With the New Year fast approaching, now would be a good time to watch my web series - about one man's journey to being better and running 15K.

Was at a pub quiz the other week. When it came to deciding the funny team name, two of the group immediately went to Chat GPT. A small, fraction of a thing that could have got a discussion going and even created a chuckle, gone. In favour of not giving it another thought. Ugh.
Astonished at the number of creative intelligent discerning people who casually use “I asked Chat GPT” when talking about their daily lives.
AI is bad, the work of bad people, who hate you, normalised with bad intent.
You wouldn’t say “I wrote to the Daily Mail”
I wish people had more shame.

Was reading Simon Rich's Spoiled Brats last night and came across this little gem. Really made me laugh. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

At some point, representatives at world leader level, are going to stop shaking hands with this man. Right? His words and actions are irredeemable and unconscionable
Donald Trump publicly celebrates, while pretending to send condolences, the double homicide of Rob and Michele Reiner. Bizarrely claims that they were murdered by a MAGA supporter due to “the anger he [Rob] caused” with his “obsession with Donald J. Trump.”

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

From 2019-2022, I made several web series charting the career of inept politician, Michael La Vache. A fun, silly project that got me out of a creative funk.
I've started adding them to my blog with thoughts on how they came about. If that sounds interesting, check the thread and links below 👇

I've been sharing a lot of old videos from the other place. In part to motivate me to start making more, but also to try and save them here for posterity. I've been thinking about how to reshare the Michael La Vache videos.

The moment the tech bros came in dicks swinging and screaming about how "we're gonna kill your jobs and you can't do anything about it," WHILE they were actively stealing from us, was the moment I became determined to burn GenAI shit to the ground.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*
