As I was trying to find my 18th birthday card from William Hague (for a PowerPoint quiz, what else), I found this birthday card from my Granddad. And I think we can all agree - top tier life advice. It's all we can hope for in this world.

My Dad's just redone my parents' bathroom and it looks swish af. My sister and I chime in with helpful comments. Mine was a projector for when we come home for Christmas. My Mum has vetoed it.

If I had a 400 seat majority in the UK parliament I would not use it to do fascism. I would use it to actually help the British people by regaining control of Tomb Raider.

Dad's having a normal one with a new tool he apparently found in the middle of Lidl
The man already has angle grinders and chop saws coming out of his ears so this must be the only thing he doesn't have

Some of his exploits include: nearly being stolen by someone on another street who thought he was a stray, and going into someone's house and trying to steal their cheese toastie. A real one.
The street I live on has lost one of its most famous, friendly cats. The outpouring of grief and support in the WhatsApp group is something else. Poor Rupert. Hope you're sleeping in lots of inappropriate places and clawing people's trousers wherever you are.

This. I am a marketer by trade, unfortunately, but at my core I'm a writer.
It was suggested I run something through ChatGPT today to create a product announcement. I'm not paid to do that, I'm paid to use my expertise to write things myself.
And, weirdly, I LIKE writing. But I do fear for my job.

Again, not to go on about ai but I have a few thoughts.
1. I've genuinely never seen an actual creative get excited about using it. Someone who has actually made something before. Its people from marketing and finance backgrounds getting excited about a false sensation of making something.

Tonight we brought Spring to a close in #MythicBastionland where my brave knights stole/reclaimed a ?magic? crown from some ruins, killed some Yeomen just trying to do their jobs, fed a corpse to some giant crows, and gave the cursed crown to a knight before pushing him off the top of a tower.

Hate those clickbaity articles that are like “12 minutes to an amazing ass!” And it’s always just exercise, and never a google maps location.

We have a few of these sharks. Absolute bastards. Whoever thought they were harmless is the sort of person who'd avoid a paddling pool because they can't swim.
