My favourite line when I'm fleshing out plot notes: "More stuff happens..." #amwriting

New on the blog, prompted by Tony Ballantyne's recent blog post on AI and office software.
"No, I don't want MS, or anyone else, trawling unasked through my work to train its 'AI' models to put me out of work..."

Thanks, @Specsavers for a complete waste of a day. Utterly useless.

@tcmccarthy_ Erm... far more likely to be stabbed to death in the US, if that's what you mean? https://t.co/e2M4LqksQe

@CAFCMitch How lovely! I don’t think I’ve aged that well either…

@AskNationwide re their discrimination against deaf people: “Hi, it's Dave. I'll be helping with your complaint and will be in touch soon. You can contact me on... Please don't text back.” So I should… phone them? Perhaps I just need to learn to hear again, like normal people?

[Keith Brooke @keithbrooke]

@AskNationwide I know about the accessibility support you offer, and I have a complaint reference. That doesn't change how offensive your approach is.

[Keith Brooke @keithbrooke]

So the @AskNationwide approach to accessibility for even a very basic request is to tell a disabled person to get someone who's not disabled to deal with it on their behalf? How utterly patronising and offensive.

I do love that I can glance up from my desk and see two marsh harriers quartering the meadow. When I did volunteer work at Minsmere in the 1980s we monitored the harrier nests in the reedbeds because there were only a few breeding in the entire country at the time. #rspb #UKbirds

PARSEC #9 is the first issue of 2024 and judging by the stellar lineup of contributors that Ian Whates has assembled, he's certainly raised the bar. It's going to be a tough act to follow! Here's editor-in-chief with all the info in this week's newsletter: https://t.co/C3loLKGCf6
