While no deaths should be celebrated there are some that need to be marked, not in glowing tribute but in honest evaluation of the wretchedness of their effect upon others. Author and former politician Jeffrey Archer dies aged 86 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good to know he’s also the stupidest. The cruelist. The rudest. The least well read. The most criminally convicted. The most rapey. I mean if you’re going to be the worst…be the worst at EVERYTHING.

On a great day I’d do 3k. Most days it was between 1k and 2k. Some days it was a negative number when i realised what I’d written the day before was CRAP! 😂

As part of a challenge with my daughter & others I wrote a short story over the weekend based on the prompt “someone finds a fossil”. The idea is to not think about it but just start writing and see where it goes. To my surprise it ended up as a science-fiction story. May release it on my website.

On BBC One this morning Steve Backshall talking about Shark Week said “people are far more dangerous to sharks than sharks are to people”. Well that may be true as a SPECIES but it’s certainly not true as individuals! 🙄

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

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."

This is THE best show on television. And it’s not even close. Just finished season 2 which was just as good as 1. (If you’ve ever thought that the insurance-backed for-profit health care system in America is barbaric and disgraceful then you are absolutely correct.) www.imdb.com/title/tt3193...

I've decided to leave this platform and my
Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don't want to support it.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Americans, are you absolutely certain you have anything to celebrate freedom-wise? Your wannabe tango tyrant is stripping your democracy from you piece by piece. He’s a grifter, a con-man, a lying sack of shit in a suit and he DESPISES ordinary people. Get rid of him!

Fantastic! I started with sci-fi too and thought I'd go on to write a whole series set in the same fictional universe, but I suddenly had the urge to write about bank robbing pensioners as the idea was just too good to leave it alone. Still not returned to the sci-fi but there's time yet...
