Caroline Knapp-Shappy has been rude to her final passenger, annoyed her last pilot, and Arthur will be bereft. 😢 RIP. #CabinPressure @johnfinnemore.bsky.social

Only use AI for analysis, spotting patterns, solving boring problems, curing cancer etc. Stop using it to put creative people out of work! I don’t want a future where music, art, literature, movies, human expression is created by a machine blending other people’s creativity into meaningless slop!

You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed. You are not liberating human creativity.
You are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft
"training data."

Starting tomorrow and running for 2 weeks (up to my birthday) you can get the Kindle version of my novel Gran Raid for 99p! Grab yourself a bargain and enjoy an exciting caper about bank robbing pensioners turning the tables on a corrupt banker and some dodgy gangsters. amzn.to/3G3ki6h #bargain

Well this just looks like good sense to me…shame so many countries, our own included, would really struggle to get a majority of the population on board with it. (Largely thanks to a toxic popular press that love a good us/them divide).

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m so grateful to the immensely wise, strong, capable, compassionate women in my life. Especially my wife, daughter, mum and sisters. Let’s hope the current pushback against women’s rights around the world is merely a blip and genuine equality is achieved.

We’re away with our best friends for a few days at Trearddur Bay on Anglesey. The sea was very very cold. (Who knew?) so a short dip was all I managed. Hopefully a swim will happen.

At a very dear friend’s 60th birthday and he has a Kylie sing-a-like. If you love Kylie’s music then I’m sure she’s brilliant. I love Kylie - just not a massive fan of the music.

😂😂😂😂 1.3!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film below 3.5 on IMDb. I still think 1.3 is generous and more than it deserves, from everything I’ve heard about it. And no, I’m not going to watch it to make up my own mind for the same reason I’m not putting a red-hot poker up my ass to see if it hurts.

Hello new followers! I always follow back people who interact with me (but will often follow accounts that look interesting). I’m an author and IT technician. The books are my passion. Search for “Gran Raid” if you like the idea of pensioners robbing banks, for “Coronnol” for sci-fi adventure!

DISASTER!! My very favourite mug is smashed beyond repair. Snapped in half and a then some! 😢 Perfect size, perfect fit for my hand, kept the tea hot for ages. Can’t find them for sale anywhere.

So what’s your favourite annoying Americanism? Here’s mine. #FELON47 #IMPEACH #CONVICT #IMPRISON #REBUILD #EDUCATE

What’s your favourite annoying Americanism?

Mine’s the phrase “we’re pregnant”. No, you’re not. Not unless you’re two pregnant lesbians. One of you is pregnant. The other is a spectator.

Oh no, hang on, it’s not that. It enough monumentally stupid people voting in a corrupt, narcissistic bully with no impulse control, zero morals and a flagrant disregard for the rule of law. Twice. That’s the one.

Phil Tyler @philtyleruk.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Yep. That seems about right.

Phil Tyler @philtyleruk.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Sadly this is mostly true about the government over there. The democrats HAVE to focus, resist, consistently point out the shit MAGA are doing, and sweep the board in the midterms to ensure Felon 47 is the lamest of lame duck presidents. Then once back in abolish ICE and repair the USA. #easy

Wow! Well, what an ending! I can’t believe they’re going to unravel that fabulous finale & make season 4. I hope they’ve got a superb story lined up ‘cos it’s going to be very difficult to follow that. One of the best shows I’ve ever watched. www.imdb.com/title/tt2374... #TedLasso #Perfection

Don’t let looks deceive you! He’s a demon in dog form. After a morning of excellent behaviour and a nice nap he’s decided that this afternoon he will pee, then poop, and then wee again in the living room. I am getting NO writing done. Previous writing available here… philipalantyler.co.uk

Well that’s Christmas back in the attic for another year. Hope you all had a peaceful and enjoyable time whatever you were doing. And let’s hope 2026 picks up a bit, it’s not been a stellar start (looking at you Tango Tyrant). Obligatory plug for novels and free stories… philipalantyler.co.uk

Mags and I are in Manchester to watch the marvellous Mitch Benn perform his one man version of “A Christmas Carol” using the same abridged text that Dickens himself used when he performed it. Mitch is seriously talented and well worth following. #Excited #Christmas @mitchbenn.bsky.social

I’ll try not to spam you all with too many dog photos but, you know, this dog was THE best. I have no theological basis for dog having an eternal soul but if they don’t there’s something fundamentally wrong with a heaven where you don’t get your beloved companions back.
