I finally feel vindicated for my repeated insistence that heterosexuality was a marketing ploy invented in the 1880s by the powerful soda-fountain and rollerskating lobby

ONE OF the greatest comedies??! Surely one of the greatest movies of all time. The peak of cinematic art. And specifically, Gomez: Let me hear it from his own lips! Debbie: HIS LIPS ARE BUSY! Kills me every time

This is also a damning indictment of UUK and every single Vice Chancellor in the UK. They've utterly failed to convince the government that action is needed to save the higher education sector, despite their disgustingly large salaries. What are they actually being paid to do?

I’m still never going to get over the fact that one day I’m going to have to explain to my child that, at the most it was most crucial to act on climate change & prevent a ruinous future, all our generations just decided to double down and burn the world for AI garbage.

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.

I’d say it’s even worse than this. Current Labour policy is actively damaging HE and creative sectors. Both places of immense soft power where, for a range of reasons, the UK punches well above its weight. + Creative sector worth billions yet being eroded by terrible policy decisions.
