Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I agree. The big sell from AI is often to make your life easy, but building understanding, structuring your thoughts, is meant to be hard, and that is what changes you. i.e. if the product you care about is you and your brain, do the work.

This is more like it
I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

I’ve been reluctant to start a Substack, because I like being commissioned, I like being edited, and I especially like to be paid.

But I couldn’t face hawking this one around to weary editors, for reasons that you may understand if you read it.

The Bluesky/X relationship feels like if in 1985, when Coca-Cola introduced the new disastrous New Coke, another company had taken over the classic formula while Coca-Cola doubled down on New Coke and kept adding things like piss and cholera
