Delighted to announce that following the consultation, I'm giving the green light to make Oxford Street traffic-free.

Itβs the AI start-up dream. After years of slog, Nvidia offers a $500mn investment. No-brainer? Not if youβre Hugging Face. The FT reveals today the group rejected the offer in a sign of the growing divide over what, exactly, AI should be.

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

This never infuriates me, a pleasing big button to switch to Bluetooth.

Screengrab of the "BFI Replay" website, featuring a collection titled Silver Screens: A Century of Cinemagoing, with the following introductory text: From the picture palaces of the past to modern multiplexes... The cinema has always been so much more than just a place to watch films. At the height of its powers, the silver screen stood for spectacle, sophistication, electricity and elegance as well as entertainment, and the very venues themselves were star attractions. These architectural marvels stood proud in cities and towns up and down the country, enthralling audiences in their thousands in the days when "going to the pictures" was a national pastime. For over a century, cinema has endured, and cinemas have changed with the times. The rise of television, video and home cinemas may have splintered the cultural dominance of the movies while bringing films to smaller and more convenient screens, but the thrill of the communal experience remains - as do many of the monumental structures themselves, whether they have been converted into bingo halls, renovated into plush modern picture houses, or left to loom over the high street. This collection celebrates the cinema as both a cultural icon and a haven for generations of starry-eyed dreamers, and documents the changing face of filmgoing from the bygone bioscopes and the lavish picture palaces of yesteryear to the sticky-floored multiplexes of today. So dim the lights, grab your popcorn, and lose yourself in the magic of the silver screen.
New curated collection by me over on BFI Replay, tracing the changing face of 'the cinema' as a cultural and architectural icon over the last 100 years, from grand picture palaces to sticky-floored multiplexes. Find it at your local library. πΏ
I meanβ¦ thatβs why Iβm on it. All my hobbies are there (skateboarding/tunes) and itβd cool to follow you but Iβd say donβt do it.

Is this the most San Francisco skateboarding photo of all time?
Agree. I think people really do care about the welfare bill, or at least the outcomes, and not wrapped in Westminster daily pish. Itβs also possible this only makes her look human in the jeering Commons
