Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Microsoft's AI-powered autocorrect is now suggesting that I use the Oxford comma, even in unambiguous contexts. Time to switch everything off.

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

Even though it is broken down, I don’t this I would be able to say this … but I love the idea that a word exists to describe the sound of the wind through trees or rustling leaves 🍁 🍂🍁

"Mr President, is there any update on the autopen?"

I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

I'm in a science humour group on Facebook. Someone posted a table of how different exposures of radioactivity compare, eg sitting near a banana vs an X-ray, along with a joke. Lots of us added jokes. I added a joke. A man came along in the comments to explain radioactivity to me.

Utah Governor Blames Social Media for fomenting US political violence. He definitely has a point but THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE GUNS. The. Guns.

Catching up after holidays - this is the best thing I have read on Generative AI and where it will end up in a long time. Don't believe the hype - these tools are impressive, but you should not entrust them with strategic or creative leadership. Or even complicated maths.
