Oh no - am I going to have to read Sally Rooney now on a point of principle?

First major AI company collapses. Valued at a billion dollars this time last year, just sold some assets to Disney for $20m.

Just cancelled my Green Party membership after goodness knows how many years...

No mention for the 2001 season of BBC News 24 I see - I mean it started slowly for the first few months but it went really hard in the last quarter...

Plucking Spurs making it out of the relegation places - good for them!

No notes

A history of Resonance FM with Stewart Lee, tomorrow at 8pm BBC Radio 4! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I've seen Obsession and for some Backrooms (for some reason, twice) in the same week - the kids, you know, they're alright.

RIP Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)

Great week for Tarantino to grump about the state of the film industry - with the top two box office chart positions being taken by Gen-Z kids working with tiny budgets... Sucks to be the fresh young thing no more, I guess.

Happy #Threads day to all who celebrate

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

About a year ago I put a fiver on Al Carns being PM, and will make £400 if he does... I fear this is influencing my political judgement on matters of National Importance.

Uh-hum - Brighton... beating their reserve team quite nicely tonight.

Technical drawing

Phew - well that's alright then... back as you all were.

This is Pulitzer shit right here.

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

I just had a go at asking Claude to check and adjust the bibliography on a literature review (that's about the evils of letting AI near kids, yeah I know) - and spent an hour unpicking its nonsense... lucky no one's suggesting we run whole countries on this nonsense...

To anyone playing Wordle - today's is a doozy

Between you and me I quite like falling asleep in films - nap time feels like it counts double in the cinema plus you get your own personalised "sleep canon" of the story. Thanks, Secret Agent for yesterday's snooze!

"Oh, I wonder what happened to this composer whose work I used to like - checks online - oh, new work - an album - what's this? Controversy? Transphobia? Supports who?" FFS. Wankers.

Saw No Other Choice. It featured great edits and was good. This made me happy. Briefly.

Bovino needs to be careful about what comes out of the aircon in that lovely new office they're going to give him...

If they gave Pulitzers for video news clips...

I'm updating Scrivener this morning. I must mean business...

From November 2020, when murder hornets were killing the bees in the US

Good to know Kid A was released in before the rage virus - we at least had that I suppose...

Two incredible lead performances in The Bone Temple - its also funny, touching, looks fantastic, is utterly horrific and very British. Might go sneak out and see it again...

I just finished a re-watch of Chernobyl last - still incredible and important work - I wonder what Craig Mazin's next writing project is?

Can we go back to the January 1st save point please? This is all a bit rubbish.

MARTY SUPREME was annoying... packed out cinema which was lovely to see but couldn't there have been a SINGLE character in its 150 minutes who wasn't a piece of shit?

Thanks to Ed Baxter... it was this moment that I appreciated more than any other this time round.

Why would they do this? I mean money, yes but it's going to so devalue the worth of their properties. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I love it when my kids make jokes to me on messages that show we have EXACTLY the same sense of humour (whether through cultural or genetic links I don't know).

We are devastated to confirm that bio-bead pollution has reached Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. We're working to assess the damage to the precious saltmarsh habitat and plan the clean-up.  Full statement here: https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/news/bio-bead-pollution-at-rye-harbour-nature-reserve

The world may be turning to shit... but there's always Joyce Carol Oates

Popped up on World at One today talking about audiobooks - did pretty well considering I was thinking about audiobooks in any ways until an hour before I was on!

I've just seen the new Sleaford Mods video and realised that I used to chat with Gwendoline Christie when she worked at Pussy (an interior design shop) and went to the same Brighton clubs as me 20 years ago... somehow I didn't make the connection.

Well fucking do something about it then

This is a pretty good bit
