Where is the logic in someone saying, "I'm doing a cool thing... I know, I'll get AI to make a poster for it."

I am a writer of the words & sentences (some funny). I’ve done most things: written gags, speeches, scripts, TV ads - if you require such an individual, then I am that person. Website (here) www.mathew-owen.co.uk any RTs (or whatever they’re called on here) gratefully received. Cheers👍👍

Instagram always throws patterns of things at me, as I'm sure it does for everyone. At the moment, there is a dire and immediate paranoia, about the state of the world, in the stuff it is showing me. Could do without that shit.

Found a two and a half hour abridged audio versions of Smiley's People, brilliantly read by the Author. Just fiinshed it. Thought it was a marvellous way to revisit the story after many years.

I mean, if you really feel the need to make noise to be heard, couldn't you make a better noise?

So I record the Gauff Rybakina on Sky Sports (I get it for tennis then cancel it) and the recording ends before the match is over. Then they show an interview in the middle with the winner and loser of the other semi, which I hadn't yet watched. What do we have to do, sit up all fucking night?

Twenty five years today, I had me first ever table read of a play of mine. Never opened a script. We sat and the table and talked for a while and then we went home.

Yes, i was going to come to your thing but then you did an AI poster and I figure if you can't be arsed then I can't be arsed either.

Mellor's rudientary understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem, combined with the rising tide, suggested that his mast would no longer fit under the bridge but how to break this to Miss Emily? #GirlsOwnCC

Rewatched 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' and would now reassess it as a very good, if difficult film. Is there a better one that shows us how our teen kids can be scary but, despite this, will probably turn out all right?

Shredded Wheat is just the right side of cardboard to feel a bit healthy. Plus, rather weirdly, Ian Botham's historic promotion of it seems to be a factor in my choosing it.
