Hello, I’m Tamsin. I’ve brought a bottle, some fairy lights and a hula hoop. Hoping there’s still a friendly person on the door, some tasty nibbles, interesting conversations, a few laughs and at least a couple of cats.

Jo also spent a day being Paolozzi’s PA, but I think that was more than enough for both of them 😁. Welcome PSSA, mum would be very glad to see your presence continuing in this crazy world.

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

I think it is right for me to mention that I have a YouTube channel, where I put episodes of a (silly) weekly series and this year shall be putting all manner of other stuff. I’ve wrestled with it, and I do think it’s right. So there we are.

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.
We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.
Joy is my favorite weapon.

In a world where podcasts increasingly rule the airwaves, Short Cuts is a regular, important reminder of how excellent radio broadcasts can be. Please give it a listen and consider adding your name to this petition. If it worked for 6 Music…🤞🏻
