I'm not very good with social media, but at least I'm trying.
I just saw the trailer for the Deus Ex remaster and went from "OMG are they really remaking it!?" to "What. Is. That?" in two seconds flat. I wanted orange, not lemon-lime.

So the UK has a petition website which, if a petition gets 100,000 signatures, the Government has to officially respond to it.
And over the years it's become clear that - especially if the topic is absolutely vital - the response will ALWAYS be
"No, and for the most evil reasons".

I realised I wasn't reading as much as I used to, so I decided not to do any reading challenges this year. I'm starting to enjoy losing myself in a book again. I guess it was just one too many metrics for me. ##BookSky

Designers say plans for UK copyright law risk ‘running roughshod’ over sector
Leading figures including Tom Dixon and Sebastian Conran add voices to criticism of government’s AI opt-out proposal
A proposed overhaul of copyright law risks “running roughshod” over a British design industry that has created such memorable products as the red phone box, the London underground map and the iPhone, according to a group of leading UK designers.
In a letter to the technology secretary, Peter Kyle, 35 UK-based designers have urged the government to change cours on its plans to let artificial intelligence (AI) companies train their models on copyrighted work without permission.

My favourite clickbait headline of the night "ITV Martin Lewis falls to the floor on air moments before show ends after sudden illness"
Translation: I said I had lurgy and a sore throat at end of the show I joked I needed a lie down and did so on the floor.
