[lostpenguin @lostpenguin]

@singlecrow *hugs*

@CouldBeADragon Well someone is being fucking ignorant in that interaction and it sure as hell isn't you. So sorry you have to deal with this. *hugs*

[lostpenguin @lostpenguin]

@usuallyhats Aww no. I discovered the other day that one of my younger colleagues (he's nineteen) was born the year I passed my driving test. I'm utterly unbothered about turning 40 next year, but somehow that info has done a number on me.

@IndiaRGrant Good luck on your new adventure!

@RichPreston To add to the confusion, there's a small village in Ayrshire (near where I grew up) called Moscow that was definitely pronounced Mos-skow, folks from there were really firm about that.

Metres away from where people were celebrating the Coronation in Cardiff Castle, hundreds of people gathered to protest

Chants of 'not my King' drowned out cheers from the castle

There is nothing virtuous or ethical about showing easily indentifiable dead children and adults, whose families might not yet know they are dead. It’s deeply unethical - it strips victims and their families of privacy and dignity in death. It serves only Musk’s click farm

@morbid_sparks Thinking of you and sending hugs.

[lostpenguin @lostpenguin]

@sophiasgaler That sounds substantially tastier, to be honest.

Interesting thread in the current climate, the struggles of the real folks behind the curtain of AI and 'the algorithm'.

[Billy Perrigo @billyperrigo]

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi.

These AI workers are invisible, underpaid, and the backbone of the tech in all our pockets:

@singlecrow Also not much use as reading material FOR you, but hopefully of some little comfort when otherwise fighting your own brain. I absolutely comfort read your novellas when my heads full of noise so I just want to remind you that I'm glad you're alive.

[lostpenguin @lostpenguin]

@singlecrow Temeraire was my comfort read of choice when I was ill, I read all 9 of the books in short succession (they get a bit samey in the middle of the series but that was a bonus with anxiety) but I still comfort re-read the 1st one. Also Good Omens.

@morbid_sparks sending you big hugs
