By far the best delivery of a scripted joke by a politician that I have ever seen. Drop the Dead Donkey, "Awards" (TX: 18/3/93)

The only thing you ever need to read about Cummings is the @vizcomic.bsky.social cartoon. Perfect encapsulation of his character and work.

It’s mad how many private school scare stories and anti-trans articles you have to wade through to get to actual news in The Times.

There are around 10k private school kids in Edinburgh. 51 have moved to state schools in January. As I've repeatedly said the effects of VAT on fees are going to be minimal. www.thetimes.com/article/ab42...

'A government spokesperson said: “Current uncertainty about how copyright law applies to AI is holding back the creative industries and AI sector from realising their full potential."' I notice the government are not sugesting the power companies give the AI sector their electricity for free.

oh boy! Labour publishing this kind of horrid AI art while their consultation on generative AI is going on - that really inspires confidence that they'll listen to dissenting voices in the creative industry, doesn't it!

If you’re creating new Popeye work be careful - although the character is now in the public domain, his iconic catchphrase “I’ll fuck anything that moves” won’t enter the public domain till 2032

UK creatives who hate AI - read this please! The government is doing an open consultation on copyright and AI, which will inform how it goes about integrating AI (or not) into various plans to 'grow the economy'. You can respond online, please take a look and share this. www.gov.uk/government/c...

The notion of AI generated kids books/media in general is so desperately fucking bleak. I mean, obviously everyone deserves authored art made with meaning, but kids especially deserve that. They need it! Giving AI slop to a kid is, imho, absolutely no different from saying "I simply do not care"

As it's December, please enjoy this haunted Christmas window display I saw that instantly sucked all festive spirit from my soul. Whoever devised this has divorced parents, I've never been so sure about anything. 🎄

No matter how many times I see them, the “portraits” of her now-deceased cats my mother-in-law commissioned from an “artist” in Germany are never anything short of breathtaking.

Thinking again about when we used the Football Manager editor to allow players to get 17th Century illnesses and injuries. Glen Johnson caught the plague.
