When I was doing my PGCE we were heavily encouraged to use AI to help with lesson planning. I asked it to give me a list of the first 20 elements in a random order, the list included triangle, gold and air. Not touched it since.

Incredibly good advice from someone who used to rate AI results. Definitely going to use this.

This "contests" infrastructure would also let us expand to other contests: the Golden Globes, the Emmys, the Grammys, whatever. That's been on my wishlist for years, I'm excited we're almost there πŸ”Š

Currently cooking on Oscaround, our little Oscars-tracking website: Oscar contenders!

We've pulled together some lists of films guesses so we can beta test new features like the upcoming Oscars pools (track movies and predictions with your friends!).

Coming soon!

I can only accept the end of The Winter's Tale if I headcanon that Hermione bolted after Act 1.

She's spent the last 16 years not isolated in a cottage but dancing in Paris, outdrinking Russian nobles, assembling a sapphic band of outlaw scholars. She's only back for her daughter's wedding.

I'm fascinated how ballet, being wordless dance, expands on a story's setting, which in a play or opera would be told in just a few lines or a brief interlude: the friendship of two kings, the village frolick, the grief of loss. It's really cool.
