Good morning.

If you're looking for a fun waste of a few minutes, the r/CasualUK topic on Reddit is currently trying to explain the rules to Mornington Crescent, and there two types of people involved.

1. Those who get it.

As a huge fan of The Princess Bride I was aware that a lot of effort was put into the sword fight. But this takes it up a few notches! Thank you @dtmooreeditor.bsky.social (and of course to #RobReiner for making it all a reality). ❤️

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

- Just wanted to let you know that a group of insurgents with untidily-tied ribbons in their hair have seized control of the French government today.
- Messy bow coup?
- You're very welcome.

Fourth trip to Operation Mincemeat @mincemeatlive.bsky.social and what an incredible show it was. Loved the (not very) new cast and the energy they gave, loved the few sillinesses we had with ties and bags falling, and FINALLY got a decent jump shot. 💛

Swiss mountains around Lake Lucerne - they look so dramatic.

Kaffee und Kuchen. Well sort of. Tee und Kuchen doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. #KaffeeUndKuchen
Fig and plum cake, very beautiful (and delicious!), in the foreground. A cup of tea brewing in the back of the photo.

Don't worry, everything will be okay, or it won't.

Definitely one of those two.

Trans is not an ideology unless you think your right to be who you are is an ideology rather than a basic human right. Let people be who they want to be. Let people do what we all do throughout our lives, just trying to work out how and who to be in a world of challenges.

Due to reverse engineering works, all bus services on Sunday will be replaced by trains.

(Yes, I came up with the 'reverse engineering works' phrase and worked back from there.

Thoroughly enjoyed #Shucked at Regents Park Open Air Theatre last night. A terrific venue, amazing cast - what voices - and a script and story with plenty of laughs. Standout moment was Independently Owned, as expected, but so much more to enjoy!
Regents Park open air theatre, with the staging for Shucked. The stage has the frame of a wonky wooden house, some slightly dead corn plants and beautiful lighting - although outdoors, the sky is darkening and the stage lights are coming into their own.

Kyrens Floral Break

In a world where the snooker balls glide,
Kyren plays with both skill and with pride.
With daffodils near,
He conquers his fear,
As he lines up the shot, bright and wide.

Cis people: if you see someone trying to bully trans folks out of single-sex spaces, it’s your moral duty to intervene.
