Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)
Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

Brilliant piece on the casual erasure of of a female artist from a landmark moment in pop culture. And the answer to the question, Why don’t Peter Blake’s other album covers have the power and impact of Sgt. Pepper?
Years ago I wrote this piece about national treasure and dreadful old c**t Peter Blake. Have just dredged it up for my new best friend @typetheclouds.bsky.social who had the good sense to buy my fucking book™ at the Hastings book fair.

Saw Ben Wheatley's new film Bulk last night, made in secret, using obsolete S-VHS cameras, iPhones & VFX made from Airfix kits ordered off the internet. The end credits, hand-drawn by Wheatley, offer instructions on how to do the same at home if you want to. This is the anti-AI art we need.

On BBC Breakfast shortly to talk about the National TV Awards nominations.
Adolescence is up for New Drama, with Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper up for Drama Performance.
Nothing for Erin Doherty, though.

You know that classic Edward Hopper painting evoking isolation and despair? We used AI to make it look terrible for no reason

Oh gosh! An absolute legend and one of my favourite lecturers at Central. How sad. RIP Sally 💔
Sally Mackey — dear friend and colleague for 30+ years. A driving force in Drama Ed and Applied Theatre and one of the architects of Central as a modern HE drama school that trains practitioners, educators and thinkers under one roof. I’ll miss the long calls, the wine, the cookery tips. RIP.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

By the way, I noticed Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves is on BBC iPlayer for the next few months. Lovely little film. Deadpan humour, understated and poignant. I recommend, if you haven’t seen it.
