I spent most of the day talking to scared people in Hollywood www.allyourscreens.com/latest-news/...

meep! they don't love you like I love you

Looks like WBD Max is coming to the UK in 2026 cc @allyourscreens.bsky.social

meanwhile, just a few blocks away, Samantha had her sights set on a rich CEO as well

Reacquainting myself with my first wine love - Priorat - recently. Have just found someone has imported the Jean Simo wines into the UK - haven't had these since the pre-Brexit days of ordering from a small shop in Tarragona.

I stumbled on a post here about cats being allowed or not allowed outside and everyone was so certain about their view being 100% correct, no nuance or accounting for circumstance

Really quite enjoying the resurrection of authoritative voice overs in TV at the moment (see Bad Monkey, Kaos et al.). Makes me want to watch Amelie, and to a lesser extent, Y Tu Mama Tambien, again.

Heads up to the science folks, since I know most of us are on Linkedin - they’ve started auto-opting people in for AI data scraping (and yes, I’ve confirmed the preference is there and defaults to on.) 🧪🧬🖥️ To turn it off, go to Preferences > Data Privacy > “Data for AI Improvement”.

Youtube gets a bad rap sometimes.... but despite all the disinformation, the muck-spreading and the cats it did give us Russell Brand's Parklife... which in many ways, is the Venus de Milo of our era. youtu.be/8B_Evl1fiLA?...

Monday on wheresyoured.at We may be in a subprime AI crisis. The entire generative AI market is run on the back of unprofitable tech run at prices subsidised by big tech, and when OpenAI and others have to charge their real prices, there may be terrible consequences.

is it time to share my naomi wolf story on bluesky? I've talked about it before - I livetweeted it happening! - but I don't think I've shared it here. Wolf and I were at Oxford at the same time, which is where she made the horrendous mistake in her doctoral thesis that this post references.

Absolutely adore Popbitch

Interesting article www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very good read, even if you have read Roan's Instagram statement.

Using quotation marks won't save you from the wine marketing sin of "the Latour of [region]" Lay & Wheeler

Compelling article on student politics, of all things, at the University of Alabama and how it is controlled by a secret organisation

I'll saturate your data lines etc.

Finally did it and deleted my Twitter account today. It was bad before but it's almost intentionally awful now. Let's hope the few people I followed there that aren't here yet make the leap soon.

Will the Minister condemn a racist donor? youtu.be/wv5p69L3tJY
