Somehow, I managed to get through the entirety of my schooldays without leaving 20 or more people with the impression that I might be a racist antisemite.

All those companies ditching humans in favour of AI 'efficiencies' don't seem to have worked out that if everyone loses their job to AI, no one's going to have any money to spend on the things the AI wants to sell us.

Testing Twitter's 'where is this account really located?' function via a bunch of screenshots of old tussles in 2020/21 with alleged Brexiters and, at random, find one UK patriot is actually in Israel and another in Bangladesh. Brexit belief knows no boundaries!

When we joined the counter protest against the racist pricks screaming outside a Falkirk hotel housing asylum seekers, the police did nothing about the volleys of eggs thrown by the racists.
So there's a nice legal precedent if you happen to be in Falkirk on December 6 with a pocketful of eggs...

I'd love to revisit some of those Twitter conversations with Brexit fans who insisted 'nothing will change', 'you're scaremongering' and 'if you can't handle a bit of extra paperwork, your business deserves to fail!'

My very first gig-going experience was at the QMU: Throwing Muses and the Sundays, February 17, 1989. I think Pixies/Wolfgang Press at the same venue was the next one (on April 28, according to concertarchives.org.
I'm going time-travelling tonight, attending a gig at the QMU.

As a spotty 18-year-old, working my first job in the Uni library, I practically lived in there.

Wonder if they still sell 'Redwitch' - a pint of snakebite with a double Pernod and blackcurrant in it?

I'm in the process of having a new cover designed for one of my books.
You know how I'm getting it done? By paying a talented person who has ideas and experience. You know what I'm not doing? Punching a bunch of suggestions into an app so I can get a cheap cover that looks like everyone else's.
While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.

Early on the morning of Monday, March 16th, 2025, I paid my entire staff through the end of the month and rang round to tell them not to come to work. I had no idea what would happen next, but I knew that was the best thing to do at that moment. It was not a difficult decision.
