Oh good, Hugh Bonneville has written a children’s book. There’s such a gap in that market, it really needed a celebrity to fill it.

Thank the lord. This would be an atrocity too far.

Thank you - so do I ! She’s got my spirit, not just my likeness.

Absolutely chuffed to pieces to have my portrait drawn - disconcerting that it’s my head three ft high. Trudy Barber is bloody great - big eads at Art Space Brougham Road Southsea. I’m Claire on the stairs.

A reminder that this week the Conservatives announced they want a “British ICE”

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 1d

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Just back from a gravitational waves event at the Spinnaker tower. Mind blown, amazing views, meteor went past. Well done UoP cosmology, you are so good at this stuff.

That’s gorgeous. I half expected you to jump in.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Once, survived another round last year.

Claire P @princessclairina.bsky.social · 4d

Sadly not.

A complete lack of footballing brains too if they don’t recognise the shift Bishop puts in (and takes defenders out, leaving gaps for others). Heard the Harry/Defoe song made a comeback too, ffs.

Meanwhile, if you see a clip of me saying the ID card contract has gone to Tony Blair’s son: it hasn’t. That was something I was given to ask about on HIGNFY last night, but turns out to be a false report from the internet. Which is bad news for the fact checkers but good news for social mobility.
