My wife, before we started dating, put her hand over my mouth, kissed the back of her hand and said "I wonder what it would feel like if we really kissed?" I still didn't get that she liked me.

Archer is most famous here for suing for defamation over an article about him paying for sex and then later going to jail for perjuring himself during the trial. Here's a statement from the London Collective of Prostitutes.

I do just want to point out that Jesus canonically looked so unremarkable Judas’ primary job was to point him out to the Romans bc nobody could like, describe him

But surely they must pause while singing along to the "it ain't me" bit and think "maybe we're NOT fortunate sons"?

If everybody can make a game or write a novel or direct a movie or write a song then the very creative act of making those things is no longer special. AI does not democratise art, it diminishes it.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He  
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

My eldest went to nursery photo day dressed as an astronaut and the photographer made her take off her helmet. The one before that they captured her using her makaton to say she was hungry.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

If Ellison was the clever business boy and movie mogul he says he is, he had the option of building his own Skydance brand into it's own iconic studio without taking the shortcut of just buying 2 studios for their IP. With his daddy's money (and the Saudi's)

As someone who likes film but not comic books, there was a time leading up to Endgame where all of film YouTube simply WAS MCU coverage. I've watched many MCU films and liked a lot of them. But popular and artistically interesting or deep are very different metrics.

Britain is a country that has always always always made fun of both politicians and the royal family. My earliest memories of politics as a child was Spitting Image. America, ostensibly a country built to not have a King, treats it's President like a King. They have one important guy.

It's actually the revenge of that MS Office paperclip thing that used to popup and say 'I see you are writing a letter, I can help you'. The paperclip got mad we laughed at it and dismissed it, so it mutated and is now going to come back and kill us all.
