Fun times, innit? #theimmortalists

I know there are many my age who have already reached this milestone, but wow the day a good friend’s son gets into your alma mater and you know it’s a perfect fit. #obiesFTW #generationoberlin #mightyyeopeople

(Meanwhile, new newsletter! First proper post is up: messy-humans.ghost.io/the-death-of... )

i have 10s of 000s of followers on X, organically grown from 2007. Having no Social Media Strategy was possible then. Just discovered TinyLetter closed 2 yrs ago, no interest in TikTok. I'm trying to ethically re-build, but somehow I've neglected the internet while simultaneously reporting on it.

Methinks Elon’s tweaked Grok’s algorithm a little too far. Go on, search “Elon grok” in the search bar.

The Immortalists has been called “One Of The Greatest Books of 2025” by @telegraph.co.uk! I am so darn chuffed. Get a copy for the Immortalists in your life, or anyone curious about what Silicon Valley’s billionaires plan to do with all their extra years www.telegraph.co.uk/books/author...

Lovely compare and contrast. Choose your own AI! clocks.brianmoore.com #artificialhuman

I would like to be surprised, but the only thing that shocks me is that what I wrote in #theimmortalists has already come true (out now in the UK & US in March)

I've reviewed The Immortalists by @alekskrotoski.bsky.social, for the Guardian. My boyfriend notes: "Speaking of immortality, the Guardian needs to update your byline photo". OUCH. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

Omg the reviews are coming in. “brilliantly dispassionate reporting” is the highest honour I could get as a journalist. The Daily Mail calls The Immortalists “riveting”. The Financial Times calls it “an entertaining and insightful account”. HBD to me no that’s dust in my eye

First glimpse of The Immortalists book in this weekend’s @theguardian.com Saturday magazine: To them, ageing is a technical problem that can, and will, be fixed’: how the rich and powerful plan to live for ever www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Good piece from @alekskrotoski.bsky.social (not yet online) on the desire for immortality especially amongst tech billionaires. They come across as a bunch of saddos. Contains some fun examples of ridiculous attempts through the ages such as the clipped bit below.
