Halo: Discovers Customers.
The online community killed Halo Studios and I'm not afraid to say it with my whole chest. The constant complaining and brigading by the loudest voices in the community are directly responsible for the state of the studio/franchise, more so than anything 343/HS have done.

The definition of advanced technology is that it lets us see and do things that we never knew we wanted to see and do.
On one hand: obvious AI slop. On the other hand: a lore-accurate depiction of the Lamenters as the awe-inspiring heroes we know them to be.

Random question. Are the Paralympians supposed to be missing anatomy before or after the event?
Might I suggest a process improvement?

"Passport to Piddlington" sounds like a remake.
The Oxfordshire village of Piddington has voted in favour of independence from the UK in a symbolic protest against plans to house male asylum seekers at a nearby former military base.

Apparently the government is comparing a bbq to a nuclear weapon. Its not that the UK government is stupid and incompetent, its stupid and incompetent with no sense of proportion.

Thinking aloud. The weird thing is that being made a professor at 35 would imply that Arday's PhD was gold standard and everyone would want to read it, and use it as a template for their own work and to guide their students. Apparently no one did.

With Professor Arday showing that UK academia are incompetent idiots, once again I am reminded of the wisdom of Tom Lehrer "Lobachevsky". It was intended as satire, not industry best practise. I am never forget the day My first book is published Every chapter I stole from somewhere else Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory This book was sensational! Pravda - well, Pravda - Pravda said: (Russian double-talk) It stinks But Izvestia! Izvestia said: (Russian double-talk) It stinks Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva buys movie rights for six million rubles Changing title to The Eternal Triangle With Brigitte Bardot playing part of hypotenuse

The important thing in UK politics isn't policies, those are trivia that cause people to complain. The important thing is vibes.

Literally for the first time at Taco Bell explosive diarrhea is a bug, not a feature.

Has anyone else wondered if the Supergirl movie is basically people doing the scheme from The Producers - deliberately choosing the worst director, writer, actress and they've avoided making the profit so they can now slide away?

So, as with the dying days of the Soviet Union, we are now into Kremlinology. Does cancelling the shills mean they are confident the film is good and so why bother? Or does it mean they think the film is bad so word will leak out early. Its impossible to know for sure.

Historically with Mary Tudor doing that things may be a bit concerning for Lady Sue Grey.
I think the least Andy Burnham should do is arrive in London on horseback at the head of an army of Northerners, greeted as liberators by cheering peasants in the Midlands, and by exuberant London apprentices.

This is peak EU. Replace Google Search with a European alternative that turns out is just a front end for Bing.
To reduce European dependence on American technology firms, the European Parliament has replaced Google with a French search engine, Qwant. Qwant generates its search results by querying the Microsoft Bing API.
