NEW | A special treat… MEDIA VS. THE MACHINE A guest post from @drkatedevlin.bsky.social – who I also happen to be married to – on AI and the press. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/39-media-v...

I would take a ā€œtough on crime and tough on immigrationā€ party seriously if they made some attempt to explain how expensive the state capacity to do all the enforcement would be. Prisons, 24-hour courts, armed police and naval blockades: pricey.

It’s about a week since we let this out into the wild. It’s a feel good cover. I enjoyed pouring over hundreds of hours of last years tour footage too… #Ai is so overrated when real film and a manual creativity is SO MUCH FUN. youtu.be/GOSh9x_PMtg?...

With Lawless successfully under my boots now it’s all steam ahead for a little road trip to Enniskillen Comic Fest in Northern Ireland in 10 days. Can’t wait. Bring it on!

The news is designed to tell you what to worry about tomorrow.

Blimey. Clegg really did fall into the cult hole at Meta. The fella literally used to be respectable.

My issue with the people who scream ā€œunethicalā€ at this (which it is btw) are that a lot of them aren’t screaming at the companies who programmatically stalked your behavior for advertising reasons for decades. The only difference is one sells peace and one sells trash. techstory.in/student-unle...

Throughly enjoyed having a little chinwag with the insanely talented @robbiemorrison.bsky.social at this weekends @lawlesscomiccon.bsky.social in Bristol. Shakara is without a doubt a fine fine piece of modern storytelling and his new book Heretic is looking to join Shakara in that club.

my god, this is amazing. apparently from a NY Times interview with Neill and Goldblum. Resharing with alt text so everyone can enjoy

Fab Day 1 of @lawlesscomiccon.bsky.social with my daughter. Friendly faces + an abundance of old-skool talent being shared. A total honour & privilege to spend time chatting to Doug Braithwaite who is a proper creative hero of mine. Big shout out to D'Israeli and Ian Edginton for their time. šŸ’«šŸ’„

Feeling very privileged to be invited back to cut some footage together again for my favourite bands new cover of Doobie Brothers ā€˜Long Train Runnin’ … we set up the cameras last year and just let it all roll. (You can stick your Ai up your do-dar… real is a lot more fun!) youtu.be/GOSh9x_PMtg?...

Any chance the @heroesforhire.bsky.social pirates will be joining us at Enniskillen comic fest in June? It should be a really fun few days. m.facebook.com/EnniskillenC...

One of my favourite weekends of the year; @lawlesscomiccon.bsky.social in Bristol. Can’t wait to meet, thank and listen to some of my absolute literary and creative heroes. Got some absolute bangers to get signed too, which I’ll be posting shots of as they happen.

I’m softening on OpenAi… they have a lot of issues in IP infringement which trouble me greatly, but I have boundless volumes of admiration and respect for Jonny Ive and his judgement is unquestionably astute. Whatever they’re cooking is going to be hot. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Whether you believe Reeves resume and LinkedIn or not, the fact still remains she’s from the city and on the side of the city… she’s not a chancellor for the people, she’s a chancellor for the dwellers of Canary Wharf. Labour needs a chancellor who is a) qualified, and b) on the people’s agenda.

Wait, is this -- is this real? They actually published a list of books that may or may not exist? (The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir is, for example, not an actual book!) Please, jfc, tell me this isn't real. I'm not finding it online anywhere, which makes me hope it's fake? Gotta be fake, please?

A man who had a private school education… before attending Duke University and Carnegie Mellon University šŸ˜†šŸ˜‚ he clearly hates teachers and teachers… maybe… just maybe, he’s trying to sell a service?! The dude is so flimsy.

🄁 Drumroll, please… This Thursday at 8pm BST, we sit down with Electrasy’s percussive powerhouse Christopher ā€˜Padge’ Page. Latin roots, rock’n’roll tales, and what really gets it banging. Tune in — it’s gonna be LOUD. youtu.be/A_Ou-jN6r5s?...

No more threats… do… we’ve sat back and watched a full scale extermination occur and done NOTHING to stop it.

#BlueSky is haemorrhaging engagement at a rather alarming rate… and yet somehow I still feel more relaxed and happy posting here than the other place. The problem is (I think) it’s really hard to gain traction here + I’m already being flooded with the same bile as Twitter. bsky.jazco.dev/stats

It’s going to make decision-making based on experience, wisdom and a deep understanding of right and wrong redundant… VCs are going to lose a lot a lot a lot of money on poor investments.

We showed up…

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES
