A reminder.

Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.

Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

If you live in Caerphilly and you don't want Nigel Farage vote Plaid Cymru.

The humble plant that could save the world — or destroy it Clean energy expansion could destroy this crucial climate solution.

It can't, and it won't.

It's the continuation of our burning of fossil fuels, or stopping it ASAP, that will either save the world or destroy it.

However, I do feel sorry for the people of Caerphilly, the choices are so overwhelmingly old, white men who don't seem to have an original political thought in their minds.

Personally I hope that in the Caerphilly by-election Reform don't win. From the polls it looks like the Plaid candidate is the only one capable of beating Reform so I guess I hope they win.

C’mon good people of Caerffili, send a message of hope not hate across Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️❌

Caerphilly by-election prediction; narrow Reform win (perhaps in recount territory).

Really hope I’m wrong, but the UK media have massively facilitated Reform turning this devolved by-election into being about non-devolved matters which may prove decisive.

Which is interested because I'd say that for a lot of people involved in pushing AI tech; the CEOs, sycophants and so forth, that's exactly what they want in a 'friend'. They're not looking for friendship, they just want people hanging on their every, ill-informed word.

The reporter says: "There’s nothing interesting about interacting with “someone” who just wants to hear about your day, and doesn’t have any history, anecdotes, foibles, insecurities or opinions of their own."

‘I’m suddenly so angry!’ My strange, unnerving week with an AI ‘friend’ The ad campaign for the wearable AI chatbot Friend has been raising hackles for months in New York. But has this companion been unfairly maligned – and could it help end loneliness?

This is such a funny article about an AI wearable 'friend' that sounds like a nightmare.

Curses, whispers and a demon fly: this is the story of the first Welshwoman executed for witchcraft While thousands were executed for witchcraft across Europe, Gwen ferch Ellis was one of only five put to death in Wales.

Compared with Essex, it seems Wales was quite robust about avoiding the potent mix of misogyny, classism, rumour, gossip, anti-Catholicism and scapegoating that led to an epidemic of witchcraft trials in the 16th & 17th centuries. But it was not entirely immune:

It’s been almost a decade since we made this longform about the Aberfan tragedy to mark the 50th anniversary of the disaster in 2016.

It remains one of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on, and I wanted to share it again today on the anniversary.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) never gets old. It may be a perfect movie.

Okay. Now do poppies.

I am so excited that this actually works!

We were working on a SNES 'Taz' game at Software Creations in about 1993/4 and all that remains of the game are these three Taz sprite frames. That may change if I uncover any other artwork. I believe these were drawn/animated by Andy Wilson ( RIP ). Andy is at the front in the photo.

a very spooky tutorial

I love these!

I can't wait for the Magic: The Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cards! I'll probably just end up getting digital commander decks for Arena but I kind of want to spend all my money and buy all the cards.

Put this person in charge of all future crossovers. Of course it should be cowabundle!

Completely forgot I ordered this. A lovely present from past me!

Newspaper article with the headline “I woke up with a Welsh accent”. Includes a photo of a woman looking off into the distance. The caption below says “I’ve never even seen an episode of Gavin and Stacey”.

Just been reminded of my favourite newspaper photo caption.
