Jesus fucking Christ, is ANYONE going to go and see this?? I guess...Zionists?

Graham Norton is having Ellen DeGeneres AND Quentin Tarantino on his show next week? YIKES. Especially Tarantino. Definitely won’t be watching that, which is a shame since it’s my favourite talk show and there are so few episodes per year. #grahamnortonshow

I’m predicting it now: Tabby and Mark are making the final. #strictly (I actually thought this last week, too, but I had to watch a day late so I didn’t post about it).

Just saw a discussion about whether it’s “okay” to use GenAI images to advertise your work. And TBF most of the small business owners involved were against it, but they were all participating like it was a legit question?? Like in what world would that EVER be okay? It’s false advertising!

Oh that was actually heartbreaking. No one deserved to go home yet, because even the lowest scorers weren’t terrible. Usually there are s couple of duds to get going with. And poor Amy. Last year she was collateral damage because of the MAGA, and it’s so sad to be eliminated first again. #strictly

Catching up on last night’s #strictly, and I’m very confused why the Mary Poppins dance is using the stage musical lyrics instead of the film lyrics for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It’s movie week; why wouldn’t you use the lyrics everyone knows from the film? 🤔

At a the Purple Palace (premier inn) for the next two nights, skipping through the tv channels to see what they have, and they have 🤢GB news🤢. I’ve never even SEEN GB news on a tv before. I feel violated. 🤮

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

My best friend is in NYC, taking photos of famous film/tv locations and watching Schmigadoon on Broadway, while I will shortly be taking a train to Bury and staying in a premier inn by the motorway. 😆😆

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Pleased to report that The Love Hypothesis film is really cute and I got proper romcom feelings from it! This never happens anymore (all the best romcoms were made in the 90s/2000s), so I’m actually delighted. ❤️❤️

Question: how many of you all actually have an HBO Max subscription? I’m just wondering how many people are actually going to watch the HP reboot, because surely only diehard fans are going to bother buying a subscription? And I don’t personally know anyone who already has one!

LinkedIn now has an option where you can hide a post with the reason "Seems like AI slop". I LOVE THIS, and that's not something I thought I'd say about LinkedIn, ever. Other social media platforms need to follow suit immediately.

Had a TERF troll come to my event at Edinburgh today, who wanted to defend the “lovely Jo Rowling” during my q&a. Reader, my reply was impassioned. I didn’t insult her or call her a name; but I robustly and heatedly defended the lives of young trans people against very unlovely billionaires.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Just saw someone post a spoiler for a reality competition show, and preface it with, "Sorry if you haven't watched it yet, but [name] won!" And I just think that's the weirdest thing to do - why apologise for posting a spoiler and still post it? You obv realise maybe people won't want it spoiled!

I knew my best friend loved Dolly, but she just told me that when she was a kid she had posters of Dolly on her bedroom wall, and when her family went on holiday she would take some of the posters with her and put them up in the hotel/holiday home. If that isn’t the sweetest damn thing ever. 🥹🥹🥹😭😭

Oh phooey, the next 3 episodes of #Ludwig only come out on the 10th of Sept? I thought for sure we'd have at least one this week. Not that I'm not grateful for the opportunity to binge 3 at once, but releasing 3, then pausing for 3 weeks, and then the next 3, seems like a strange decision.

Just watched. If the Gary Cooper role wasn’t meant for Cary Grant, I’ll be very surprised. Lots of fun; classic Howard Hawks direction with a script by Billy Wilder! You can’t go too far wrong with that.
