This is my wife's new documentary film, about the fight to discover the truth behind the marine life die-offs in Teesside - would appreciate a repost so that we can make sure the film gets seen.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

Hello, I’ve an event for my Muriel Spark biography next Weds (15th) at Waterstones Liverpool. We’ve sold barely any tickets, however, and it might be cancelled as a result. Please get a ticket if you’re nearby - it’ll be a lot of fun, and I’ll bring badges! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/waterstone...

You can see why he's been in hiding for months. If this is the best he can do after months of preparation for these questions, he's in desperate trouble on the subject and he knows it.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Without our trade unions & the workers willing to back them with strike action when needed we wouldn’t have a minimum wage, maternity & paternity rights, pension provision, holiday & sickness entitlements - victories which have benefited every single person in this country. Stick that in your pipe✊

I love train travel. If the train companies loved it as much as I do they would run them better. Or it might be capitalism and the privatisation system that is rigged for the profits of failure.

Reminder. The "Reform Party" is actually a private company with Nigel Farage as the majority shareholder. It's a bit dishonest to consider it a normal political party and I think it's problematic to let a private company stand candidates for public office
