These have arrived now, so let me know if you'd like one.
Rishi DastidarI've written a sonnet celebrating Hook's invention of the postcard, which is naturally printed on a postcard. LMK if you'd like one, and I'll get some more run off.
Call them 'trebutrenchant'. Ahem.
Duncan WeldonBluesky strikes me as a place where people have opinions on sieges.
Can I draw your attention to 'Skinny Dipping in Tiger Country', the debut collection by @maithreyikarnoor.bsky.social. Much to enjoy in it; you can tell there's a twinkle in this poet's eye. Was particularly taken by the below poem. The book's out on Valley Press: valleypressuk.com/products/ski...
New from me: Until recently, the gap between comfortably-off and just-getting-started could plausibly be crossed in a decade or two of hard work. Growth in asset prices means that’s no longer true: even a lifetime of striving doesn’t offer a realistic prospect of feeling you’ve “made it”.
1. Now imagining an alternative establishment where the grime generation take over. 2. Economist style guide rendering it 'the Smiths' is giving me conniptions. It's simply not right!

I haven’t seen anyone note that this will inevitably be used for bullying, as perfectly dull but human-written posts get reported for being AI-slop. The morass we are in will continue to get boggier, messier.
Joseph CoxNew: LinkedIn just introduced a "seems like AI slop" button. That's literally what the button says. The thought leaders are going to have a meltdown www.404media.co/linkedin-int...
Gorgeous piece on the joys of European train travel.
Stephen BushEveryone on the Eurostar is always so nice! It’s a big part of why I always travel by train when I am able. Lovely piece by my colleague Henry Mance on that: www.ft.com/content/93ce...
this is it; it low key breaks my heart that so many people out there have effectively been let down by an education system that they trust a robot to say things rather than their own hands and mouths.
Rick BurinGenerative AI meets the human need to feel like you’re good at something without having to do any practice
reup for this: come for the poem chat, stay for the football chat at the end
