Very proud of my 16-year-old boy who played the last post at our remembrance Sunday service at the war memorial today.

James Norton as Father Christmas is aimed entirely at me and my demographic (middle aged women with money to spend in @marksandspencer) and I don't care about this one jot.

Russell Brand used libel and harassment laws for years to suppress revelations about his predatory behaviour. These laws don’t protect ordinary people, they are almost exclusively used by the rich to scare off adverse publicity. Time for reform.
Russell Brand found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault bbc.in/4ip1NNA
As a Christian, I found the performative nature of Brand's conversion repulsive. Of course we welcome anyone; but conversion can be quiet and private. Selfies, baptisms in pants, social media everywhere... Grim faith washing.

It's really interesting what happens when journalists leave an Ofcom regulated environment (TV news) for an unregulated environment (podcasting), and decide to express their opinions and personality. It can work well. It can also backfire.
The radio recording of that Learjet crash makes me want to vomit. I really don't think that should be publicly available.

Can I just say, UK people, that we still have bonfire night to do before we can think about Christmas. That is the law, I'm afraid.
Just been to see the new Ghosts movie with my husband and the kids - 16 and 12. We all loved it and came out laughing and feeling buoyed. Perfect family outing. @simonfarnaby

We are relying on his carers to tell us he's OK. His fall alarm is still working (thank God) as that's 4g, but his wifi has been down for days.

YEP. Right now, my 94-year-old father-in-law, who has dementia, has no functioning phone. It's digital now and hasn't been working since the storms in Cornwall a few days ago. No sign of when it will be fixed. Awful @bt_uk bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6x2…
A cautionary tale about the unreliability of AI. It's impossible these days to avoid AI when you search on Google, which is what I did when I wanted to find out which libraries are stocking my novel, My Silent Sister. I was gobsmacked by what it did...

His interview on Life Changing was a compelling listen.

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
ALT Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.
Unless his previous employers (Oman Air) provided a reference disclosing their concerns, I'm not sure what 'checks' would have helped. He doesn't seem to have a conviction of any kind. cnn.com/2026/10/02/world/fly…
The number of people replying to this now, not noticing I asked this before more details emerged about this, is wild.

There's something confusing me about the Fly Dubai incident. How did anyone get into the flight deck? Did the injured captain somehow open the door, while he was being attacked?
