'Dubai is finished': Expats say they will leave and never come back as tax-free dream is shattered by war and officials begin prosecuting people for posting videos of missiles

My wife has a friend from years ago, in contact in FB, who is very happy clappy in posts about how great the authorities are for keeping people safe.

You scratch the glitzy surface and the veneer comes off pretty quickly !

It’s outrageous that someone can be charged for simply taking footage of a missile . How many people even knew about this ridiculous law ?

More to the point, what's the point of Dubai if you can't put WWIII up on Instagram/Tiktok?

Actually it's quite reassuring that, having travelled the world, been to 100 countries, fucked 10000000 women, done everything legal and most things illegal, a grizzled and raddled old libertine like me can still find a remarkable new vegetable, quietly hanging out in every supermarket. Celeriac

I wouldn’t worry, I’m guessing I will work out how fun AI is in about 15 years. Things come to us at different times, but when we are ready.

My obsession with AI - which has bored all my friends and family titless these past four years, even more than it has bored PB - is now turning into serious wonga

Turns out that being obsessive about technology at an early stage can be rather beneficial when that tech turns into the Next Big Thing

But I am not allowed to talk about it, so you'll just have to guess how I used it

If you're interested in AI, watch this BBC TV series presented by Hannah Fry.

ON topic, I just cooked celeriac for the first time

Yes, it's this kind of news that makes PB addictive and compelling

But how nice is celeriac? Wow. Had it in a mash with potato and loads of butter, sea salt, kampot pepper, chili flakes, mmmm

CELERIAC

You read it here last

There’s someone who’s never had a veg box from Abel & Cole. You’re so far behind the curve.

Wait till he has a kohlrabi.

Or a Jerusalem artichoke.

Celeriac is far tastier and has chewier consistency than turnip or swede.

As any fule kno, celeriac is also part of the standard flavour base in Germany, Poland, etc.

It's also great julienned as a non-carb replacement for carby staples.

It's not your obsession with AI, it is your constant need for pbCOM to feed your narcissistic supply over the years. That is boring and tedious comrade.

Or roasted. I also julienne it raw in salad

Great on a swineherd's pie.
