It's what popped up in my head, after When the Wind Blows and the propping up of doors to hide under. A genuine "headline" stolen from Essex Live.

Same. I instantly see myself in my old kitchen washing up looking out into the garden, my children were small, and Xfm were playing this on the radio.

I did question Chat GPT about such things. Just wondering. I absolutely refuse to use it for work, when I am faced with other photographers using it all the time.
This is a highlight.

It's such a wonderfully distracting moon tonight. I keep going outside to look.

I was going to post this, but it's a grey area. It's not Disney, but sort of is a bit.

I have a very vivid memory of ER being on the tv while I was revising for my GCSEs.
It does not feel that long ago.

It’s 19 degrees and the ladybirds are out and about. A no jacket day in February.
I don’t want to go back to winter now.

The reviews make it sound like these can be outdoor trousers, I would disagree. They feel too thin for that. Perfect for indoors.
I have a couple of pairs. One for sleep, one for lounge. Working from home I have to dress differently or I would just go back to bed.

I've never really found pyjamas I like, I don't really do those kinds of patterns and colours.
So I've been wearing these as my pyjama bottoms for years, soft and they have pockets. Thankfully at this price they do last years. www.hush-uk.com/alexa-harem-...

It was just too nice and warm a day to spend all of it working. I had to pop out for a walk.
I cannot wait for spring.

Ars Technica Retracts Story Featuring Fake Quotes Made Up By AI, About A Different AI That Launched A Weird Smear Campaign Against An Engineer Who Rejected Its CodeΒ (Seriously) Last week, Denver-area engineer Scott Shambaugh wrote about how an AI agent (likely prompted by its operator) started a weird little online campaign against him after he rejected its code inclusion in the popular Python charting library matplotlib. The owner likely didn't appreciate Shambaugh openly questioning whether AI-generated code belongs in open source projects at all. The story starts delightfully weird and gets weirder: Shambaugh, who volunteers for matpllotlib, …

A red Escort XR3i parked somewhere in Yorkshire. Mum and two daughters. I am the one in the pink standing up inside the car.

A red Escort XR3i parked somewhere in Yorkshire. Mum and two daughters. I am the one in the pink standing up inside the car.

My dad had an XR3i, a company car, an idea that blows my mind now.
One memory of that car is my neighbour the BMX star Andy Ruffell took it for a spin. The other is listening to Steve Winwood with the roof down. It was a fun car.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

This:

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs [...] That is removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

FACT OF THE DAY. 21 February 1946. Aneurin Bevan announced the Labour Government’s proposals for a National Health Service. The service began on 5 July 1948. Its introduction represented one of the greatest social reforms in British History which helped every citizen.
