Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

My lovely 7 year old son is running a mile for the NSPCC (to help kids having a sad time) this Sunday. I’ve, er, left it rather late to fundraise & obvs as a result need to drum up support. Obvs don’t want to put him on public social media so if you fancy donating DM me & I’ll send you the link!

My novel BOURNVILLE is available digitally on Amazon or (for the Bezos-phobic) Kobo for £0.99 this month. An attempt to look in a serio-comic way at issues of English national identity, WW2 mythologising, Royal family worship and other things that have brought us to the state we're currently in.

Only 99p on Kindle today: my eleventh novel, the imaginatively-named Number 11. (Which, in order to achieve better sales, I should really have called What a Carve Up 2: the Return of the Winshaws.) This is the one Ken Loach read and said he wouldn't film because 'I don't really do giant spiders'.

There is far too much pressure to live your best life these days. Leave me alone and let me live my most middling life in peace, with the colourful miscellany of highs and lows that naturally entails.

My fondness for this picture of a man not really understanding the benefits of his baseball cap never diminishes.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
