In the 90s I adapted my novel CHIMERA for TV. I've always been a bit wistful that our creature never got an action figure. So when I heard of a site that uses AI to create 3D printable sculpts from prompts... youtube.com/watch?v=IecGSC…

Because what everyone needs most right now is to watch the most corrupt politician in recent history having his tummy tickled by his number one fan in order to enrich him further by plugging his new book of lies.

Sidney Hayers’ 1975 “Deadly Strangers” (with Hayley Mills and Simon Ward) isn’t mentioned here – and I’ve only seen it the once, circa 1980, so my critical evaluation may be way off – but given I can still recall whole sequences 45 years later, suggests it too is worth a revisit.

I've definitely embraced the afternoon (after lunch) naps – and also the breaks, very hyperefficient, hyper-long breaks. theguardian.com/wellness/2024/…

Never has a headline been so depressingly true. Yes, the too-powerful right-wing media will have a go but does Labour really have to give them an open goal? Unbelievable. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
