out.
Me too, but nobody grows up wanting to be an Excel geek 🤓
Lammy's plans smack of desperation after a jury acquitted some protestors. This isn't about justice for women. Women accused, often victims of abuse, will be denied juries too. And they may be up against a judge who lets off sex offenders for being "of good standing".

A fish decided to walk, and now I have to use pivot tables.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
I'm sorry but 'courtiers too scared to take off the shoes they've been bought' is proper mad emperor, end of days stuff.
The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.
It helps if you start from the perspective that actually saying 'due to this war, things will get worse' is more helpful than making unduly optimistic claims.
