Facebook keeps showing me AI generated origami instructions, and on every level I should hate this (Facebook, unnecessary AI, click farming etc), but I'm slightly obsessed with them. I really want to post a load here but I'm daunted by the prospect of trying to alt-text these surrealist nightmares.

Substack choosing Bari Weiss's The Free Press as its official partner for a relaunch tells you everything you need to know about the values of Substack's leadership. I'm begging the writers I love to move their newsletters off Substack.

One of the most striking things about living with chronic illness or disability is just how time consuming it is. I don't know if many of the politicians and journalists who talk about "getting disabled people back to work", or who want to change PIP to vouchers, have the faintest idea.
