two thirds of the image is taken up with flat blue sea except where the light displaces it. The top third is almost the same blue clear sky. There's a ship to the right top of the image. a zig zag cliff inlet with very turquoise water and blue skies. To the left, two people are on the cliff, one leaning back against a rock, one standing. Both looking out to sea an orange and blue tend is on a very clean sandy beach. The sea is light blue and the sky a darker blue with some cloud. In the background is a green grassy hill looking down to the sea from a cliff, some of which can be seen jutting from the left. Top left is a partial shipwreck in the mist. There are several kayakers in the sea near it which gives everything a sense of scale.

Calling it a day shortly so here are some photos to end the day on. Cornwall from 2023.

His big use case was translation and now a bunch of multilingual people are telling him his translations (via LLM) are really bad πŸ˜…

I mean this is just the online version of 'you should smile more' etc etc. Repackaged misogyny.

Yikes. I do wonder about the links between reliance of men on chat bots, and how they treat / talk to women.

I've done it where it was the only source (interview material)

I honestly think in this case you'd have to be incredibly aware that anyone you put in front of a camera to criticise these 'men', but *particularly* women, would immediately be at very real risk. The entire documentary is showing the misogyny, narcissism, and violence the men are capable of.

It's been discussed more in the context of the Manosphere, but: A consequence of being fully submerged in the Trump-era for over a decade is that an entire generation of reactionary-minded men (mostly) have come of age in a social landscape where shamelessness & cruelty are aspirational traits.

God, aren't they just. When the bit came up at the end to say Angie had left the podcaster idiot, I actually yelled 'YES!'.

a small brick building in disrepair. It has shutters over the doors and holes in the roof. A lot of plants and trees are growing over and around it a back road in Horden with some plants in the foreground and single storey buildings further down on either side an old billiard hall, single storey with its windows boarded up. It's in good repair. two terraced houses in red brick, with the ground floor windows and doors boarded up.

We were in Horden yesterday filming a brother and sister who face eviction from their childhood home because of 'regeneration' (see: gentrification). More soon. In the meantime here are some images of Horden from recent years.

I mean, that's the case anywhere, and what we've always done in the past. But we can't this time, hence asking for recommendations for central places.

Yeah. In the past we've stayed at the end of a line and Tubed in but sadly not an option this time. Feel like sacking it off tbh!

I think that's a bit too far out unfortunately but thanks Amy. Trapped in an annoying position of being somewhat pinned by dates/area coupled with my health/mobility issues.

I use Gemini when I'm bored β€” and it's better than doomscrolling It became my ultimate distraction

I've just seen this shared elsewhere and wonder if this sort of thing taps into the decline of reading (in all forms)

yeah sadly the timing is not our choosing and I think they're popular dates so pushing the prices up 😩

I think we might have to stay elsewhere and try to make it work somehow 😩 (or not go at all). I massively resent how much it costs to travel and stay in London even when it's only 3ish hours by train. Could do (and have done) this in Europe so much cheaper.

I don't do a newsletter but for a while I've been seeing trends of people just not having the time/energy/will etc to commit to reading written material, especially longform stuff. I (of course) blame AI to an extent for starting to re-wire people into wanting a quick result (shorter

Sure, but doesn't explain the Wednesday price hike? Usually it's one of the cheaper days

Thanks, will check out round there. Interesting re Fri to Sunday, I discovered that Wednesday was more expensive than Saturday while checking (both hotels and trains), which I hadn't expected... and we can be slightly flexible with dates so that's useful.
