BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.” It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.

Authors looking up their work to see if it’s been nicked by AI (when it all has, don’t bother checking) is a powerful reminder that to someone who has written a book, each work is an individual human artefact. But to the LLM and the tech bros, it’s just soup. All just soup. Meaningless soup.

It's Mothering Sunday in less than a fortnight. I'll be reading out the names of our #RememberedMums in church on the morning of Sunday March 30th. If you'd like to add your late mother's name, let me know. It can be oddly comforting to know her name will sound out once again. Reposts welcome. ❤️ 👑

I am reading - don't ask - about government grants to stately homes. For the last seventy years there has been a total firehose of cash into estates owned by aristocrats. Right now, with a government cutting PIP payments, with people living in mouldy houses, I can't stomach a single pound of it.

Brickfields Park in Bath re-imagined for teenage girls. Which they did by asking the teenage girls what they want - and so the results are spectacular. [and yes, I was a small part of that process, but the real kudos goes to Your Park for seeing the project through to this]

A Turkish proverb that seems fitting right now: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a sultan. The palace becomes a circus.” Except it’s far more serious than that.

Happy 80th birthday to Robert Wyatt - a true hero. Here's his superb version of I'm a Believer from #TOTP in 1974. The producer asked him to sit in a wicker chair as his wheelchair "was not suitable for family viewing". Robert told him where to go! youtu.be/Y7PBPd3UA7Q
