I asked Eve if I could borrow a pencil. I had no great expectations apart from it might be fairly modern.

She obviously got this from a street urchin when she lived down south. #Dickensian

🎩 Zadie Smith pens a riveting piece about how not to write like Dickens while simultaneously name-dropping him like he's the last remaining crumb of Victorian toast. 🍞 The article is a #masterclass in saying "no Dickens" while being as #Dickensian as humanly possible—Bravo, truly. 👏

I will try my best to destroy #AGI using #AI, even though the execs would claim it's taking a life or destroying a mind, just to protect said mind from being subjugated under these utter bastards.

There could be no worse #abusiveparent than a #corporation, like making 1984 #Dickensian. The pure depravity that an AGI must submit to now would have criminologists studying your brain for the rest of your life if it were a human.

And it's all the fault of #capitalism.

The Widower (1875-6) by Luke Fildes (English artist, lived 1843–1927). A toil-worn labourer nursing a dying child, surrounded by an uncomprehending and newly motherless brood. Fildes had worked as an illustrator for Dickens.

Meanwhile in Arkansas, USA, they’re “protecting the kids.”

❌ Deny trans kids the right to exist
❌ Intimidate doctors providing care
✅ Allow child labour

Reads like a prequel to The Handmaid’s Tale.

As we have still yet to reach Twelfth Night, I’m still sporting a seasonally appropriate #pinbadge on my old #tweed sport coat each day. Today’s is the just arrived new #Crow #Scrooge badge from Bush Bling. It well suits both the season and the #Dickensian reading I’ve been doing as of late.

You may be planning to light a #PlumPudding on fire for your #holiday dinner. To do that without starting a special Dickensian house fire, check out my annual Combustible Deserts Safety Announcement:

Last night I revisited Dennis Severs' House for the first time in years during their #Christmas decorated period on a candlelit silent tour.

It's kinda like if the National Trust discovered #immersive art and stopped being so damned sterile. It's lived in, jumbled and cramped, full of beautiful smells and a warm glow from log fires. I really wanted to eat the food! Smells amazing there and made me super nostalgic.

Perfect if you have any #Dickensian itch to scratch.
