Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

It’s that time of year again when the Gawain-poet’s alliterative mastery of the North-west midlands dialect really comes alive. (Linocut my own - appears in b/w in my book)

Making progress on Operation Get the Cats Using the Cat Flap. Unfortunately, this mostly seems to involve me sitting on the floor directly in front of it with my hands smeared in liver sausage flavour Lick-e-lix, while they peer in from outside with a mixture of bemusement and contempt

Over the weekend, I discovered the Kid’s school has a Doctor Who club, where they get together and discuss different aspects of the show - and I could not possibly be more delighted by this

So much of the press for the new Wicked film is not-so-subtly nodding at & asking the stars about plot points that happen in the second half of the story, and it’s really starting to irritate me. Lots of us have seen the stage musical, but plenty of people haven’t. Stop it.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

a whole crew against one chicken? and the chicken won?
A train crew found a loose chicken on an N train this morning—and couldn’t get it to leave.

Do bear in mind that if you turn this off, it will switch off all the sorting (like automatically shifting stuff into the “Promotions” tab). You might be OK with that, you might not: just know it’ll do it.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
