Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

There are so many amazing things you can say about Dolly Parton before you even get to her music. What a life. And I'll personally be most grateful that she secretly funded and produced Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Short 🧵 on this. Lots of people are diagnosed who don't want any treatment, just to understand what's going on with them. Others, like me, find the treatment invaluable. It's a spectrum. The media thinks we're all after benefits or something, but we just want to get on in life. (1/6)

Remember when grass was green? I miss that. Currently on a coach to York and seeing so much of the English countryside. Everything is yellow and desert-like

I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.

Good moment to say something nice about Binface I suppose. The thing is, he's really very funny. The whole thing would have worn out horribly if he wasn't. Just a genuine source of joy in an otherwise grey landscape.

It’s crazy how fast we normalise stuff. I remember going to Australia in 2018, watching wildfires on the news, and thinking “wow I’m so glad I live in the uk where that never happens”

Had a thought this morning that, in contrast to most of human history, we’re moving into an era where summers are scarier than winters. May be wrong, but feel like there’s something in it.

Still thinking about it. I was riveted by Brand New Day. A very smart and emotional film that felt pure 'Spidey'. Can't think of many franchises that nail four in a row. Maybe Toy Story...

Young adults (a category which includes 34 year olds with kids and mortgages) are just switching off completely. Look at the first graphic showing audience figures from five years ago. And the equivalent graphic from today, which shows the massive collapse.

Spoke with some students yesterday about TV soaps. Most had never heard or seen any of Corrie or EastEnders. One asked if they were sitcoms. Genres that were once culturally embedded just... not, anymore. Felt old.

Stumbled across this: The root of "female" has nothing to do with "male". It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man.

It's fun - and fair - and maybe a little comforting - to point and laugh at the weird things LLMs get wrong. But AI can already do a lot of seriously impressive things. It is definitely worth thinking about how we'd handle the disappearance of, say, a fifth of white-collar jobs over the next decade.

I’ve been studying Robin Hood recently, from the medieval ballads to the present, and he’s actually far more morally complex than you’d expect. “Robbing the rich to give to the poor” was an 18th century invention, for one thing
