Or to quote a famous movie line “Fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy night”

As he always does, Paul Combs recently wrote a great article about despite trying to be positive about the new year his optimism had already been dashed by AI/ChapGBT taking over the writing world. You can read his article here:

I too always try to be positive at the start of the year but found myself bogged down with the news. I really should know better than to think things might change for the better and thus another movie quote came into my mind:

“Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In”

Yes, certain news items got me very wound up. Again, I really should know better than to get agitated by events of this world, but I can’t help it. There was one this week in the UK that was so heartbreaking that is far too difficult to reflect on let alone write about.
