When the series started in 1973, the average age of the trio of retired elderly men in The Last of The Summer Wine was 53 years old.

I didn't think age was affecting me too much, but I just had to stop myself from shouting "PLEASE!!!" at the person in front of me in a coffee shop who didn't say it when placing their order. I'm wildly purple with fury at the sudden mysterious death of please. I hear its absence everywhere.

I don't think people internationally measure quite how violent the French police is in its interventions against kids. It gives you a good sense of what to expect if the fash win the elections next year.

Well my little darling Saltburn you didn’t make the Polari Prize longlist (congrats to all that did), or sell a great deal of copies, or get many reviews, but I love and am proud of your queer madness, your mermaids, your nuclear power station meltdowns. renardpress.com/books/saltbu...

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

NO. DO NOT DO THIS. Do NOT think about The Event and under NO circumstances attempt to relive The Event. This may cause DISTRESS and CONFUSION. REMAIN INDOORS.

Why do we have to accept this though? The negative impact, on multiple levels, far outweighs the benefits of a technology that the world can happily function without. Its value to society only exists in the minds of CEOs, zealots and investors who don't want to lose their shirts.

The easy way to stop there being new art for you to steal is to make it financially impossible for anybody to earn a living making art. Every branch we all sit on sawn through. Nobody asked for the branches to be sawn through. But they came and sawed through them for us all the same. Twats.

Paying taxes is punishment is it? Some might say it's a contribution to the infrastructure and regulations (like the rule of law) that enables you to build a successful business and, being less transactional, your contribution to society..
