Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

Stephen Colbert last night had Sydney Sweeney and Patti Smith on the show (on YouTube if you want to watch). Sadly not both at the same time. But yeah, compare and contrast...

This is an internal quadrangle, no vehicle access, yet people need to be told how to walk in a straight line? I suspect this is "H&S gone mad" because of the slight gully on left, maybe someone twisted their ankle in it, or walked into a column on the right or down the steps onto the grass...

Just watched ep 1 of Edge of Darkness. After 25 minutes I didn't think I could manage it, emotionally, but pushed through that and now I can't not watch it. Not binging it though, will savour it over a few weeks. So good.
