I’ve been saying for ages that Gen AI, and one product of that ilk in particular, will eventually eat itself. We just have to beware of becoming the sandwich filling.

Aw. She looks so cute.

I lived in Handsworth weeks after those riots in ‘85. Stuart Maconie is spot on here.

In the back of my own car these days 🤣

True, but we had a tartan rug on ours so that could be avoided. I spent most of those summers in my Grandads mini van though. I had my own comfy cushions. Little Bro was left with the parents so I was sibling free and Princess in my own mobile playhouse 😊🤣

The News Huddlines. It’s Saturday morning. The car is freezing and we’re waiting in the street outside the house where my brother is having a violin lesson.

It's an important thing to remember that Reform in Nottinghamshire have not just banned the Nottingham Post from engaging with them, but the LDRs: the Local Democracy Reporters who provide local political stories to a wide range of local outlets, including the BBC.

BBC 4 sending out some corkers tonight. Not played but I’ve always felt that this one from Sam Brown is underrated. It holds so many memories for me but I think I made the right decision 😉

I resat what I needed to, did some extra exams on top and went to Poly a year later. Enjoyed my time there and had some decent jobs since. I hope Steve did OK and realised his dreams too.

Yep. Totally getting those vibes. Me and Steve were in the same shoes.

I misread that acronym as ‘stink’. I’ve been to a certain optician business, so it must be my age.

The Great British fear factory: manufacturing a lawless London Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making us safer – it’s about manufacturing fear for political gain

Crime is roughly half what it was in the 90s. Britain is still one of the safest countries in the developed world.

So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape? The Bear provides the answer ⤵️

Had some excellent news from a smartly dressed lady at a register office last week, which is that I'm now married. Shortly afterwards, also excitingly, though a bit less so, these paperbacks arrived of three of my back-from the-dead books. 1983 out August 14th. Villager & Help The Witch Sept 11th.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

My Bebo: A Memory of Tim Pollard, by his daughter, Scarlett - The Beestonian To many, many people he was Robin Hood. To his friends, Tim. But to me he was, and will always be ‘Bebo’. Oh, apart from one day when we were making Mother’s Day cards at school. My mummy died when I ...

Today, the wonderful Tim Pollard, aka Nottingham's official Robin Hood, was buried after he died earlier this month.

His daughter, Scarlett, 11, wrote this for @thebeestonian.bsky.social, and it is brave beyond words.

Farewell, Ozzy, you daft lad. I can't help but think your greatest achievement was becoming Britain's least likely national treasure.
Altogether now...

The Mysterious Lights of Golden Ball Hill Weird Wiltshire published a post on Ko-fi

The Lights of Golden Ball Hill in North Wiltshire float and flicker through the fields.
Are they behind the hill’s name or is science to blame?
And what is their connection with crop circles and the haunted Rudloe Manor (aka Britain’s Area 51). 🟡🌾👻

Boxing things up for a bit of a move and looking for one specific album as I go. This one isn’t it, but oh how I love it and the memories.

Add another fee to that to download the ticket(s), just in case you want to print them with your own ink and paper.

The ones I see are usually bounding or lolloping, swinging a large seductive backside as they go down the side of a particular Scottish Borders lane.

So in 4 days we’ve gone from sweltering heat (37c) and zero breeze to (right now) 16c and 21mph wind rattling round inside the chimney breast 🙄
