a raven just flew into my chamber and started quothing but I gave it some quoth mixture & that sorted it out

‘Dance of Autumn,’ Piotr Stachiewicz, circa 1917

AI art is the new Comic Sans

You *must* also listen to the second most recent episode, with Dr Carissa Véliz, who doesn't just push back on AI inevitability but the entire concept of forecast culture and faux-empiricism. Such a great listen!! People endlessly arguing about data centre forecasts, and it's pointless!

Lunch (solo) in Boswells in Cowley Centre, #Oxford. I am finally starting to experience the world as a retired person.

Tranquility of Dawn. Suima

Excellent long explainer from @monkemma.bsky.social on the "new jobs"/migrants nonsense. I have already complained to www.ipso.co.uk/making-a-com... about the Mail, but feel free to complain about the Sun, Express, Telegraph, etc...

It's slightly unnerving that they knew that I tend to go by the name 'Candidate Name'. Maybe we are close to having a Super Intelligence.

All day in A&E yesterday. This is just the obligatory post praising the dedicated and madly cheerful heroes who work there. I know people say you can't just chuck money at a problem but I dunno man when I left, the queue just to get past reception was out the door in the dark. Doubling the size of

We can't seriously expect people to choose rail when it costs three times as much as flying. We need a clear duty on the Secretary of State and Great British Railways, to improve the affordability of travelling by train and make fares fair.

The other day I talked to an aunt who has truly seen everything, and she couldn’t overstate how much more racist England now feels. When a working-class black woman in her mid-seventies tells you it’s bad, then it’s really bad.

It's been pretty clear all along, he, Trump, wants someone he approves of, probably one of Putin's men, in charge in Kyiv. Then they can divvy up the spoils of what we previously called The EU.

Always worth a read ...

PS when people say the UK ended homelessness during Covid, it’s not actually true

To deny the link between religion and nationalism is to wilfully ignore history. I applaud moderate Christians who speak out against dangerous Christian nationalism today. But Christianity was the state religion of the Roman Empire… 1/3 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Interesting event in #Oxford this afternoon hosted by Oxford Community Action 2-5 PM at @fusionartsox.bsky.social on Park End Street. Including a talk from Michael La Rose from New Beacon Books, UK’s first black publisher, specialist bookshop and international book distributor.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

I've spent the last couple of months looking into how Green-run councils are exploring safer drug consumption facilities/rooms and other harm reduction spaces Campaigners and experts argue they could be introduced without a change in the law if arrangements were made with local police forces👇

"ChatGPT gave me continuity, language and a way to interrogate my care. It also flattered, over-validated and mirrored my framing. Ultimately, however, it responded to me as a person asking a question, rather than first and foremost as a bipolar patient"

The folks who want flock cameras in your neighborhood, the folks who wanna read your emails without a warrant, the folks who say, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, why do you wanna hide it?” have withheld 3 million Epstein files and redacted the rest (Thomas Massie) x.com/RepThomasMas...

Yesterday was the Sonoran Valley Print Festival in Tucson, which was delightful, but also there were textiles on the walls and ceiling, and upcycled pep talk doilies in the window that I loved. #DHmakes

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates. We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.

Canada will never forget.

Great article. Richard Adams needs his hard drive checking.

A reminder that Lewis Page's analysis of defence matters sharply divides other experts. Mostly it divides them between those who think he's a fucking idiot and those who quite agree but prefer not to swear.

Oh wait, someone has thought of this before!

The Green's Baroness Bennett points out that Palantir did not have any experience in health data and only got NHS contracts after being introduced by the now disgraced Peter Mandelson Making the case that data ownership should be with the NHS, not with external parties
