Scared for a moment that the product recall was for the very electric throw I was wrapped in while reading it. But no. It’s my first product recall for a phone I bought three years ago. Odd.

Watching the AI bubble burst ought to be funny. But it'll probably tank the global economy and wipe out my pension, which takes the shine off it somewhat.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

In one episode of the second series of Stuff, the first five minutes consisted of what appeared to be an episode of Juliet Bravo, and really the only initial clue is that Juliet Bravo was never on BBC2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHmX...

Anyway. That London. Museums, galleries, bookshops, the theatre, some great pubs and last night I even managed to have a drink with the Crossword Editor of the Times. It doesn't get much better than that, let me tell you.

The more I look at 16-year-old me's bedroom the more I can believe I was raised by parents who met when they were chairman and secretary of the Ilford Young Conservatives. Even the Pet Shop Boys poster is neatly pinned to the colour-coordinated noticeboard (next to Carol Decker, obvs.)

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder
Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

That doesn't mean I didn't spend a whole lot of moolah. London prices are mad. Though after the first day I didn't pay more than £8 for a pint; thanks to the CAMRA app for directing me to the Golden Eagle in Marylebone, the Ship & Shovell in Charing Cross and the Old King's Head in Borough...

Back from That London with a surprisingly small amount of swag. Oh, and a library card from the Museum of Freemasonry, which I shall nestle alongside last year's one from the National Library of Wales in the hopes that I get to use either one again...

🧵Thread. I collect photos that people took of their TV screens (in the days before video) because they wanted to capture a historical moment, or at least something that meant something to them.

So. Time to wander out and try one of the local restaurants that I noted last night on the midnight walk back to the hotel as still having happy-looking punters.
