😹 my cat makes exactly the same meow when she wants me to open the door because she’s too lazy to use the catflap! 🤣 the longer In leave it, the louder and more annoying she makes it!

I left social media for a while and didn’t miss it much. Only came to BlueSky to check it out and mostly enjoying - I just follow Booksky, authors, friends & cat photos. The rage about what’s happening in America is depressing & having to filter through it all to find the stuff I like is draining.

Cover of novel The Street by Biyi Bandele

i will cry (in a good way) if this actually ripples throughout the industry!

OpenAI furious because DeepSeek may have used their model without asking permission, giving credit or offering compensation.

Sound familiar?

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

When the going gets tough, go to the bookshop ❤️

IMO, for Jake and Leanne the last three rounds of voting wasn’t about finding traitors, it was to shrink the pack so they’d get a bigger share of the pot.

Joe run a pub? #traitorsUK Murder him tonight to save us from that, please!
