Yeah Euston is bad because it’s ugly, has shit shops and constantly fucked trains - but imagine combining that with a nonsensical layout, low ceilings so you can’t see ahead of yourself, last min platform announcements AND then filling it with the UK’s most inefficient travellers

BREAKING: A developer used AI to build free, open-source alternatives to Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Brandon Thomas, creator of ArtCraft, a suite of free tools meant to replace Adobe’s apps, built GridCraft, DeckCraft and WordCraft with Anthropic’s Claude, per Tom’s Hardware.
All three are free to download on GitHub.
Says a lot that Bernthal’s only willing to step in if it’s a woman being bullied and not just, y’know, a person.
Jon Bernthal says Kevin Spacey was a bully on set
“I thought he was a bit of a bully. I thought he was, uh, I thought that he, um, didn’t really care for the way he was behaving towards some of the other people on set.”
“I think he was, you know, acting towards people in a way that I remember at the time thinking, ‘Man, if that was a woman that he was talking to, I would have done something.’”
“The kind of man he was when I saw him working with him made me lose all respect for him, and I was enormously disappointed.”

Likes of DuVernay, Affleck and Boyle proudly using AI suggests ever-gaping disconnect between filmmakers and audiences that goes beyond tech itself and points to fundamental ignorance. Vast majority of us don't want this shit. Stop doing it. And certainly stop boasting about it.
This is a *deeply* slippery slope and, frankly, we should expect better from a filmmaker of Danny Boyle’s calibre.
Danny Boyle says he used AI to replace an actor’s face with Margaret Thatcher’s in “Ink” because he didn’t want to “use a Thatcher imitator.”
“It was very important to use that we didn’t use a Thatcher imitator,” he said, acknowledging that Thatcher and The Sun editor Lamb’s relationship was well documented. “She used to visit Larry Lamb’s office late at night after the edition had gone out, and they drank whisky together. She’d take her shoes off, curled up on the sofa.”
He also admitted that his didn’t ask the Thatcher state beforehand: “I declined the ask the estate for permission to do that. I don’t think the estate of people like Margaret Thatcher should have control over our ability to insist on ideas in art about what her influence was on our lives. So that was really important.”

I just realized something
If Adobe goes to court with these guys and wins, that sets the precedent that Intellectual Property is copyright protected from AI
So either Adobe gets destroyed by this knock off, or they go to court and destroy AI exploitation of other people's IP
AI is now being used to recreate Adobe’s software, a developer has released seven free, open-source apps as clean-room alternatives to Adobe’s main tools:
- PhotoCraft → Photoshop
- VectorCraft → Illustrator
- FilmCraft → Premiere Pro
- LightCraft → Lightroom
- EffectCraft → After Effects
- DesignCraft → InDesign
- PrintCraft → Acrobat Pro
Built in Rust with help from Claude Opus 5.5, they run on Windows, Linux, and macOS under MIT/Apache licenses without using Adobe’s source code.

Would this guy technically count as the incumbent Doctor now in the absence of anyone else filling the role? Because if so, I'm very excited for the series of dark and gritty spin-off novels where he commits war crimes.

£600 million–£1.7 billion is the estimated Tax cannabis would provide the UK yearly on raw cannabis purchases alone. (25%)
Add to that increased coffee tea and other drink sales in say a Dutch coffeeshop model.

Multi MILLION pound industry just sitting there untapped btw, because a dying class of stuffed shirt politicians can't let Britain catch up with the rest of the world
I’m one of the over 100K Brits with a medical cannabis prescription - come at me, bitch 👌🏽

Two decades ago Danny Boyle made a movie about people launching stuff into the Sun. Now he’s making a movie about people launching The Sun…
