If it’s any consolation, we’re at a wedding in One Devonshire Gardens and there are a couple of dodgy stomachs after some very fancy food. Welcome to Glasgow. Sorry. 🙈

So it's currently empty, but more and more I've been wanting to do review videos, so if anyone wants to follow my YouTube page in advance, here it is! I've no timeline for this, but I think it'd be fun to have more indie book vlogs out there. 🤞 www.youtube.com/@IndieBookSp...

I did suggest that to her. Would have been a belter of an after party! 😆

The book cover sits in the center of the image. It shows the title written in electric purple and bright pink outlined in white on a black background. Radiating out from the title are purple-ish digital outlines cascading outward making a tunnel effect. The background image is wavy electric blue lines with white spots of light, vaguely mimicking an organic circuit board.

I shall wave from across the Clyde. I should have been there but my pal rather selfishly arranged her wedding the same weekend!

“The only sensible solution at this point is a moratorium on datacentres until very basic questions about how many we need, what for, where, and how pollution will be avoided are answered satisfactorily by the government” - @olliehayes.bsky.social 👏

Drax datacentre could create nearly twice the yearly emissions of all Gatwick flights

A quick snippet of how these guys think. Sure, governments who actively strip funds from low income, disabled and marginalised communities are going to willingly embrace a universal “high” income. These people need to be stopped. Seriously, watch this whole interview - it’s terrifying. #fuckAI

Just watched this, it’s hands down the most frightening Jon Stewart episode I’ve ever seen. These people are just gambling with the future of humanity. Absolutely must watch. #AI

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Sigh. The Guardian at it again, and so it's time to remember that the Guardian has a financial arrangement with one of the big AI companies (can never remember if it's Anthropic or OpenAI). They have a financial incentive to publish this nonsense.

A headline for an article in The Guardian. It reads Technology. The AI industry is booming. Women are getting left behind.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives Block Byline Times From Conference After Condemning Reform for Journalist Ban

The ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

Okay, this a longshot, but: Does anyone recall an artist from Dragon Con's Art Exhibition in the Hyatt who had really beautiful embroidered patches? The art was very MTG/goth girl, eerie and beautiful Fantasy-type stuff. Like, a luna moth or a rabbit with a moon would fit in.

This is how the BBC is reporting Danny Tommo attacking a RNLI boat with a knife. He’s mentioned in passing on paragraph 15. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Migrants taken to Dover after more than 30 hours at sea

Protesters gathered in Gosport after initial reports the small boat would be brought further west.

I’m very proud that my late father-in-laws name on one of the RNLI’s boats. Their volunteers are selfless, kind, caring and brave. Not a single bad bone in their bodies. Why anyone would want hate them I cannot understand. Facebook has a lot to answer for. 🙁
