Outside my flat there is an empty bottle of Echo Falls and a discarded bra, so someone in the neighbourhood had either a really good night or a really bad one.

GIG UPDATE: Self Esteem. Everyone, regardless of gender, leaves a Self Esteem gig feeling like an empowered woman. A complicated, but incredible, show.

Looking forward to Keir Starmer describing him as a “divisive figure”.

There is a guy standing in front of me on the tube platform wearing a suit and it is clearly a) new and b) not the sort of thing he normally wears as c) he hasn’t removed the stitching on the jacket’s back vents. Bless.

If you not only need to consult ChatGPT but also need to have a protracted back and forth with it to come up with the message "It was lovely to meet you" then you deserve to die alone.

Article extract: As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success". When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked Al what his next move should be. ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich. "Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Why yes, I do know too much about Life is a Flower by Ace of Base. And?

There’s also an American version called Whenever You’re Near Me, which is not as good, despite the fact the only difference is they rewrote the lyrics, presumably because the metaphor was too tricky for the Us market. #totp
