I am getting so sick of AI assistants in apps. I want to read my document, not have AI summarise it. I don't want Alexa to recommend stuff to me. I want to easily turn the AI bot off, so that it stays off. Is that too much to ask?!

There's nothing worse than getting to 90% in a book, as the tension builds, and realising there's too much book left for the next few chapters to go well 🫣 I'm scared, and there's no way I'm stopping now even though there's still an hour and a half to go. Who needs dinner anyway...

Why, when I go to buy a book online, is this the product ⚠️ warning?

What is the point of telling me when my delivery will be, if you then fail to meet your own estimates?-Royal Mail Edition Please note the timestamps. And you didn't leave it in my porch. You left it outside, because having missed the window you gave me, I'd locked my porch & gone to do something.

Also a problem for single dads with daughters and single mums with sons. The only thing this will do is make the queue for the only ungendered toilet longer. BTW... that's the disabled toilet, that there's never enough of. Stop making it difficult for people to use a toilet.

How A Publisher Almost Killed The Book I Waited My Whole Life To Write: a thread My novel Villager came out in 2022. It was published by Unbound, who had little marketing/sales power. But I was excited & proud, since I worked so f-ing hard on it. Here's an extract: www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

For anyone who thinks Amazon's Teacher's Picks are genuinely picked by teachers and not AI, please be warned. Their age ratings often miss the mark by miles. Suggesting Graham Greene's Brighton Rock is suitable from years 1-9 is recklessly misleading at best. Year 12-13 maybe, but year 1, never. 🤬

Not sure anyone can help me,but I want one of those mini thermal printers. You can pick the printers up cheap, but the paper is quite expensive. Worst of all, it appears you can't actually use the printer without a subscription app. I don't want a subscription. I just want a mini thermal printer.

The Terry Pratchett Estate @terrypratchett.bsky.social · 27/08/2025
On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published. To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door.

But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown.

So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy.

Rob Wilkins

Woke up today and it feels like autumn. I also had a strong feeling that I need to buy a new jumper. I've worn my favourite heavy hoodie all year so far, and now I want something similar. My problem is I now have a very exacting idea of the jumper I want, and it's going to take ages to find one.

To all melting Brits, an ode to the cost of aircon. I'm surviving; wishing away summer with arms and legs stuck out of the covers. The citrus smell of insect repellent and air so thick the fan judders and rattles with the strain. Sleep deprived muggy days of watering garden pots one can at a time.

Ableism isn't just the obvious slurs and refusal of adjustments. Most of it is in subtle language choices. Such as a SENCO continuously using the phrase "will not" when the truth is a disabled child "cannot". Disability is not a choice. #Autism #Anxiety #ADHD #AuDHD #Ableism

The alternative? Kill creativity. Kill art. Kill music. Kill the ability for one of the most productive industries in the UK (according to GDP) to earn money. Why allow big American corps to steal from UK creatives? Also AI has other more beneficial uses than thieving from artists.
