Writer, artist and mushroom-botherer. Nature and travel are my besties.
The very first professional, non-musical play I ever saw in London was Tom Stoppard's "Jumpers" back in 2003. I picked it based on the gorgeous poster, knowing nothing about the play itself, but it started a passionate lifelong love of theatre for me. RIP to Tom Stoppard, truly one of the greats.

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

This is so beyond heartbreaking 💔
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

It's not just about the broken trust between writer and reader, or all the time, energy and unfounded faith invested by booksellers, but it's also about the important stories still unheard of those living with illness and homelessness that could have been elevated by the industry instead.
I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social

So...that's a straight up lie isn't it? One is a centuries deep industry with proven economic results, returning pounds to the economy per penny invested
One is wholly unproven, and is visibly a bubble. It's embarrassing to see governments fall for this stuff.
