I’ve said it before but if she’s the most obvious honey-trap in history I will never stop laughing. Or crying. Either one.

I love Richard E. Grant (I have met him twice and failed to say any actual words because I was crushing so hard) but he is dreadful at Traitors.

I’ve just watched Becca, Renee Good’s wife, speak about her loss and I am floored all over again that this happened. And reminded of that fucker on video saying ‘Fucking bitch’ after he murdered her.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

If this is what you are upset about in this conversation, you are lumped correctly, because you are currently mad at the victims for their resultant trauma, not their attackers.

Woman: I’m furious because rape culture is real. And I think other women are furious too. Man: I mean, yeah… BUT I want to make it clear that I’m not one of the bad ones so I will argue that your fury is why men are turning to Andrew Tate and voting for Trump. So actually the problem is you.

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.

A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

I’ve mentioned before that my other job means I am in temporarily in charge of a gaggle of teenage girls in a boarding house. And after my last shift, I have to say that I am more depressed at the impact AI is having than I have ever been. It feels likes it’s already broken so much.

I hate object to housing because we *need* housing but a local planning application wants to put more than 100 homes on a field that was underwater three years ago and the run-off had friends' houses waist-deep in flood water. They're just selling people houses that will be flooded.

Today’s win was this woodpecker (who I found looking a bit peaky at the bottom of one of our apple trees where he stayed for about fifteen minutes whilst I worried about him) whizzing up into the branches, yelling at me and cracking on with woodpecker stuff. He’s okay!

Quite emotional to report that we've just found our amazing survivor Marsh Tit, still here in his ancient woodland kingdom. He's now 11 yrs 4 months old, survived the 2026 heatwaves/drought and smelt the wildfires of nearby Holme Fen. I ringed him in my 30s and I'm now in my 50s.

Husband’s team was relegated so MOTD has been replaced with ITV’s English Football League highlights show and I have to say that it has a banging theme tune - like a nineties daytime talk show with extra saxophones and a finish that nobody really thought through. Excellent work.

Husband has exceeded himself with birthday giftage and provided the album that changed nine-year-old me forever. How fucking cool are they?

Five Star’s ‘Silk and Steel’ album from 1987 - possibly the greatest year ever.

This line about Trump stood out to me, as someone not in the US, who didn’t get to vote against him but still has to suffer him: “The ambition is always personal while the damage is global.”

If we’re doing the Diana thing again then can we keep in mind that right before her death the press were absolutely crucifying her for the sin of having a relationship with a man who wasn’t white? I dunno… seems relevant to some stuff today.

re: Piddlington. I actually also think it’s the wrong location for an asylum centre, it’s the middle of nowhere on a deadly road and no safe way to walk to Bicester, let alone get to oxford, an asylum centre should be right in town with access to resources like drs and dentists and help centres.
