So while my mother is away, I'm tasked with feeding her rescue hedgehogs. Worth it.
I'm no legal expert. But are calls for the former Prince Andrew's (alleged*) crimes of being a nonce to be sent to an American prison forgetting that under Section 72 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, he could perfectly also be tried and sent to prison here?

It's too action packed to draw out all the amazing features this month in one post. So I'm just going to demand you read it!
Isn't that EXACTLY what someone planning a defection would say tho'?
This is a defection going on here?
The are reports he has earned more than Β£140k. Based on the number of reviews, I suspect the register needs updating.
Which all means, at this rate, by the end of the Parliament, Farage has the potential to earn on par, or more than his salary as an MP (Β£93,904) from this one platform alone.
If they're all the cheap Β£78.46 option, that's 1,610 Cameos. Or ~17 hours worth of Cameos (the average is 39 seconds).
Although the self-reported number of ours worked on Cameos is higher at 135 hours.
The Nigel Farage's Cameo gaff probably shouldn't be the highlight here. The real interesting story, to me at least, is how much it's earning him - which is viable in the register of MPs interests.
Since becoming an MP, he has declared earnings of Β£126,330.89 from the platform. π§΅
UK police have blamed Microsoft Copilot for an intelligence mistake. Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant made up a non-existent football match and British police included the mistake in an intelligence report. Yikes. Details on the Copilot mistake hereπ www.theverge.com/news/861668/...

In 2023, I figured out a repair workflow for DJI drone batteries, and wrote a small blog about it.
In the last 12-months, it's gotten 11.6k views, and 78 confirmed battery repairs, probably many more. That's at least Β£6k out of DJI's pocket.
That's a nice feeling.
