My last book, ‘Calling all the Dreamers,’ is a love letter to the 90s music scene, finding your identity through bands and gigs, and how the tunes we absorb define who we go on to become. #Ai generate slop music will never be able to do that. So I feel like music is safe for now. amzn.to/3VGZ0TW

Ai companies don’t “do creativity.” They strip-mine it. What they’re calling “innovation” is just the commoditisation of soul; Turning the craft of writers, illustrators, colourists, letterers & editors into cheap fuel. Comics aren’t data. They’re lived imagination. Don’t buy the lie.

I just hustled my way through the entirety of Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty on the Switch 2, and it was AWESOME. I played it extensively on the PS5 from its early release, but this Switch 2 experience was so so rewarding. It’s a blast. CD Projekt Red really did create a masterpiece. Bravo.

Chatbots based on real people aren’t resurrections, they’re reflections. Data can mimic tone, memory, and style, but it can’t carry soul, choice, or presence. They’re echoes, not returns.

If the Guardian leans any more to the right it might as well rebrand or merge with The Express.

Well that was emotional — an incredible night with #Feeder playing “Comfort in Sound” in its entirety. If you know the background to this album it needs no explanation… #RIPJon

What a sweet sweet sweet afternoon. #CryLiv #CPFC

Phenomenal #ComicBook tip from the lovely people in Piranha comics in Kingston last week. ‘Crossover’ by Donny Cotes and the team is a whole ton of fun. Highly recommended! comicvault.cc/comic/CRO202...

Waives in Norwegian. It actually supports the highest level of digital security with the bankID system. It creates joined up government, something the UK desperately needs. Norway already had a digital health solution to support a test and trace set up - no billions wasted.

The guardian really doesn’t understand that every single piece of our data is already hacked and on the dark-net somewhere already… 🤦🏻 What bothers me slightly about the Guardian at the moment is their anti-Starmer stance is leading the country towards Farage.

“It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. “ - Barack Obama — The root of a lot of our current problems are billionaires and politicians who won at life but then refused to sail off into the sunset.

Anybody that thinks this country has a better leadership option than Starmer at the moment probably doesn’t realise quite how slim our pickings are… He’s not exciting. He’s not showboat-y. He’s not what we want, but he’s probably what we need vs. the alternatives.

…so that Alien Earth finale.

It’s easy for the purists to be sniffy about #Coldplay, but I’ve seen this tour and it’s truly a spectacle. Innovation a’plenty and a band who appreciate their audience. They’ve never turned their back on what or who they are, and where they fit in. www.independent.co.uk/voices/coldp...

This man used to lead the free world towards unity, democracy and balance. How did we end up so far away from such a remarkable leader? youtube.com/shorts/RMQxo...

There’s a Japanese proverb: If you find yourself on the wrong train, get off at the next station. No matter the cost, no matter the embarrassment—every price is worth correcting course. Staying on only takes you further from where you’re meant to be.

I don’t trust any bird that talks and neither should you. A bird that talks will one day be the bird that takes your job.

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Sad news about Robert Redford. A true cult icon. 30 Days of the Condor is easily one of my favourite films… they don’t make movies or actors like that anymore. #RIPRobert

Why is an American multi-billionaire so obsessively entangled with British culture? What’s his real stake in our identity, our press, our politics? And why does he keep showing up hand-in-hand with a vicious right-wing thug, as if Britain is his personal toybox for influence and control?

The pundits brushing this off flippantly as just another little gathering of the bulldog-right are fundamentally missing the point about what a very very dangerous corner this country is turning because the grown-ups in charge have lost all grip and all positive credit with the tax-paying-public.

It’s lovely to see so many people out celebrating the immigrant St George in London today. A man whose dad was from Turkey and mum was from Syria. Who died in Palestine, never visited England, didn't kill a dragon & is a Muslim and Jewish prophet. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

For anybody annoyed that they missed out on Radiohead tickets, I just got through to the seat selection and promptly reverse myself out when I saw that tickets were ‘starting’ at £200… uhhhmmm… uhhhh, no thank you @radiohead.wastehq.social you genuinely greedy, money grabbing sods. Art is dead.

AXS and @radiohead.wastehq.social ensuring a fair fan experience……….. by not having a ticketing site that actually works 😂🤣😆 Tell me another time in history when we had so much big-tech, and were unable to deliver something as basic as ‘buying a ticket.’

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns

When did the @theguardian.com decide they wanted another right-wing government in power? Because their absolute shredding of the current one is helping us on that path… My theory is they have better things to write about when they’re in opposition.

I’m not a huge fan of the Joe Rogan podcast, but this episode with Jimmy Carr slipped into my playlist so I listened to it… and oh my, what a very wise and fascinating thinker Jimmy Carr is. Worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

@theguardian.com has dropped a massive exposé on the most shamelessly corrupt, lying buffoon this country has ever produced… it all tells us nothing we didn’t already assume. It’s like unearthing Watergate and reporting: “Turns out Nixon was a bit dodgy.” Johnson mugged us all off — A LOT.

Snooze. These lazy ‘execs’ will learn this the hard way when people tune into real discussion, listen to real music, watch authentic movies, and buy genuine art. The good will win out.

Really fabulous night of #Ash at the Scala in London. Absolutely brilliant. Been a fan since the 90s and they just showed up, did the hits… some deeper cuts and totally entertained. Loved that.

#AI will never surpass people because truly new ideas (the kind that explain the unexplained) demand outside-the-box thinking. The unknown cannot be predicted from past experience, and machines are bound to the past.

Table-stakes. But a welcome addition. Hiding it behind Max and Team sets them behind…

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

*uploading your consciousness to a computer* well there you go, you're immortal. also check this out, I can change your language settings. yeah, you're just a bunch of code approximating someone who already died, oops I changed all your memories, now I made you excel, death would have been better

We’re sleep-walking into this really unpleasant piece of work becoming the next prime minister of the UK. Largely because the good one we voted in last year doesn’t seem capable of being his own man, and instead emulating what he thinks the people want rather than need.

People don’t follow false prophets because they crave lies, but because the voices of truth stopped offering them hope, support, and a way forward. In the silence of truth, deception sounds like salvation. The NHS is the real problem here, not the snake-oil sales companies.

Imitating your enemy doesn’t defeat them, it only erodes your cause and drives your allies from your side.

Our stunning Metropolitan Police force just sent me a speeding fine / points for going ‘24 miles per hour’ across a junction in south London….. honestly, what has the U.K. become? The absolute loons on The Right will win this country by abolishing all the stuff that grinds average people down.

The Israeli military “offers an important insight into how the latest technologies can be adopted for widespread monitoring and control.”

My ‘Vault’ project / product is coming along so nicely. This week I’ve been turning some pretty hardcore collection analytics… it’s been a lot of fun.

Of course, these are largely artefacts of a situation where the employees are considered rather valuable...

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

Work should be like football: transfer windows, deadline day panic, big signings, last-minute steals. Hiring would finally be dramatic instead of all the dull HR paperwork.

Pre-cisely THIS. We absolutely have to stop blaming the technology, it’s under the custodianship of tech companies. Roll a few executive heads rather than using opinions embedded in code as the excuse.

Funny how racists wave the St George’s cross as an anti-immigration banner. St George himself? A Middle Eastern soldier, venerated in Ethiopia, Georgia, and Greece... Patron Saint of Palestine. You’re literally backing an immigrant. 🏴✈️

Let’s not forget that St.George was from the Middle East and never actually visited England! So ironically the flag is that of an immigrant! Just saying….

Just a remarkable creative genius.
