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.

I wore no coat, no jacket... I have been delighted all day. This is not dull.

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.

If you ever pop down my way this is the scene in my local right now. Not far from Chelmsford.

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.

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.

My mum left me many copies of what used to be my local paper, the Essex Chronicle, founded in 1764. Proper news, culture, arts. Great local journalism.
Reach acquired it in 2012.
Now it's a fucking bin fire of clickbait. I am quite sure the writers behind this did not aspire to this.

The Democracy Manifest guy being manhandled into a red car by the cops. He's now Andy Windsor and one of the arresting officers is Paddington Bear, who always puts in a shift regardless of his day job as a Peruvian psychopomp.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
