“STOP WITH THE AI CARICATURES!!! PLEASE!
It’s not funny, it’s not a joke, AI steals from artists to then churn out these god awful things…
.. Just support the ARTS, it’s just as important as anything else.
Art is work.” #MarcJackson

Well said that man 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻

Haha! Ok 👍🏽
When I wrap up #WonderMan I’ll dip into it. Bit obsessed with #TrevorSlattery I have been since Iron Man ? 😜

About 1,000 endangered sea turtles were rescued in Florida after extreme winter weather left them cold-stunned.

This massive rescue effort shows what’s possible when communities act quickly to protect ocean wildlife.

Really ?
I am surprised.
With such an outstanding moral compass too 🤷🏽‍♀️

So is that a recommendation? 😜

A study of Korean drama consumption in the UK Made with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

Hey UK friends - it would really help me out in my day job if you could take this anonymous survey. Even if you don’t watch Korean drama, that’s still really useful data for us!

Did a rare repeat cinema visit to see Black Phone 2 a second time, because my daughter is home from uni for half-term and she’s a fellow horror nut. Still an absolute blast.
