Small boats narrative has cooked people's brains.
It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…
I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

DENMARK HAVE FAILED TO BEAT BELARUS AT HOME!
IF SCOTLAND BEAT DENMARK AT HAMPDEN ON TUESDAY, IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME SCOTLAND HAVE SECURED QUALIFICATION TO A MAJOR TOURNAMENT IN FRONT OF FANS SINCE 1989!
It's only happened at Hampden three times in history!

The Tankard, near the Imperial War Museum. Was a brewdog until recently reopening with new owners. The pub is massive and the roof terrace is great in the summer. I also noted that they do free gravy and Yorkshire pudding refills if you have a Sunday roast there.

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down
