I would like to do a shout out for the Food Science course at Nottingham, which is in the process of closing. Every single student on this course is guaranteed a good job and food science is essential to the health and wealth of our country.

Some unintended consequences I suspect the rise of AI agents will create: 1. Restaurants that only take reservations by hand written letter, or more likely, don't take them at all. 2. Gigs where you can only buy tickets in person. 3. Businesses that operate without websites.

⚠️ Severe Alert. 🔴 Andy Burnham must take immediate action on the #ClimateCrisis.
Alt text: Graphic from Bradford District Green Party showing a smartphone-style “Severe Alert” message against a background of wildfires. The message says there is an extremely high risk of harm to people and nature due to climate breakdown and calls on Andy Burnham to take immediate action: keep people safe, tackle wildfires, prevent droughts, protect the food system, nationalise water, and reject new oil and gas. It ends by inviting people to join the Green Party.

When reality lands our societies will face a choice - to save everyone we can by doing the necessary work that will end the reign of ideas like "economic growth" and "national self-interest" and discover by doing what lies beyond them or to carry on as we are and loose so much more.

5 Years ago I had a brand new art studio. Loads of time and no one to paint. So, I listened and painted the people I heard. One of the voices I heard was Burnham’s. I still think he has some genuinely good ideas but I’m skeptical he can put them into practice
