Hello 👋🏻 new followers.
I’m mostly about music, gigs, film, tv, art, craft, photography, travel, London, Europe, languages, and cats. This time it’s definitely going to be more cats than politics.
Tonight’s tv viewing. A BBC4 documentary about moss.
No, really. 🤓

I don’t know the artist, but presumably this is aimed at kids. Fair play for writing a banger about roadworks.

The EU are removing their de minimis threshold next year. So that will be the EU added to the growing list of places that I can’t sell to.
As a small business it’s getting harder and harder to keep going.
Fuck brexit and all who sail in her. 🤬

Dangerous socialist or hitting one of the biggest problems with modern economies, that life is just getting too hard for small businesses and that saps energy from the market? Feels like EU and UK policy makers should be taking notice rather than the same old tired talk.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

Some changes that they can look forward to:

My latest read: ‘Wifedom’ by Anna Funder. This is about the life of Eileen O’Shaugnessy, aka Mrs Eileen Maud Blair, aka Mrs George Orwell.
I like that we are now seeking to make visible the many unsung brilliant women behind the famous men. More of this, please. ✊🏻

Listening to this week’s episode of @pilottvpod.bsky.social
and I’m very amused to learn that House was heavily inspired by Sherlock Holmes. I watched every episode of that show back in the day - and it never occurred to me! 🙈

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

It’s also happening with sewing and knitting patterns.
Please. Make the AI slop stop. 💩
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.
