How will childhood be changed by AI toys? | Letter www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... Great letter from Dr Emily J Goodacre (my niece) in The Guardian today in response to article about AI Toys earlier in the week.

I know everyone says this but the news is so depressing in so many different ways. We really need uplift - music, poetry, flowers, birds, sunshine.

I was surprised to see The Guardian referring to 'illegal migrants' in their UK Politics stream. There is no such thing as The Guardian well knows.

Looking forward to it. Good to have quality broadcasting at that time. P.S. you two look like you are in a wholesome family catalogue or IKEA advert or similar. Could be a good side hustle.

Wo. Cricket. Test Matches. Amazing!

Late Shift (#Heldin) what a film! Drama about nurse over a dramatic shift at a Swiss hospital. Leonie Benesch brilliant in central role. Just about holds on to reality and avoids cliche but sort of inspiring in the end. Need a stiff drink afterwards though.

Check out the recordings from #PEDALConference2025, including me presenting preliminary results from our scoping review on generative AI toys 📖👇

Have we used the joke about there being no escape from Alcaraz yet?

#NeilYoung at #GlastonburyFestival - the elderly relatives you weren't sure if they were up to it bit and then they get up on stage - and then you just feel 'I am not worthy' in a Wayne's World sort of way.

Trying to get something sorted with British Gas through their Customer Service is like some kind of bizarre Kafa-esque experience.

ABBA Voyage has generated a total economic impact of £1.4 billion for London. The show's impact is significant, with every £1 of ABBA Voyage's revenue generating £4.45 in turnover for the wider London economy.

Bloody forriners coming over here, generating money for the British economy. 🙄

A fitting way to travel to yesterday's thought-provoking workshop on playful and ethical AI for children at #IDC2025

Or where's the willy? Answer: nearly every where?

Coco Gauff ‘proud to represent Americans that look like me’ in French Open final triumph Coco Gauff said she hoped she had provided some positivity for her supporters given the political situation in the United States

Coco Gauff ‘proud to represent Americans that look like me’ in French Open final triumph www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j... and Sabalenka rather ungracious in defeat it seems.

This is such a nice positive story.

Very very disappointed in the use of 'island of strangers' and 'taking back control' in Pam's speech today and also lack of mention of positive aspects of immigration. A Labour government must be better than this.

Finally through. Feel justified for my usual thing of getting to airport 3 hours in advance. Seems they've sorted IT issue but huge waiting crowds still.

Total chaos at Stansted Airport. IT outage.
