Probably a general lack of empathy, meaning they don’t consider how AI impacts other people’s livelihoods, or impacts the planet. It’s not negatively affecting them (yet) so they put any reluctance down to being “too woke”. Also GB News use AI a lot apparently. Figures.

Yes, in UK

I do not want an Al summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an Al summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.

This.

Can we get some regime change in the US asap? Preferably before he destroys the beautiful planet Artemis II has just taken such incredible photos of.

Listened to the R+J soundtrack on repeat in the late ‘90s. Gonna have to dig that CD out this weekend! Great album.

This is the best news to wake up to. Thankful Liam and his dad have been released. Shame on all those involved in his detention.

Yay!!

I was in that queue for over 30 hrs and then got kicked out at 3:30am when I was sleeping (for missing the half hour shopping window). Laughed so I wouldn’t cry 😂

Did eventually get in a day later and bought the presents I was after 😅

Yay! Congrats on the conference, Louie. Making progress on edits for a middle grade WIP has made me smile, as things slot into place.

Reading is a Work Out for your Brain - M G Leonard YouTube video by Maya G. Leonard

Dear teachers, it is the #NationalYearofReading2026. I've had requests to make a video to encourage reading for classrooms. Here it is. Please share and feel free to use it however you choose: youtu.be/xrAeYD1ZQ1A

Think we need to bring back “Tidings of comfort and joy” as a saying / greeting, because all I want right now is to hear some news that brings comfort and joy, instead of horror and misery.

That is a magnificent beauty! 🤩

I get this when I’m playing a phone game whilst watching TV. The next time I open up the game, maybe days later, I instantly think about the TV show I was watching last time I played it.

The truth of that first sentence has blown my mind! I was raised Pentecostal, and it took me a long time as an adult to realise how toxic my upbringing and church culture were, and how hateful and intolerant these people preaching love every Sunday were. Thankful I got out.
