Exactly 1 year since this book launched, I'm heading to the world's #storytelling capital, Marrakech, for the 3rd World Storytelling Festival, hosted by the globe-uniting force that is @WorldStorytell2.

These events are not causally linked, just beautifully serendipitous. $;-)

[Amy Scott Robinson @Ameandme]

And here we are, launching All The Better To Read You With, with a ripping talk from @creatorchip @EpicTalesST

@RestIsPolitics Given the controversy surrounding his #ReithLectures, NOW will you consider my persivilient* requests to get @rcbregman on Leading?

*Sure this is at least the fourth time of asking, if not the fifth.

@russell_kane How could you record an #EvilAnimals about #cats with two guests called Jess and not include Postman Pat's black and white cat in your roll call of feline pop culture icons?

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

Anyone know why @PrimeVideo Music has changed the lyrics of @lindsaylohan's 'Ultimate' song? I can't work out why the line "I wanna do to you what you do to me" could be offensive...?

@russell_kane As you're in Huntingdon soon, wanna nip next door to the only surviving home of Sam Pepys to scope out a possible venue for a first 'on location' Evil Genius? As custodial tenants, my wife'n'I'd be happy to welcome you!

(And no expectation he'd be voted Genius...)

Happy Paperback Publication day @BexHogan - the beautiful #Nettle is out today! If you haven't already, be sure to read this utterly enchanting fae story before its sequel, #OwlKing, hits the shelves this autumn!

Asked @ChatGPTapp what it thought my job is, based on everything I've asked it to help with.

"Some kind of renaissance freelancer whose job description is just ‘Yes.’"

Not far off, I guess. But I need to do better at wearing a job desc of 'Probably yes, but occasionally no.'...

@elliesalkeld99 @erandalljones This is who I was gonna suggest! Every kid knows Sonic. $;-)

We began a new schools project this week, in partnership with St Peter Mancroft Church in Norwich. It’s exciting for multiple reasons, but it’s had some unpredictable impact that I’m not sure I could share anywhere but on my own blog...

Just been told by X I need to post more often to convince it I'm human ('coz of course AI *never* posts on X...), so here's the latest saga from the #PepysShow...

@RoryStewartUK Hearing you tell @campbellclaret how ChatGPT's behaved oddly lately, I think it might be my fault...

I gave it some writing to summarise, but it originated content instead. My writing seemed to 'inspire' it into autonomous creativity...

It was sheer euphorgasmia, transformative to experience, high energy cynical optimism. Shows like this and people like Russell leave you feeling like your next day will be wasted if you're not running through streets in your jimjams yelling about how delicious your toothpaste is.

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

Saw @russell_kane at @MKTheatre off the back of @BBCRadio4's Evil Genius. He may think he's generous, always letting guests mention their tours but never doing so for himself.

But he ain't, 'coz the biggest gift he could give his listeners would be urging them to see his show...

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

@Sally_writes @Microsoft For added context: the family plan was about to go up to £12pm. Suggesting I had no choice but to pay extra for a service I have no need for, let alone interest in using... Shame on you, @Microsoft.

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

@Sally_writes Li'l update for ya. Did this as you suggested, went from Family plan of £8pm to individual of £6pm. Then received another email from @Microsoft with a price rise to £9pm – so had to use your trick again to keep it at £6pm w/out AI.

Grr for peeps pushing AI on us... $>:-(

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

@Sally_writes Ah, I was trying to figure how to do this! Thank you...!

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

Thanks to all who came to Sam's 392nd birthday party this week – including @itvanglia! We loved your colourful new wig designs and clothing suggestions for Sam & Liz – my brother's especially pleased to see Sam in an @Arsenal shirt...

See you for Liz's birthday in Oct maybe?

[Rebecca Colby @amscribbler]

Before I was ever published, I dreamt of @korkypaul illustrating one of my books. Thanks to @creatorchip that dream has come true! This month KING LEOPOLD'S NEW SIGNS comes out as a story in Chip and Korky's Fables and Fairy Tales series. https://t.co/1N3wRrURye

#BloodyHellKen! 4th keyring to resign from its position as holder to my keys in the past year. Is my key as cursed as the one from #BatterseaPoltergeist?

#UncannyCommunity

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

@Sally_writes Ah thank you, I was looking for how to do this. Very sneaky of them to require you to cancel the AI first...

[Storyteller Chip @creatorchip]

Now THIS is uncanny: 2min after @e_sutcliffe reminds me Uncanny is back on our screens tonight, & a friend I introduced to the show messages to ask if I knew it's on @BBCTwo tonight...

Then I come here, & @danny_robins' is the 1st post I see!

Clearly I'm destined to watch...

[Danny Robins @danny_robins]

THE WAIT IS NEARLY OVER!! #UNCANNY SEASON 2 STARTS TONIGHT AT 9PM ON @BBCTwo and @BBCiPlayer 😱👻😱👻😱

Case 1: The Haunting of Hollymount Farm will be spookily lighting up your screens in a matter of hours #UncannyCommunity... Are you ready??? 😱
