I don’t know why I keep calling them β€˜night clothes’ when asking my kids to put their pyjamas on during Daddy Put Down but there we are. My brain insists on the Victorian naming for this one specific item

In discussion with a computer scientist from the University of Cambridge last night:

Me: "you've described some of the things that AI is good at. How would you describe the category of things it's not good at?

Him: "Anything where it has to be right".

Always nice to be in Crookes, Sheffield but bit unsettling the way all the men look like the singer from Eels

Your bright eyes fill my soul
Your kiss a sacred dream
The dream is one that lasts
Until the end of the world
