Nothing like the pilot saying “obviously it’s very lovely here, but I hope you have your umbrellas and raincoats ready for when we land” for confirming you’re on the flight home 🇬🇧

Pinky: So Brain, what did you get up to today?

Brain: Well Pinky, I tried to take over the world, but then I got hyperfixated on how to use structural equation modelling for system design for 15 straight hours, forgot to eat, and collapsed exhausted at midnight.

Pinky: same again tomorrow?

Running dangerously low on Yorkshire Tea. Active rationing is occurring. Fortunately, a reconnaissance mission to England is planned for next week. Otherwise: digital ethics, analogue anarchy.

Turns out that you can, in fact, first do things bigger in life than dating the boy on the football team AND then marry the man on the pro football team

Sam Altman keeps saying the quiet part out loud - valuations are too high, there's no biz model w/copyright, there's not enough electricity, LLMs aren't the path to AGI - yet govts and AI cheerleaders seemingly bend over backwards to ignore that fortune.com/2025/08/20/u...

U.S. tech stocks slide after Altman warns of AI bubble and MIT study casts doubt on the hype

Investors’ long-running enthusiasm for artificial intelligence showed signs of faltering on Tuesday as tech stocks tumbled.

Do I need to spend all day working on fellowship applications? Yes.

Will that be made infinitely harder by the fact that I have Swiftlag from staying up all night for #TS12 announcements? Also yes. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This August is less salt air, rusted doors, meet me behind the mall, and more why do you write like you’re running out of time …

The relief of finally finishing a paper that has been stuck in my brain, like a very annoying thorn in my side/ stone in my shoe, for MONTHS really knows no bounds. Time for some fiction and Ice Cream.

Tell me how I am supposed to cure myself of just-returned homesickness by dancing around to too loud music when it’s 33 degrees INSIDE even with the A/C on ?!?!? 😭😭😭😭

Back home in England and found these gems in the primary school archive. Turns out there’s not much difference between 9/10-year-old me and now—except the only theatre I ended up in is a lecture theatre.

Certificate dated 11th January 2001 awarded to Jessica Morley for “great enthusiasm in Science,” with the word “BRILLIANT” in bold.

Handwritten school essay titled "My Hopes for the Future," expressing ambitions to work hard, get good GCSEs, and become well-paid in the theatre.

"AI won't save healthcare on its own" is my current mantra. I explain why in this interview with Artur Olesch conducted after HIMSS in Paris last month: aboutdigitalhealth.com/2025/07/16/a...
