I just saw the most amazingly corporate expression of "we did what the bosses wanted us to do, even though the research didn't support that." The actual phrase was:
The research employed a methodology that prioritized stakeholder voice over researcher interpretation.
I wonder if a data scientist slipped that in to make it clear to other folks how this happened. You don't have to write stuff like this if the boss wants to do what the research says is a good idea. You only have to write this if the research says one thing and the boss says another.

There’s been a fucking Cybertruck parked in front of my house for five days. So annoying.
@mattround if it sprouts one of those cctv-daleks then it might be a tribute to HS2

I was invited to Mastodon on Facebook, by a handsome werewolf. Now I pretty much live on Mastodon, and rarely post anything to Facebook.
Encourage people on other platforms to join us. It can be a life-changing experience for them.

498) Villagebots. Inform young men that there's a place they can go when they're in a new town. Somewhere that has everything for them to enjoy and where they can hang out with all the boys. #SmallRobotsRemastered

People keep sharing an image of a bird with a drop of water bursting on its head like a crown. It's AI, but people share it in good faith, believing it’s an amazing photo by a human of a real bird in a real moment of time. Meanwhile, humans who have taken amazing photos of real birds captured in real moments of time, like a hummingbird in ballet with a butterfly, get questioned in good faith by people who are tired of being cheated by AI-deceit. The way AI has broken social trust is distressing.
@mattround RIP their comedically large pair of goldfish

@stavvers Related game: pretend like you believe those “thin blue line” Blue Lives Matter flags are some sort of “supporting trans cops” flags.
@Li @JetlagJen @stavvers the kind of folks who are concerned about 2+ consenting adults doing things together very broadly should have their hard drive checked before being allowed to shout about it
@JetlagJen @stavvers "....sex... think of the children.."
"I think if you conflate those two we need to seek legal advice and potentially hire a woodchipper for you to sit in"
@stavvers this raises the concept of segregated disabled cubicles and horny cubicles. possibly even horny-disabled cubicles for inclusivity.
not horny-family or horny-babychanging cubicles though. this isn't the whitehouse.

AI memes may be here to stay, but I shall not knowingly partake in their creation and sharing. (If I accidentally repost an AI meme/image, feel free to call me out.)
@adam BPO, but brain not business...
"do this thing I don't like doing, but half-assed according to some vague metric which only counts if I catch you out not meeting it at some point"
