iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Hi. I’m 11 years old wearing open-toed sandals, prone to tripping and wanting to see what was at the bottom of the ravine overlooking the Cetina river in the former Yugoslavia.

And Venetian blinds. They’re evil.

It’s early. Have more coffee.

Every day I come past this on the train into Leeds. I really hope it’s the HQ of a McBusted-style Canadian pop and country singer-songwriter slash 1980s British boy band supergroup.

I’d take my chances with a nuclear winter. Fewer long-term psychological issues than watching MBB.

Things the emergency alert system should be used to warn us about: - Approaching inter-continental ballistic missiles - Wildfires moving into your local area - Episodes of 'Mrs Brown's Boys' being broadcast

Also, that was not an okay use of the emergency system. It's for "shit's going down, you need to act now" situations The risk of wildfires is really bad, yes, I'm not doubting it, but that's not the system to use.

Official statistics show that the government has approved an average of 40 personal independence payments (Pip) a day over the past two years in which ADHD is cited as the main condition.

A fun thing I can do is create test users in the preview database. This is what AI thinks today’s new creation Pomodoro Waitrose looks like.

The AI interpretation of the name Pomodoro Waitrose.

Pomodoro Waitrose sounds like a very posh tomato-themed minor aristocrat.

They’d probably look like this:

A tall, impeccably dressed person in a linen blazer the colour of passata, with a crisp white shirt, olive-green trousers, and loafers they describe as “casual” despite costing £240. Their hair would be glossy and swept back like they’ve just stepped out of a Tuscan deli advert.

They’d carry a reusable Waitrose bag containing:

* San Marzano tomatoes
* sourdough
* basil in a little pot
* one suspiciously expensive bottle of olive oil
* a receipt long enough to suggest poor impulse control

Their vibe would be: “I’m just popping in for milk” but emerges with burrata, heritage carrots, and opinions about tinned tomatoes.

They might introduce themselves as:

“Pomodoro Waitrose. Food writer, allotment enthusiast, and reluctant podcast guest.”

Basically: a tomato who went to private school.

In a non-jury trial, 3 accused have been found non guilty of the murder of my good friend Lyra McKee. Judge argued that guilt couldn’t be beyond a reasonable doubt. We always needed someone to testify. It never happened. Everyday I think of how much we’ve lost. Her courage and talent. Her laugh.

Love dogs? Love protecting the UK's critical infrastructure? www.gov.uk/government/n...

Two dogs sitting side by side on a grassy hilltop at sunset. The dog on the left is a brown and white Springer Spaniel with a black collar, panting happily with its tongue out. The dog on the right is a golden Labrador with a red collar, looking directly at the camera. In the background, the sun is setting over a coastal landscape with a river winding through the valley and the sea visible in the distance.

I wish there was a way to convey the hilarity of a comedy show. But you really had to be there. I lied about being a vicar and loudly suggested (to the hilarity of the audience) that the demonym for people from Canterbury was simply the first syllable of the city’s name. Whilst in said city.
