Running up hills, watching rugby and cricket, gigs, music, brogues, food, books, 70s & 80s music culture. Talking drivel about all of the above.

All 5 gigs combined cost less than it cost my mate to see a band at the FD arena. I know where I’d rather be. Photos by @JazOldham

[Justin Oldham @JustinOldham10]

Had a great time doing 5 gigs in 10 days. @brookecombe @tomasmithmusic Olive Jones, @frankturner @JimJAllStars. All brilliant at superb venues @wardrobeleeds @Nath_Brudenell @ParishHudd @thekeyclubleeds
These venues are so good and a proper live, up close experience.

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

WORTH REPEATING:

Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M.

Minnesota has 130,000.

Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration.

It never was.

Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and it’s impeachable.

Strange to see western leaders moralizing about the importance of the rule of law after a 2 year live streamed genocide they enabled.

The slaughter continues.

Killing more than 350 Palestinians isn't Israel observing a ceasefire.

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

The genocide continues and not a single person has been held accountable for it.

What a disgraceful stain on our collective conscience.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Ms @pritipatel, Netanyahu is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. It’s your duty to have him arrested, not to pose for selfies like a star-struck teenager.

@stonefoundation @Nath_Brudenell Great to see you again. You were on top form. Loved it.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Adopted children and kinship children are amongst the most vulnerable in society - with complex needs that can last a lifetime. It’s an absolute outrage that the Labour Government has made cuts to already minimal provision - leaving adopters & family isolated & struggling.

[ASGSF_protest @ASGSF_Protest]

All children have the right to thrive, no matter their start in life.

Governments cuts to a lifeline fund have had a devastating impact on some of the most vulnerable children and young adults in England.

Join us and Anna Maxwell Martin in calling for the government to reverse all cuts made to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund.

We are still waiting for a date to meet with The Minister for Children and Families, @JoshMacAlister

We have a date to meet with the @educationgovuk (DfE) team managing the ASGSF.

In the meantime we have written this open letter, link below:

https://t.co/qtH3UmBNFA

Please sign our open letter to Josh MacAlister, share this post and encourage others to sign and share.

Parliament is back in session tomorrow, 13th October, let’s remind the government we aren’t going anywhere.

We are stronger together.
The government must listen.
