No she’s not.

End of September, start of October. This is fine, etc,

Is Starbucks a morally upright company? No. But, to be fair, is the coffee nice? Also absolutely no.

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

Ben Wishaw can act like he's a talking fucking bear from Peru doesn't mean he is one.

Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study. The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. https://scim.ag/4hHU6BA

I hate it when I get 1 really warm leg #scd #strictly

bit awkward that we waited a whole year for, well, that #strictly

There’s just no way anyone called Graham will ever be good on #Strictly. (Sorry to the people I know called Graham, but it’s now on you to prove me wrong)

Reading Ghost Cities by Siang Lu and enjoying it a lot. Definite echoes of Borges and Calvino (and certainly one for fans of those), especially in the more farcical, ludicrous behaviours of the two “Emperors”.

This remains my finest work

The Josh/Motsi dynamic is turning hostile, ouch. #Strictly

Instantly love Tabby too #strictly

This samba is… good? they don’t often get the hips, like, ever, never mind week 1 #strictly

Jojo’s outfit just won #Strictly, we can end the series now.

It’s really striking the extent to which you can divide opinion columnists into two camps, (one tiny, one huge) with the question: do you want people to thrive and flourish, or simply behave in a way you approve of?

Janice Turner has no background or training in medicine, neuroscience, psychology or psychiatry.

The joy of hammering the buttons to get the characters saying their lines quicker contrasted with suddenly having to do something on a new level and not sure what that thing is.

So it’s free and possibly a bit shit but you shouldn’t complain? I am unconvinced anyone at Lloyds understands common idioms.

It's really nice to see a game with a singular vision and just nail the execution. Everything from the gameplay to the title, bang on job. Yep. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOaw...

Some unintended consequences I suspect the rise of AI agents will create: 1. Restaurants that only take reservations by hand written letter, or more likely, don't take them at all. 2. Gigs where you can only buy tickets in person. 3. Businesses that operate without websites.

The movie ROPE came out on this day in 1948, and newspapers really struggled with how to explain that the main characters were, you know,

Inspired by Mitxela's latest project, I added a FLIP fluid sim pattern to this little motion sensitive Fibonacci256, using code adapted from Ten Minute Physics: matthias-research.github.io/pages

So, stepping briefly into the unlikely role of wizened elder, I encourage you: Find your iced coffee. Find the thing that lets you be human that you refuse to give up. Let that be THEIR test to pass or fail, not yours. Find a place to work that you don't have to COMPLETELY pretend in.

really learning how many people out there have never worked in the arts, where not only are we all drinking coffee all day but it is just assumed the executive director keeps a bottle of desk whiskey

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

I love these random-vignettes-of-life bots because they give you a hefty dose of reality check. Look at all these other millions of far away people, living lives totally disconnected from yours! Nothing you do will ever affect or matter to them in any way! And that's fine! Chill out, slow down.

Be serious. Bert and Ernie are not “in love.” Maybe they used to be, once

Remedy I love you but L1 as the primary interact button? who hurt you? (it’s fine, all the controls are customisable, but also: *choices were made*)

Mugs! Big mugs! The last time I made these they were 600g of clay and these are 500g for the same size so I am at least 20% better as a potter than I was a year and a half ago. Although I still suck at handles. #pottery

Its What3Words accounts filing day! They're doing so great. Nothing to worry about. I'm sure "the launch of our advertising revenue stream" will offset the "lost major Enterprise customer". Ads are really profitable now, right? find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/0843...
