There's nothing like being woken up after 2 hours of sleep when your little cat has arrived in your room and then vomited a massive fur ball on the end of your bed

Not going to specify what people can have BUT I'd highly recommend the following: Sun-Mi Hwang's The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi and The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa. Each book was completely engaging

Just your random reminder that AI companies are not your friends and do not actually give a shit about making your life better. Generative AI is built on theft & data centers are destroying the environment. If people want to use AI, no one can stop them but there's currently no ethical use of AI.

Uncut Gems. I'm aware that there is a huge amount of love for this film -it was the Surprise film at the LFF and so many people were walking out from 1/3rd of the way through. I stuck with it but I was genuinely miserable. It felt like serving a jail sentence, I simply can't find a redeeming feature

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

After this 100% wrong AI summary, I pledged some money to Wikipedia. I think we should all do that. It might be the answer. Imagine if it vanished cos more people wanted to invest in the planet-burning lying plagiarism machine than in crowd-sourced open access information.
