I don't want bespoke music, art, or film just for me. Even if AI stuff was good and ethical (monumentally large if) I don't want to be the only person experiencing it. 10% of my joy is in the consuming, 90% is in chatting about it. Even if a book is bad I LOVE speaking to a friend whose also...

No way? The dude who used to work for Google, ensuring they paid no tax in the UK, is a dickhead with bad taste? Consider me shocked.

Super cool. Here’s a class traitor dispatch: when you start to make more money you start to pay more taxes. The size of the checks you send to the govt have big numbers on them. It’s unsettling. You need a strategy & that strategy is SUCK IT UP MOTHERFUCKER.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."

Someone on my street was screaming, like, proper aggro screaming. Couldn't resist being nosey and poked my head to the window to see a middle aged man aggressively shout into a car, "I never wanna fucking see you in my house again. You're a naughty boy." The naughty boy is sending me. Kid? Dog?

Irrational, it's 100% my problem, low-key annoyance: I keep seeing references to "book birthdays" and people mean launch/release. A book birthday should surely be an anniversary of when a book was released. At a push, I'd consider allowing book birth day.

Hahah, ah, fuck sake. In a Cornwall 'community together' newsletter they've posted out, theyve got a spot the difference thing... Problem is theyve used AI, so theres the intentional differences and then loads of other ones, where its not generated the exact same image. Its laugh or cry stuff.

Guys, DCC is fun. Its silly, easy reading that gives us laughs and lovely little regular dopamine hits. Why am I seeing people claim that it's rebellious and punk and anti-capitalistic? There's a toy range and a Seth Macfarlane TV show coming.

That Let's Save Water ad on TV genuinely pisses me off. Acknowledges that there might be a daily deficit of billions of litres of water in our lifetime, and the suggestions are short showers and use watering cans? Fuck all the way off. I'm not expecting, "consider eco terrorism" but come on.

In our Kickstarted anthology, edited by Roz Clarke & Jo Hall, Welsh communities fight back against oppression with a little help from their supernatural friends. On pre-order: wizardstowerpress.co...

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Its nice to have a legit reason to hate Ed Sheeran, I'd been doing it just because his music is dogshit - and that's probably a bit trivial, to be fair.

@phlaimeaux.bsky.social FYI, on the latest WDYDY episode, I got an advert for Litman's Bespoke Steathascopes. They said my patients trust me, and I need to trust in the best equipment... Does the pod have a huge doctor following, or have my targeted ads gone mad? Ive ordered 8, just in case.
