@thebookseller Is the book industry really "divided", or are there a few chancers seeking to make a quick buck from some overhyped and ethically questionable tech, while the rest of us look on in horror?

@MichaelRosenYes Two languages in Benidorm: Spanish and Valencian. I'm sure the Brits there wouldn't mind 😅

Reform do well in some elections and the Government suddenly ramps up the anti-immigrant rhetoric. Coincidence? I think not.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

In the pipeline: retaliatory action from Jonny Foreigner: all Brits have to learn the language of where they migrate to. O dear.

Still time to sign! Demo in Granary Square 1pm today. Meta illegally copied 25 of my publications including 9 books. Also have your publishers write a cease and desist letter to Meta

I'm supporting the @Soc_of_Authors in their day of action against Meta, who have knowingly used the illegally appropriated work of authors to train their AI.

@jimbomorrison @TfL @GarethDennis The Duke of Edinburgh joined Liz in a toilet cubicle at Bar Rumba one Saturday at 2 a.m. Whipping out a bag of white powder, he said, 'Elizabeth, line?'
Unfortunately by the end of the night they were too munted to remember to use punctuation so we ended up with 'Elizabeth line'.
