It’s horrible and not even imaginative. I hope their car’s timing belt breaks and they drive over big sharp nails. And may their spectacles be smeared and their cloths greasy!

Tonight I helped Beavers do an egg drop and then dash over to the Cheltenham Lit Fest and watch an excellent panel discuss conspiracy theories. The two are not connected. Or are they?! @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social @philtinline.bsky.social

Badenough is queen of pointless announcements and she has excelled herself with this one.

And I just realised that my current mouse is right handed not left handed 🀣

I do tend to use right handed scissors now but as a child I really struggled - I do prefer my left handed waiter’s friend but it confuses everyone else!

I met a girl at uni who seemed to be truly ambi - she couldn’t tell you which hand she did anything with and she risked being deducted points at trampoline competitions for inconsistent direction of her twists because she was entirely random and couldn’t fix on one or the other!

I have a left handed tin opener 🀣

Bit of both? Eg, I prefer to write & use a mouse with my left and hold a sharp knife with my right but I can switch. Things like holding a cup I will use elther. Tennis rackets etc I switch to reach without realising!

And yet I see people and businesses still following the generative AI willow the wisp into the bog… I just hope they wake up before the internet is entirely broken as a source of (possible) facts

I know, the prediction now is that the complete underwhelm of AI is going to crash the economy and make subprime mortgages look small. And it will be the least surprising thing EVER.
