Chuffed to bits with my vegetarian Christmas Eve feast. It would have been vegan, but you can’t beat a few dollops of Gorgonzola cheese in your risotto.

Personally, the more police I see deployed, the less safe I feel.

This ferocious, all-out assault on women's rights has been years in the making. They mapped out every sphere where women gained autonomy - education, healthcare, careers, social freedoms - and are systematically targeting each one for destruction. judithdayal.substack.com/p/project-20...

You can tell Thiebaud truly did worship Morandi.

What a delightful little Wayne Thiebaud exhibition at the Courtauld. Like Cézanne before him, Morandi proved instrumental in inspiring Thiebaud’s sublime still lifes of the mundane.

Super moon in Hyde Park.

Welcome to the Ritz.

Beautifully written.

With Melania Trump delivering a speech on the impact of AI on warfare to the US Marine Corps (which of course she cannot pronounce properly because language ability is one of the things money can’t buy) on Thanksgiving day, irony is officially dead.

I’ll never understand why the cold season doesn’t get more love.

The majority of job ads for foreign language speakers on LinkedIn are from AI companies who want you to train their model so your skills become entirely redundant. It's a hard pass and a big fu*k you from me.

Ignorance and science denial are a tragedy.

This such an important point.

Did a bit of walking and a bit of baking today. I love Autumn, it’s my favourite season. Always has been.

Great piece, thank you. Johnson is putridly corrupt and has been getting away with murder for way too long. Is there an end to this privilege and impunity? Wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.

Dumas is an extraordinary artist.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Cheeky day trip to my happy place.

Went to the cinema to watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and now I can’t get over these two. Ross was stunning, as well. What an epic trio.

A must read for all AI users and for anyone wondering what AI is all about. collectivefutures.blog/the-infrastr...

This is such a fascinating interview. What a woman, what a legacy. open.spotify.com/episode/0PcJ...

I just finished my first AI-led work interview and I'm feeling slightly discombobulated. Couldn't help but feel like a muppet having to impress a non-human.

Worth sharing another one.

Double rainbow. A first!

FUCK THE MONARCHY.

This our resistance handbook.

The obscene wealth club meets up for drinks and nibbles. I feel sick.

This one hurts.

Every single word of this beautifully articulated piece. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Back to the grind. I find the supermarket experience utterly soul destroying.

Well done you orange c*nt for rolling out the red carpet for putin thinking he’d be remotely interested in peace. This one’s on you.

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

Heavenly off-season Sardinian break.

‘sulphurous sack of curdled testosterone’ had me in stitches

Don't think I'm too far off 'tamalousiness'.

That’s him told. What is he doing there anyway?

And my contribution to the where the eff is Trump conversation is the following: in 2002, the late Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi disappeared for over 2 weeks. Turned out he'd had a facelift so I wouldn't get my hopes too high if I were you. I KNOW.

My contribution to the USOpen-related conversation today is the following: I once ran into Adrien Mannarino in Sephora on 5th Avenue. He's much better looking than you all think.

@kurtandersen finally got my hands on the very last copy at the legendary Waterstones in London’s Piccadilly.

Israel wants us to become de-sensitised to these numbers. We can never allow that to happen. This is an abomination - a stain on humanity - and yes, a genocide as well. Israel steps up Gaza attacks, with 123 killed in 24 hours www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Murderers.

Fascinated by the quiet mastery behind these perfectly stacked wood piles.

Credit to the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen. Defying the Israeli ban on filming Gaza from above, Bowen instead describes the carnage & genocide he can see: “I can tell you that communities in the north of Gaza that I knew well…with tens of thousands of people…are flat. There’s nothing left of them.”

"If we don't save Gaza we would not have saved our international order. Humanity will be buried in Gaza." The articulate rage of Dr Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, needs to be heard by every Western leader enabling the genocide & starvation in #Gaza. (🎥 CH4 News)

Highlight of the year 🎾

My thoughts exactly.

Florence last night.

Lunch with a stunning view of Lake Maggiore. Although I’m still wary of that dark, murky water.
