Low key one of my favourite moments of #BramStokersDracula is when Winona Ryder mangles using using a fork in her left hand. It is the entire reason I’m watching this movie tonight

Annoyed that Google’s live events setting suddenly served me the England v Spain scores. If you’re going to give me sports updates, I also expect things like women’s tennis scores and court verdicts of rape cases…

Not saying I’m a klutz, but my first thought about the new folding iPhone was “how will I ever be able to find a phone case that’s Tonka tough enough for *that*?”

Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Is it just me or has advertising leaned hard into using northern accents for “super bargain fly holiday”/“are you too stupid to know tax”/“clean your bathroom and sigh happily for now you are nearly proper” type ads? I can’t unsee it…

Congratulations to Prof Nick Blagden and co-authors on this publication - a sensitive and methodologically rigorous piece of research making a genuinely important contribution to understanding intrafamilial offending. Well worth a read for anyone working in forensic/clinical contexts. bit.ly/4xUQeTW

UK regulator asks X about reports its Grok AI makes "sexualised images of children" and undresses women. Sickening. X profits but not good at monitoring. Give everyone an enforceable copyright of their face, voice, body parts. Enable people to sue social platforms for violation of that right.

It’s amazing what a letter from reformuk will motivate you to do (other than rush straight to the bin). I just signed @reformpoliticalads.bsky.social’s petition calling for laws to introduce factual accuracy in political advertising. And then I rushed straight to the bin.
