its actually quite refreshing to have a PM whose embarrassing history involves raising money for charity, rather than burning £50 notes in front of homeless people and shagging pigs...
Andy Burnham's 'Strictly' dance video, found by #BBCBreakfast
The PM said on TV show 'Gogglebox' for Stand Up To Cancer he has a "clang of anxiety" when discussing dancing - after taking part in a charity event for the Rob Burrow centre for MND

Holy shit lads
Who'd have thought the American Pope would be the best Pope. I've never felt more catholic lads
Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

The whole point of art, in fact the point of engaging with another person's thoughts in any capacity, is to expand your very limited individual perspective on the world, not to live in a tiny box perfectly catered to your adolescent personal tastes

X really doesn’t have any juice at all any more does it. This exhibition is getting hundreds of thousands of views everywhere else and here, crickets. Anyone even vaguely interested in art has clearly abandoned the place

Five star Guardian reviews don’t come around every Sunday.
Great piece that nails the dizzying scale, atmosphere and complexity of the exhibition.
Get yourself to Oxford to see this, it will completely blow your mind

Magnificent, ostensibly throwaway lyric from McCartney 50 years ago.
"Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is
I'll dream of her tonight."
Queues round the block for the opening of this yesterday. A portal to an alternative universe, bang in the middle of Oxford..
“Algorithms lack the spark of humanity.”
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

on one hand, AI poses major risks with job automation, data privacy violations, and the spread of misinformation, but on the other we're able to hear what Blue by Eiffel 65 would sound like if sung by Liam Gallagher, so it's impossible to say whether it's bad or not

Let’s all fight for the humanities and the arts. Let’s not accept societal decline. Let’s say we love it and we do not consent to it disappearing.
I’m watching this exhibition come together and I’m not allowed to share any pictures and it is killing me, this whole show is unlike anything I’ve ever seen
