If you use generative AI, you are not a writer or artist.

Pass it on.

Me trying to be normal:

Nope, you’re not alone. Mind you, these days our TV has become a monitor for the PlayStation. Until Severance returns.

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

Thank you! 🫂 I think people haven’t quite made the connection yet between cute singing kitten gif and someone losing their livelihood. All we can do is keep making people aware. 🥺

Generative AI is killing my industry, and a job that I love and every day I get someone sending me something they generated for shits and giggles and expect me like it. Utterly soul destroying. 🥺

If you use AI in your writing, I will not read it. Full stop. Whine if you want to, fine. But if you've not taken the time yet, do your research, and if you think the environment and people who AI is hurting are okay stepping stones for your shortcut, I will be reading you work even less.

White exhibition wall with a large 3m wide panel showing a black and white war time arial shot of Berlin with Topographie Des Terrors written in the top left corner.

On our last day in Berlin we saw the haunting Topographie des Terrors. Of all the cool things we saw and my ever growing love for Germany - that one place had the biggest impact of this trip. Because the parallels between what Hitler did then and what Trump is doing now is quite frankly terrifying.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion

Last day in Berlin. 🥺 Gutted. I want to live here. Loved Germany already but this trip has solidified my love for the place. Any Graphic design jobs going in Berlin?!!

That is fucking spectacular news! 🏆✊🎉

The world will pay for Trump's Iran mess The US President keeps claiming he won the war. Except he hasn’t — and everybody knows it

Post an image of a game you played as a teenager...

Sega Mega Drive - Shadow of the Beast.

When he says “this country” he means England. Scotland wanted no part of his checklist of chaos. Steeting only confirms here that Scotland is Westminsters prisoner. It is not, and never has been, an equal union. #scottishindependence

Morning Womble. Today I will be mostly knee deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 3. Started book 1 last week to see what the fuss was about and 2 books later I’m fighting the urge to shout “New achievement!!” at my son everytime he does something.

None of the posts under the "Scottish Independence" trend are actually about Scottish Independence

Scottish round snowball cakes piled like a pyramid on a pink plate on a white wood table. White sponge balls covered in white icing rolled in white coconut with a layer of jam in the middle.

Three chocolate monstrosity alternative snowball cakes, round mounds of thin chocolate covered in a stingey light sprinkling of coconut covering an abomination of sweet mallow and gooey meringue mix. Combined together it makes the most disgusting texture of goo. Boke.

And while we’re on the subject…. The picture on the left is a snowball. I don’t know what the fuck that thing in the right is. 🤢

Couldn’t agree more. I’m Scottish to my core but I detest these things. Chocolate I like but that gooey stuff. Boke. It makes my throat itch. 🤢

I should do a giveaway here too!

I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

They are terrified. And I have absolutely no problem at all if the Grand National was banished forever.
