Every morning my alert goes off and every morning I ask my wife if sheโ€™s done her little jobs that she relies on me to remind her to do and every morning

Every time my wife takes a day off work something happens to ruin it. She tries to drive somewhere nice? The car breaks down. A nice day at home? The toddler is sick. Today my wife is off work and, because apparently we didnโ€™t get the message the other times, BEE TORNADO

It was sugarfree 7up so Iโ€™m hoping there was little enough nutritional value to discourage anything from making the soda-soaked passenger seat of my car its forever home

Spilled quite a lot of 7up on the passenger seat of my car last night. Need to let the car properly dry out and itโ€™s a lovely dry day for it but I canโ€™t just leave my car with all the doors open so this morning I am WFC.

Newspaper stand with newspapers all carrying the front page Campaign 'make it fAIr'

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.

I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.
