Thanks for putting both sides of the story. When we moved when I turned 60 it was to a bigger house so our 4 children, their partners and grandchildren could all come and stay at the same time, regularly. It keeps the family united even though they live far apart.

I have some of my mother's Revere Ware saucepans, which she received as a wedding gift from a friend in the US in 1956 but I do actually use mine. (I have sister issues too 😄).

Fantastic Michael Crick episode of Panorama on Jeffrey Archer from 25 years ago. Really underscores just what a disservice it was to readers to use the lazy "led a colourful life" platitudes in many of the obituaries. youtu.be/z8E-aBGJ3tQ?...

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

This is the thing that always gets me from so many modern politicians: they seem *desperate* to argue the only real work is working on an oil rig, farming or fishing. They crap all over the arts and universities, which are MASSIVE employers and industries in which the UK has long excelled.

They’re making the same mistake journalists have. It’s not partisan to speak out and defend your institutions against threats, even if those threats are partisan in nature. If you’re in university leadership, doing so should be considered part of your job, not something to avoid.

Also, and huge comms failure, this could well be presented as good for pensioners. Am of an age where I have to plan out when I can retire and how far my pension will last. The spectre of "you might need an insane amount of cash late in life to pay for care" is one I'd gladly see the back of.

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

I sometimes wonder what planet I was on in 1975, the year I turned 18. The EU referendum took place exactly a week before my birthday but I have absolutely no recollection of it all even though most of my friends would have been voting for the first time. Obviously concentrating on my A levels 🤣.

So frustrating. My poor late Dad was never allowed to use his own surname on Facebook as they didn't believe it was a real name and he didn't have a passport or driving licence (being over 90). They did accept a ficticious name though, so he had to use that. (He LOVED Facebook 😄).
