Uh oh. Big screen in the National Trust office is now streaming PuffinCam. You can watch all the live action on the Farne Islands from a desk in Swindon. How are we supposed to work with this going on? It’s like Oscars night on a loop, but with better outfits and manners.

ALL my books, stolen by Meta to train its AI, multiple times. 16 years of work, 20 novels. And Meta - one of the richest corporations on earth - chose to use pirated books because ‘it was too expensive’ to pay for them. Wholesale theft, from every author I know. Disgusting.
