For what it's worth - I believe that if you use AI to brainstorm ideas for your book, plan chapters, help with structure, edit, create dialogue, make story suggestions or ANY part of the creative writing process you are a hack and a fraud. You are not an author.

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok.
If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

Decided to rewatch The World At War - it’s been a while, and the similarities between “New Germany” and “Make America Great Again” / Farage’s lies and rhetoric, have left me with chills.
Never forget: Where they burn books, they will eventually burn people.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Brits: you are nowhere near frightened enough of what's happening in the US right now and what UK politicians are promising with the help of Palantir and friends. From @ markmcposts on IG.

Heard somebody ask today why the council don’t fix the potholes blighting the area. It’s obvious, really: fixing potholes won’t make massive amounts of money for their friends and family like bulldozing the green belt to build these cardboard houses will 👌

Well, that's another week of having my soul crushed and smashed to a pulp doing a job I despise so much that I pray for the sweet release of early death every night 👌 How was everybody else's week?

🚨Now closing on 90,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.

Keep hearing this same lie repeated, "AI is where it's going...", or "AI is the future...", followed by something being wrong and, "Well ChatGPT said..." 🤦
This is how we fall as a civilisation isn't it? People's knowledge regressing to the point where they can't help or save themselves.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

For me #2026 is going to be a year of #lowtech. I've bought a Nokia 3210 and replaced my eReader TBR with paperbacks. I'm not joining in this mass delusion anymore that tech makes things better - you can fuck your AI, Passkeys, Meta, Twitter, QR Codes, "Go to the app / online" nonsense. I'm Out 👊

We’ve been rewatching some #DoctorWho over our New Year break and really enjoying series 5 again. I’d forgotten just how good Matt Smith is and just how gorgeous Karen Gillan is 😍

What I would expect seeing this headline from a Labour government: Let's see if there's a way we can ease the problems people are having and help them before they enter "the system", or see if there's a route cause.
What we get: We're helping way too many people, how do we cut that?
