UK Society of Authors launches logo to identify books written by humans not AI
Tracy Chevalier announces registration scheme at the London Book Fair as AI works flood market
Sadly, this is absolutely necessary and I welcome it for at least 2 reasons: Books are personal, about sharing experience & exploring ideas - if you’ve read my books, you’ve met me. And a human author is *accountable* for what they/we write: we take responsibility & influences/money are traceable.

The coffee doesn't taste any better but yes the quiet atmosphere does make everything feel nicer. I was probably there around an hour. I didn't check the time!

‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’
Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.
It's as if they understand and accept the facts and/or expert consensus on a given topic but set policy in the opposite direction to annoy the libs.
It's not just ignorance or a lack or knowlege. It's anti-knowlegde.

Campaigners push to protect chalk streams in Carshalton
Campaigners say the eco-system rarity does not have enough legal protection.
Not just Carshalton..! Chalk Streams are rare and precious on a global scale. Pure and clean, they are wonderful habitats for all manner of wildlife, and the vast majority of them are in (southern) England.
It is our responsibility to the planet to look after them.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Nice pedal up to 750m today before slogging through wet snow to Carn Bhac. Glen Christie was doing its best 'sunshine and shade' thing 🙂

Sunny and breezy today, clouds over the hills. A stroll in the woods and a pleasant stop for coffee. #Cairngorms

Picture of Keir Starmer and Donald Trump with headline "Trump's just chosen Britain's next Prime Minister - he's proven Keir Starmer is finished"
The Express. Openly supporting a foreign power trying to subvert our democracy.

Good god it was a real stunner today. Busiest I've seen the car park since the autumn, and can't say I was surprised. -3C this morning, warm sunshine and no wind, blanket snow cover above 900m and a high of just 6C in the glen. Where else would you want to be???? 😎 #rangerdailydiary

Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."
PLUMBER DEFEATS

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

The local elections are in 2 months and Reform UK are begging people to stand.
Recruitment must be going poorly, they’ve probably realised they don’t have enough former Tories to fill their candidate list.
