Lots of Sci-Fi, well I say lots, a few and a bit of historical drama thrown in, this month's viewing was light but still some old favourites in there.

An AI Image Is Not a Real Photo Right?

I was a bit astonished when checking out the submission rules for a major photography grant to see that they accepted AI generated images as long as the artist marked the submission as such.

Surely AI images are not real photographs, or are they?

The Misogynoir in British Politics Needs To Stop

The Misogynoir in British Politics Needs To Stop

There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that Tory Donor Frank Hester's reported comments in reference to MP Diane Abbott are racist and extremist.
