Bad cello, wretched cooking, many things.

@JeremRB01 It’s got no idea in it. Beethoven would take a musical idea and work it through over the whole piece. This is just harmonic changes with scales.

[Felicity Carter @FelicityCarter]

@Presbypianist It’s just lots of chord changes without a unifying idea.

Chateau GPT: The wine writing AI scandal has made it into Private Eye!

[VINIMARK - The Wine Company @VinimarkWine]

@FelicityCarter pokes a hornet nest in her latest newsletter on the role of AI in Wine Writing.
How much AI is too much AI when it comes to wine writing?
And will we apply the same framework when it comes winemaking competitions, too?

@GLoncharnock What, so you’re an Australian, just not one of the shameful ones?

Do GLP-1 drugs work by inhibiting appetite or by prioritizing fat oxidation over storage--changing metabolic fuel partitioning, in the lingo?

Most researchers (and X influencers) will insist it's the former, but they'll do so because they don't think deeply about the alternative.

Maybe the new paper by Friedman & Lund will help. 🤞

@cjsnowdon What's that screenshot from?

Shocking to read an article on CNN where claims comparing alcohol to cigarettes have no scientific backing - sad that @CNN does not check their facts and quotes people with major conflicts of interest without declaring them Check out this article: https://t.co/5tHPofC2XD

@TomChivers @thomasforth @Psythor I'd be interested in hearing the answer to this, too.

[Felicity Carter @FelicityCarter]

@15chivalry Thank you so much! You can contact me at felicity at drinksinsider dot com and tell me how to contact you.

Wine journalist Felicity Carter is trying to conduct a survey of how GLP-1 use affects alcohol consumption.

If you are taking GLP-1, please take a look at this survey.

(I have nothing to do with it, but I look forward to the results.)

@cjsnowdon "Gendered colour." I wish the temperance people would learn something about alcohol. "Pink" Prosecco simply means the winemaking process included Pinot Noir, a red grape. Rosé winemaking has a long and honourable history.

[Felicity Carter @FelicityCarter]

@wblakegray How appalling. Alas, it doesn't surprise me. If you see a doctor in Australia, the top of the form will have questions about exactly how much alcohol you "use". I always write, "50 a day when judging".

@amwilson_opera Maybe Joachim Fest's memoir Ich nicht? ("Not I" in the English translation.) It's less about art as joyous awakening and more about how his family used art as a shield against Nazi indoctrination.

[Felicity Carter @FelicityCarter]

@cjsnowdon There are so many logical fallacies in this paper, it's hard to know where to start. They seem to think that marketing is a magic demand creation tool, where consumers have no say.

[Felicity Carter @FelicityCarter]

@derJamesJackson Very German. I'm surprised she was that lavish.
