Donald Trump has never shown an appreciation of the arts. During his first term, Trump never attended the Kennedy Center Honors. Now, even though it takes an act of Congress to change the name, he has put his name ahead of President Kennedy, who was a champion of the arts. It is funny, isn’t it?

Which party won the most Council by-elections in 2025?
You may surprised to hear it wasn't the party led by a racist schoolboy bully.... (if it was we'd be drowning in media headlines proclaiming it 😉)
It was in fact the @libdems.org.uk

Well this is wonderful!
Just had a festive visit to my favourite church…St. Margaret of Antioch, Knotting, Bedfordshire. It has a host of wonderful architectural features, including a possible Saxon arch. Above all though, it’s just a completely beautiful and peaceful place 😍

And this is exactly the reason why there should be a professional ethics framework agreed with urgency for #gen-AI, in particular photo-realistic stuff : archaeologists and heritage orgs who use it for general outreach & #SciComm are contributing to this problem.
I’m increasingly uneasy about the flood of AI images on social media. They are mostly absurd and frustrating. They may sometimes be creative experiments, but the fact that so many users take them at face value says a lot about our collective loss of visual literacy.

Only ever translated a couple of short stories, but having once volunteered to edit a friend's memoir I can say that it's twice the chore to tidy up a piece of prose than to generate it. Like building a wall where every brick requires another trip to the builders' yard
Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere
