Israel plans to take over Gaza City. Starmer says their plan is wrong & they must rethink it, but the UK is still supporting Israel with arms sales, training, RAF surveillance flights & more. Sign the petition: tell Keir he MUST end this support: 38d.gs/hwpb?utm_cam...

2025 is the year I start giving up on books that aren't worth my time rather than sticking it out, starting with this inexplicably popular urban fantasy novel. Begone!

Still getting used to posting on BlueSky with any degree of regularity but here is Tony Bell's brilliant performance of my @liarsleague.bsky.social story about alchemy and some slightly more 'base' things. I am really proud of how this one turned out!

I still have to go on Twitter/X for work and I absolutely despise it. Just immediately get hit with a load of far-right crap every time.

Used ChatGPT today to transcribe text from an image of an archive article. Although superficially great, it has just randomly changed wording or rewritten sentences entirely in places, in two instances totally inverting the meaning. Do people understand how fallible this software is?
