This is an incredible snapshot of the malignancy of our economic system. The very people working in AI think AI needs to be slowed, that it's out of control, that it has a 10% chance of bringing about human extinction - but they can't stop it themselves bcos of the remorseless drives of capitalism.

My 10yo son and I have a morning routine where we read together (we alternate chapters, he reads to me, I read to him) We're currently reading this and dear god it's wonderful, certainly one of the best kids' books I've ever read. Imaginative, funny, very moving. Anyone else read it?

Liz Truss needs to learn how to use hyphens if she’s going to be a proper racist. Without it this is just a haunting poetic image comparing the government to a single Muslim trying to pacify the gathering forces of shame.

Helena Nelson might be the editor and publisher at HappenStance Press, but she's also an ace poet who was the joint winner of the Aldeburgh Jerwood Prize with her first collection, Starlight on Water. This poem is taken from that book. Its apparent emotional control makes it all the more powerful.
Completing the outfit

I used to wish you’d put your hands just so
about my waist, spanning me here and here,
encircling me in love and trust, although
you never knew I cherished the idea.
A small thing. Doesn’t matter. Time is gone.
Your hands, so square and kind, don’t speak to me.
My waist has come to terms with life alone.
My breathing’s calm. My heart goes quietly.
I find these days I like to wear a belt.
I bear it like your touch around the core.
It keeps me safe. Quite recently I felt
I had to tighten it. I think it’s more
than reassurance in well-seasoned leather:
it may be all that’s holding me together.

Helena Nelson

hot subway take, I think we should rename all the classical pieces whose names are just throwaway metadata. Symphony For Piano In Q-Minor Third Movement? No, now it's called Stompin' With Jimmy and we can all remember which one it is

I regret to inform you that Ian Leslie is at it again. He’s returned to the Jason Arday story not to apologise for his gleeful recycling of second-hand misinformation, but to double down and explain that universities - about which he knows laughably little - are all too woke.

I like a dumb action movie and I understand you have to go with it and suspend your disbelief but this evening we watched Rampage (2018) and sweet mother of Jesus that was taking the piss. Literally I don’t think anything plausible happened from beginning to end. Fun but LUDICROUS.

Patricia was quite right to give up drinking. She was clearly no good at it.
Entertainment Weekly headline: “Patricia Heaton detailed a concerning moment that made her quit drinking, after the EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND star said she realised she once nearly finished ‘an entire bottle’ of wine by herself “

Happy birthday to René Goscinny, 100 years old today, who wrote the first two decades of the Asterix books and thus brought endless, mischievous joy into the lives of me, my son, and millions of people around the world.

Jason Arday lied and the right-wing press hounded him to death. Horrifying. I’m in tears.

No one has 'concerns' about Todd Blanche's willingness to rein in Trump. They KNOW that he will not only not 'rein in Trump' but he will actively pursue Trump's vendettas.

This is very sad. Peter Gill was of the quietly decisive innovators of postwar British theatre: a superb director, a wonderful playwright, someone who just made things happen (Riverside Studios, NT Studio). Despite having every reason to be immodest, he was a sweet and modest man. RIP
