I would love to attend some version of this in the US about what home protection folklore practices came across the pond with my ancestors.

My book editor is currently reading the manuscript and I'm gearing up for a first round of feedback soon. So far she's used the words 'relishing'! and 'atmosphere'! Seems pretty good doesn't it! This part is AWFUL. Nerve-wracking. Awaiting the red pen! Here, have a photo of Jem Smith, it's Friday.

A delightfully muscular white male boxer in his early 20s poses shirtless with fists raised for a studio photo taken around 1885. His absurdly large thighs and...uh... general bit in between... are clothed, very very flatteringly, in white flannel tights.

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

So, I asked "it" one of the suggested questions, and to my horror, it provided an answer that comes almost verbatim from a talk that I give about THE FACEMAKER. Note: I do not allow recording of this talk because I share photos of the disfigured soldiers in it. I am mortified by this.

How disappointing to see one of the biggest history podcasts asking for editors to have experience using AI picture and voice generators. History media is impacted enough by slop and nonsense, and many talented artists, writers, filmmakers and designers put out of work. Awful.

In March 1626 (exactly 400 years ago!) Sir Francis Bacon decided to try to prove a point to a friend about refrigeration. It would end up being a very bad decision… #londonghosts #ghoststory #highgate #beastlyhistory www.instagram.com/reels/DVrAAh...
