We lost a real one today. Diane Keaton was a hero of mine, or at least what she represented to me. She had a huge influence on me in many ways and I have been a great admirer of her work and her life choices. Something I wrote about her a few years back. RIP Diane. meganeaves.com/2017/03/15/u...

Full house this evening at the Book Elephant in South London to heart @shafikmeghji.bsky.social discussing his brilliant new book, Small Earthquakes, on lost British histories in South America. A wonderful travel memoir and rich history.

Sorry, a professor of management. Still.

Sitting in a journalism conference on AI. Was hoping to hear critical evaluation (yknow, journalistic enquiry) of AI. Instead, I'm listening to a 'professor' of journalism justify how he used ChatGPT to write an article in the journal Nature due to English being his second language. We are cooked.

Thank god you didn't 😂😂😂

POV: You are an editor who has to do a search-all of ". " because there are still people who double-space after a full stop as if they are living in the typewriter era. Do you hear me? If you are doing double spaces after a full stop, you are living in the 1950s. GET IN THE SEA.

Happy #InternationalAstronomyDay! It is not just incredible that we can marvel of the cosmos but we can also understand it 🤩

And the night sky with all its wonders is becoming endangered, we can see a lot less stars than when we were born as we explore in Starless:

The amount of wilful ignorance on China in western media is genuinely baffling.

Travel writing cliche pet peeve of the day: "the xyz you've never heard of". This makes me so ragey. Who are you to tell me what I have or haven't heard of? Get lost! 😂
