Typically useless Guardian article.

Did you notice the obvious mistake in the description of the tapestry, Tim?

Timmaaaay!!!!!!!!

Thank you soooo much.
Did you see the article on the right side of your link, the one titled "Are robots about to rise?"

According to that article, google has started a "Manhattan project" for artificial intelligence.

It's a fucking cross-stitch, not a goddamn tapestry. It's not WOVEN, the singular requirement of tapestrydom.

I am very thankful for fans who buy these merchandise.  This is often the reason why the shows are made with the budget they have.  It is now increasingly difficult to make money out of selling the rights to see these shows.  So merchandise is the way to go.

It emulates the Bayeux Tapestry, which is famously also not actually a tapestry, but by dint of being called the same for a thousand years gets a pass on the misnomer.
