not once, plagiarism machines stole everything from human creatives so in no way will I use them to encourage them, turn off as many AI features as I can when I notice them (or are told about them)

Fuck LLMs that have stolen their information
Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋

(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)
Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

The @backerkit.com Holiday Market launches in 10 days and to say we're excited is a massive understatement!!!

There'll be another chance to buy magnets featuring my Cell Paintings. Making these sparked my curiosity and led me to train to be a Scientist!

Pigeon and rook, Urban Shadows series, are still available. Lovely small original artworks, signed by myself, and an affordable small artwork.

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

Follow Coates for this and other entertaining (though not always poet and wombat related) anniversaries.
It’s 6 November, and you know what that means, don’t you? YES, THAT’S RIGHT. It’s the 156th anniversary of the death of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s pet wombat

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Charisma.
Not rocket science, a dirty word, or a fart at a genteel dinner party. A vessel in which less base ideals can be communicated to the heart. Present at every piece of progress ever made by society. Politics, like all human drama, is laden with theory, but realised in the heart and gut.
This isn't the only takeaway of Mamdani's victory, but it is the most important one www.ft.com/content/92bf...
