Accidentally walked into a cupboard. It’s bigger on the inside. WHERE ARE WE? Send help! @markayresrws.bsky.social

Yep. Dun this. One of the best Doctor Who stories ever. I love Malc’s music.

🔥 NUJ backs call for AI ethics guidelines... ...as fears grow over job cuts, plagiarism, and newsroom pressure driven by artificial intelligence.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

Thrilled to reveal the cover for #DoctorWho The Collection Season 13! We're back again, giving our beloved show the love it deserves! (10 points to the first person who spots what the background to this one is).

The last post from our local @royalmail.bsky.social post box is at... 9am. Ridiculous.

With Doctor Who legends Dick Mills and Mark @markayresrws.bsky.social Ayres. Together with our respective better halves, our annual (or thereabouts) Doctor Who alumni meal was a joy from start to finish.

I’m on my way to the @ivorsacademy.bsky.social Ivor Novello Awards in London, genuinely the biggest song contest in the world. Guess which earworm has been stuck in my head all morning? Dugga Doo from Doctor Who that’s what. Thanks, Murray. ;)

Reminder that the UK’s House of Lords has twice proposed legislation that would make AI companies disclose their training data, and the Labour government has twice rejected it. Can't think why www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

Brilliant speech. But... 😥

Just when you think the BBC might learn to avoid own goals, they put the ball straight back in the net.

Great, troubling scoop. The point of a public service broadcaster is that it’s NOT personalised, IMV.

Ooh…

The UK leads the world in both the creative and tech industries, but innovation must not come at the expense of those whose work powers AI models. Licensing creative content for AI is a huge economic opportunity, yet weakening copyright would undermine creators and stall growth.

Today is the last chance to have your say in the government's consultation on copyright and AI: a decision that could reshape the rights of UK songwriters, composers and creative professionals. Submit your response now. 🔗 Our guide with suggested responses👇 ivorsacademy.com/wp-content/u...

The UK’s world-leading copyright laws are under threat. That’s why The Ivors Academy stands with the Creative Rights in AI Coalition and the Make It Fair campaign, calling for transparency and fair compensation for creators.

I’m one of 1,000+ artists who are jointly releasing this album today to protest the UK government’s planned changes to copyright law, which would hand the life’s work of the UK's musicians to #AI companies for free. Don’t legalise music theft! #IsThisWhatWeWant? isthiswhatwewant.com

Superb, and timely...
