In the culture wars, I want to be the bit on Christmas Day where they all knocked it on the head for a bit and played football.

@drdeanburnett.bsky.socialReposted by @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

@bingohandjive.bsky.socialReposted by @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialI went to school in 1990s Somerset. To prove that light travels faster than sound, my science teacher brought his shotgun to school. We stood at one end of the field, he at the other. We started stop-watches when we saw smoke emerge from his barrel and stopped them when we heard the rifle crack.
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialI've finally realised - I'm the dim one in my marriage: www.thetimes.com/article/d17a...
@jdportes.bsky.socialReposted by @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialGood straightforward reporting from the Wall Street Journal on Musk's promotion of Restore/Rupert Low/civil war in the UK. Lots of detail, no polemics.
The BBC could and should do this. Why doesn't it?
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialHope this isn't a total "find and replace" on all official NHS documents - if I'm asked if I have "a warm hand over" in my pants next time I have thrush, I'm going to be very confused.
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialNo paywall today for the extract from my new book, How To Be Hopeful, which begins with me having a slight nervous breakdown, before going on a year-long quest to feel hopeful about the modern world: www.thetimes.com/article/547b...
@400footghost.bsky.socialReposted by @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialAbsolutely fascinating to think that every single one of us is descended from either Fred & Wilma Flinstone or Barney & Betty Rubble.
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialOh babe! What a GREAT idea for an essay! God, I want to read them. You sound like an AMAZING teacher - the DREAM! xxxx
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialI will SHOWER KISSES on you!
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialI WILL! and hugging, and chatting: the full shebang! Can't wait to see you there!
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialThe second chapter is LITERALLY about this!
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialThis time next week I'm in NORWICH with my absolute girl-crush, Sara Pascoe - so great, Katherine Ryan named a cat after her. Ticket INCLUDES "How To Be Hopeful": my new book on how I tried, and succeeded, in feeling hopeful in the 21st century. Signings, hugs, etc: www.gigantic.com/caitlin-mora...
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialAs of next Sunday, I am on a month-long tour with "How To Be Hopeful" - my book about the year-long experiment I conducted to see if it's possible to feel hopeful about the 21st century. Spoiler: it worked. Live tickets and book pre-order here: linktr.ee/CaitlinMoran "A minor bible for our times."
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialawww THANK YOU! xxxx

@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialEverything Cory Doctorow invariably makes you go "HUH!" There's every chance someone who reads this will invent something that changes the world
@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.socialHow have they chosen trousers which NONE of them suit?
