The sexiest scene in modern cinema is in Frozen 2, where Kristoff catches up with Anna and says "I'm here. What do you need?" No taking over No problem solving No 'what YOU need to do is...' Just 'I'm here. What do you need?" Swoon!

I love Pedro Pascal, and I love the hit of nostalgia, BUT a) I hate this new format of trailers where characters talk at each other in voice-over (cf also He-Man), and b) Can it really be classed as Popeye if no one says 'A-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!'? search.app/duYfr

Aside from all the casual (and not so casual) racism and lack of awareness of how inflation works, there's also the fact that London... just isn't all that

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

One of the best and worst things about #writing a fictionalised retelling is that I've got completely confuddled w my research. 'Did Ajax take over the functions of Wanax after Hesione escaped Telamon?' - I, um... 'Did Ajax really have a thing for dried apple rings?' - Er, one moment...

Easily the most comprehensive & committed housing settlement for a long time. Bravo! @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social: "For the avoidance of doubt...the £39bn announced yesterday is all new money for this Spending Review & beyond, over & above the £12.3 billion budget for the AHP between 2021-2026."

My conspiracy thinking: golf isn't real. I've never met anyone who plays it, watches it, follows it. Yet somehow it is important enough to be in the BBC news. So, I have decided: it must be a numbers station to give agents instructions.

When bad things happen to you, it’s your fault. When bad things happens to me, that’s also your fault, or at least the fault of people like you. This is (part of) the mindset that has brought us where we are in politics today.

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.
