Great bluebell woods around there

Imagine if Holly Herndon, James Bridle, Lawrence Lek, Danielle Brathwaite Shirley or others were asked to make a documentary on culture and AI? It's just so tiresome the same old white guy gets to be the only artist allowed on TV. I wish that art & architecture were properly explored on British TV.

I know Folkestone quite well, so was glad to have some free time to visit some of the town's Triennale artworks I like, eat some chips, and have too many cocktails at The Potting Shed speakeasy-style bar.

Yesterday I went to Folkestone to see The Grand, an enormous residence block with interesting history that's formed a Community Interest Company to open public areas & disused basements as a place for cultural making & performance, supported by Haworth Tompkins with first stage ideas.

Once again I tell TV commissioners that other artists are available, have better insight, and are better to give visibility to.

I wasn't in London :)

Well, it was prompted by an insufferable manc in a cafe I was in this morning. I couldn't make out anything he said (except "I've been banned from YouTube so I'm on TikTok now") other than the phrase "d'you know what I mean". I had no idea what he meant.

When oasis said "d'you know what I mean?", did we ever get anywhere close to knowing what they meant?

Always nice to see Richard Deacon's benches in Folkestone

I often see him in the street, and feel I should cross the road.

I'm picturing the violent battle on a hilltop in which you and the Devon Tourist Board decided to limp away, wartorn and wounded, just before one of you killed the other.

Please FT! A Staycation is staying at home, not a holiday where you leave home but stay in the country. I am not a fan of this shift in meaning.

A list of Starmer's 10 pledges, made during his Labour leadership campaign. Every pledge has 'broken pledge' written across it.

Forgive us if we don't trust Keir Starmer.

Do you?

Starmer is very sorry for offence felt, and he understands people's anger, and a new policy will be written to ensure it won't happen again

I'm getting de ja vu with Ashton here

I don't think they're entitled to it something like twenty minutes after the journey starts if they did not claim it

It's only tax day in one country. Greenpeace is international, no?

In one months time I open a new 800m² complex of four galleries which will present a year of exhibitions on London's South Bank, near Tate Modern. Keep evening of 14 May in your diaries...

It seems strange. I've used it quite a few times at various airports. Sometimes it's been a huge queue, usually it's been super swift and quicker than old systems. I suspect the issue is local mismanagement and inability to adopt to new systems with staffing and Comms, more than the tech itself.

God, I thought that was a container architecture at first

The other 88 minutes were also pretty mad from the perspective of a team that could have been pushing for the title.

Funny. I spoke recently to two senior people at big, known developers who are convincing their funders that green areas are actually solid for new building, using Bristol as example, compared to labour areas that are getting rejections, persuading funders not too presume stereotypes.

Oh, god. Which ward is this please? DM if you don't want to shout that publicly!

Also makes me think that Gervais wasn't acting or writing out of character. Some people think actors are great, but then they play "somebody else" and are rubbish. Exhibit B is Joanna Lumley who is an awful, arrogant, nasty human being, but excellent as Patsy Stone, exactly because it wasn't acting.
