SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I hope you played the version with Chloe Dancer at the beginning. If not, I think you need to add a cheeky 4th track and play Chloe Dancer on its own.

Easy plod with the dog at lunchtime. Had to stop him from lunging for a whole sausage roll someone had dropped. Never a dull moment.

I think there's a narrative/myth/lie being pushed that most of the refugees are actually "economic migrants" of "fighting age" and that they couldn't possibly be fleeing such situations.

My unsolicited advice - go and see a physio. My Achilles didn't start getting better until I started rehabbing it. Rest alone was not enough.
Good luck!

Today's run stats.

Longest run/walk in aaaaages. Both time and distance. Plenty of walk breaks to try and keep the HR down in this heat. But it feels good just to be out!
Bonus cat picture.
