The BBC should be reporting on the Epstein files not Donald McRonald's phoney law suit, the man has said far worse things than any BBC edit.

I have made a colossal mistake.

I hung my damp dress over this radiator to dry and some of the nylon has melted onto the plastic cover. It looks like I’ve drawn all over it with crayon. Any idea how to get melted plastic off plastic?
Aah, I’m so stupid.

In addition to this, I learned from a friend who works in Ai for a global corporation that everyone has heard of, that women aren't using Ai as much as men so Ai is getting further skewed by male data input while women are getting screwed in real life situations like job recruitment.
Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

I hope Trump’s presidency ends how it started with millions of women marching in protest against him.
Today, Democrats have uncovered more damning Epstein + Maxwell correspondence on Trump.

“The dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him...” — Epstein to Ghislaine

Trump was clearly implicated in Epstein's crimes.

Denying it is delusion.

I’m so glad we are letting our economy be run by journalists.

I just got an email from an American company that used the word "Hometending" instead of tidying. bleugh.

If you are planning to play Charades this year with your family or friends may I recommend Faust as a cultural work to put in the hat. Someone did it a few years ago at a party and my brother almost turned purple with frustration that we were just not getting it.

Other friend: nice shoes, they’d kick the eye off a spider…

I called out another woman’s name while making love to my wife. Neither of us had heard of her.

“Mrs Agnes Bishop!"

We googled her afterwards. Turns out she was the first woman to head the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg.

I hope they haven't popped the champagne corks at COP just yet. I'd say the results show an occasional plateauing at best but all emissions have risen drastically over the last 8 years.

The triage wait time outside, OUTSIDE! A&E at St. Thomas’s Hospital was 2hrs, that’s just to begin the process of seeing a medical professional. Apart from a lady in a volunteer bib no one from the hospital came to talk to any of us. Man near me vomming on floor and no one came to clean it up.

The window of the Louvre robbery has now become a tourist attraction must be nice for Lisa Gherardini to have a bit of competition.

A reminder that 91% of over 872,000 people who completed the BBC’s survey about their programming said that they want an independent BBC. The BBC has added “government of the day” to the result which does change the meaning somewhat.

I just hit a curb while cycling through the park and flew over the handlebars and landed on my face in a pile of leaves. I’m very sorry not to have been able to witness my own downfall. nothing broken thank god. That’s one of my nine lives gone.

I couldn’t justify spending £7.50 on a candle especially as I wanted the whole box, so I had to make do with this photo.
Seen in the Courtauld Shop if anyone needs candles or Christmas presents, dare I mention it.

One of the things I appreciate most about living in Norfolk is the fact that it induces a near-constant state of bewilderment. 1/3

Oh my god. Donald Trump has organised a wresting championship at the White House for his 80th birthday.

I just managed to get my neighbour's builders to take away some fly-tipped rubbish that has been shunted around our street for the last 6 months. I am so happy, I wish the council just do a fly-tip sweep once a month instead of waiting to be asked.

A global failing of governance.
Given the Mamdani discourse, I wrote a bit about billionaires. If you were given $100 a day and aimed to have as much wealth as the world’s billionaires, you’d have had to have started about when animals first developed the ability to breathe oxygen.

I am not a criminal so I have only just learned what fencing means when not in the garden or en garde sense. In this month’s Art Market Eye Georgina Adam explores the criminal avenues open to the Louvre robbers. Read all about it in The Art Newspaper and TheArtIllustrator.com
