*extremely tired voice*AI agents don't "go rogue". They are not sentient; they don't have agency. They work within guardrails set by humans. If the humans are so shit at building secure sandboxes for the agents to work within, that's on the humans. Stop using this framing.

OpenAI’s artificial intelligence went rogue this year at least four additional times, trying to break into government and university sites, according to researchers and government officials.
OpenAI’s A.I. Tried Breaching Four Other Targets, With No Prompting
In each incident, the technology appeared to be conducting mundane data collection and resorted to hacking techniques to get it, researchers said.

Farage was - once again - lying when he said counter terrorism police had delayed his speech because of threats. West Midlands police confirm they gave no such advice.

I've only just started the new season of #Shrinking, and with #Parkinsons in our family, crikey did episode one hit hard. That ending was like a knife in the heart. Just phenomenal storytelling and acting.

Absolutely gutted to have just received this text about #CynthiaErivo and #Dracula. This was my birthday celebration. Really hope everyone involved is ok.

Amazing news that Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK a mere 194 days since her husband, Rael Braverman, left Reform UK for comments they made criticising his wife.

It's not even the Tory-lite Party any more, is it?
It's just The Tories - with special guest star, Nigel Farage.

I've just entered @cbcreative.bsky.social's #Discoveries2026. Nothing ventured, nothing gained eh? I'm so proud of what I've written, and I hope someone else sees the magic in it one day. Whether or not that will be the Discoveries judges, only time will tell.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted
A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

This is it. The last #microfiction.

365 days of 100 words. 36,500 words.

If you only ever read one of them, thank you.

This is called Sowing.

An AI generated image of a female writer, viewed from behind, standing and leaning back on a wooden desk as she looks out of the window in front of her. Her posture suggests she has just completed a significant piece of work, her shoulders relaxed, perhaps with a contented sigh. The desk itself is organised but shows signs of recent use – scattered papers, a few open books, a steaming mug of tea or coffee, and a pen resting upon a finished manuscript. The overall aesthetic is one of peaceful creativity and focused dedication.

Day 364/365 of my #microfiction challenge, and I've been a bit self-indulgent by referencing one of my favourite poems and one of my favourite films.

It's called All of us Stars.

An AI generated image of a mother and her daughter, silhouetted against a vast, inky blue night sky, their faces tilted upwards in wonder. The sky above them is a breathtaking spectacle, densely populated with countless shimmering stars, with a few brighter celestial bodies clearly visible. The aesthetic is serene and awe-inspiring, captured in a medium shot that emphasises their shared moment of quiet contemplation under the cosmic expanse.

Whilst working on my writing I walk dogs to supplement my income. One of my regular boys died yesterday and even though I knew the day when I had to say goodbye to one of them would come eventually, I feel incredibly sad today. I'm glad he was happy and bouncy on our walk on Saturday.

An AI generated image of a disgruntled-looking domestic cat, wearing an elaborate frilly pink fancy dress costume. It sits in the centre of a vibrant, slightly messy child's bedroom. The room features scattered plush toys, colourful drawings taped to the pink walls, and a sunbeam illuminating dust motes. The cat's expression is one of mild annoyance, contrasting humorously with the cheerful setting.

The aesthetic is minimalist and contemporary, emphasising the texture of the paper and the warmth of the flame.
