The real Salt Path: how the couple behind a bestseller le... Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. We can reveal it was far from the truth

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social

Jo also spent a day being Paolozzi’s PA, but I think that was more than enough for both of them 😁. Welcome PSSA, mum would be very glad to see your presence continuing in this crazy world.

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative β€˜AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Mark Watson Comedian, author, that sort of thing.

I think it is right for me to mention that I have a YouTube channel, where I put episodes of a (silly) weekly series and this year shall be putting all manner of other stuff. I’ve wrestled with it, and I do think it’s right. So there we are.

If I was picking person of the year, without a shadow of a doubt, it would be Gisele Pelicot. She has and will change things around the world.

Afternoon thought, exploring representation of character on my Creative Writing MA. The #BechdelTest sets 3 criteria for a text (film, book, play) that:
i) involves at least two women
ii) who talk to each other
iii) about something besides a man.
Not judging, just can't think...
Mind blank. Anyone?

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.

We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.

Joy is my favorite weapon.

In a world where podcasts increasingly rule the airwaves, Short Cuts is a regular, important reminder of how excellent radio broadcasts can be. Please give it a listen and consider adding your name to this petition. If it worked for 6 Musicβ€¦πŸ€žπŸ»
