such weather to be attempting to do something outdoors

Argh, everyone burning garden waste before the heat sets in, I get your point but also, trying to air the house before the heat sets in and this is horrible.

Working in digital education for an Arts & Humanities Faculty, I'm often called upon to discuss what creative professions actually "do" about GenAI - and this is a very, very generous and comprehensive account of handling it in fiction. Recommended read.

Doing some of my favourite tours again at the beautiful @dulwichgallery.bsky.social on Thursday! But please stay cool it's going to be bloody boiling; tank tops and oversized water bottles encouraged! Tickets are free, but please book ahead X www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/out...

vigilance is exhausting, which is of course the point

damnit football

ffs

ffs

There we go!!!

DAMNIT FOOTBALL

YES EGYPT YES

Yup! And I'm going to keep posting these articles because eventually I'll be vindicated with this full-time RTO foolishness. Work demands have changed. Online and phone work are accelerating. Nostalgia is not a productive strategy.

genuinely impressed by this, good job everyone

anyway, Sewing Bee is back on BBC2 next Tuesday so that's something to smile about

I’ve seen many cases of people wasting time trying to feedback on things that haven’t been read or understood. It’s a bit like when teaching maths and needing to distinguish between mistakes and misunderstanding. How you help and feed back is different.

Understanding that "by any means and using every leverage possible" is a fundamentally American approach to things is basic cultural literacy but it's been so omnipresent in *everything* that we forget until it gets extrapolated to that rare area that hasn't yet been America-sodden.

actual irl gasp, she is so beautiful

All institutions will have to do additional work on top of the full-time work they already do with the bare minimum of staff and resource to work out how to do even more with even less. Unsustainable doesn't even start to cover it.

my brain, helpfully while making tea, to the tune of the spongebob theme: LAP! SANG! SOU! CHONG!

This is classy from both of them. Belgium got the result that justice demanded but Balogun was put in a no-win situation and has handled it as best anyone could

Ah, football, the beautiful game

Day 3 of #tourdefleece2026 and what with still being exhausted from the football and being distracted by the diaries earlier mentioned, it's just a little spin today, but I did start picking over some fresh fleece to crack on with so hoping I do more tomorrow!

Thank goodness because I absolutely could not have watched any more of this exhaustingly dull excuse for football

A roundabout series of events led me to rereading my great-uncle Arthur's diary from the trenches in 1918, which my dad typed up many years' ago. More baseball than I had imagined (he fought for the Canadian army, having emigrated there in about 1910). www.canadianletters.ca/document-123...

so grateful someone caught this moment of true captaincy, even if you couldn't care less about football, watch this heroic struggle

ah, I see dawn is here, and soon it's time to go to work. Thank you, England, for not making us suffer extra time.

oh the brutality of making Kane compete this interview, bless him, truly

we really need a nice sleepy game to follow that up before bedtime

Thank goodness we've got Wonderwall now instead of bloody Sweet Caroline

My dad's review is "Absolutely sensational!" and this team should be damn proud of that, my dad is rarely forthcoming with the good praise!

bloody hell I can't believe we did it what a match and now? Norway ahahahaha

Bellingham looks absolutely done

we look so so knackered

ELEVEN MINUTES???

um why are you taking Kane off so you want us to lose on penalties

it's been a while since anyone said altitude

this match I swear

it is impossible to post about this game because something else happens before your finish the last thought

THE PENALTY MERCHANT SELLS

deeply considering leaving the room

PENALTY MERCHANT TIME

Truly genuinely enjoying the Americans who have not really encountered much football discovering that there's a global party that's been happening every four years and all you have to do to be invited is engage with it for like 0.5 seconds and you too can know joy, anguish and nonsense with us all

Joe Hart that jacket is absolutely lamentable on you, I'm so sorry

Gordon just bouncing himself off a Mexican player to finish the half, lovely, great work everyone, you delivered the football

chanting "just get to half time, just get to half time"

Rice is crocked because he's having to cover for about five positions in this team

ah yes there we go Well look, it's 2.42am and I am sure as hell awake.

the nice thing is that Jude will want a hat trick and Harry won't want to not have a goal

Alan Shearer laughing like Sid James
