Fairly certain we're safe from the prospect of AI turning into Skynet. Tonight, I asked Gemini to come up with suggestions for movies that could work well for a 40th birthday celebration.
Its best option was The 40 Year Old Virgin!

This morning's Audit Wales report on cancer in Wales is troubling. It shows how things simply aren't moving in the right direction, with a lack of clear leadership. As a result, patients are being let down.
Two things really stand out for me... 🧵

So on the one hand, plenty of opportunities for Liverpool to drop points.
On the other, that's a lot of low blocks to face between now and the end of the season

Of Arsenal's remaining nine Premier League away games, six of their opponents are currently in the bottom seven of the table.
Saturday against Brighton & trips to Forest & Anfield are the exceptions.
In contrast, Liverpool have to visit 7 of the current top 10 in their remaining 10 away games.

Nothing says Christmas quite like receiving millions of marketing emails from brands you forgot you ever bought from once a few years ago.

Finally got to see #Wicked this afternoon. Went in with high expectations because of the show and was not disappointed. Some elements of the film were better than the stage show. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were outstanding. Looking forward to part 2.

I've still been checking Twitter since coming over to here. Having shifted to using Twitter through lists only to avoid some of the vitriol, it's gone very quiet on there now.
But still haven't got around to building my feeds here.
Using Bluesky has felt very 2009 so far.

A bit early for me normally but feeling fairly festive after the excellent #Swansea Christmas Parade tonight. Even if we did end up leaving looking like drowned rats!

After 15 years at the old place, I'm getting strong first-day-at-big-school vibes. Especially with being back at zero followers!
