Meet Nia, my new main character.
The name is the Welsh version of the Old Irish name Niamh, meaning “bright”.
She's going to need that brightness in the dark.

The cancer is growing every day. Give Ukraine all the weapons it needs!!! Taurus, Tomahawks. Close its sky. Same daily thing. Half a million deaths later, nothing has changed since Feb 22. Or 2014.
MORE: Russian forces also recently advanced near Hulyaipole and in the Dobropillya tactical area.
The Kremlin continues to publicly and clearly reiterate its maximalist demands and unwillingness to engage in negotiations that result in anything less than full Ukrainian capitulation. 🧵(1/3)

Sometimes I feel guilty watching FBI on Prime, sometimes not. Being not criminal enough myself, it gives me a taste of what one of the core 3 pillars of Democracy – Justice –means.

Claude Francis Barry’s paintings of WW1 are amongst the most accomplished of his works, with his images of searchlights across London being the most evocative - here (1918) he used small concentrated dots of colour to create an atmospheric haze of light.

'New York at Night.' (c1912) Charles Hoffbauer's paintings of New York were inspired after seeing photographs of the city in a bookshop window on the Corso in Rome a year before this work was painted. He became an American citizen in 1939.

Google Books was closed this way. Come on, it’s possible! Copyright lawsuits from everywhere. Death By Thousand Cuts. 👊
Despite the headline it’s not George RR Martin personally going for them cos he’s rich and famous. It’s all of us.
The test case used his work, but it’s about the plain-as-day issue that ANY generative AI ignores and infringes copyright, by passing off.
That’s a win for basic law.
