Hello and welcome to my newsletter!
Another season 2 instalment…
What’s up with the title this week? That’s just how things feel like to me at the minute. Yep, it’s bleak!
But I have podcasts to make everything better…
I’ll add more content world willing at the end of the week.
If you would like to make everything better for me, and the newsletter, please donate! The newsletter used to be so much better and could be again. You really could make a big difference. Until I can afford a laptop things are going to be kind of shit.

The newsletter could be so much better :)
Update 1: I managed to write 3 blog posts!
Marty Bent and Matt Odell on Trump family World Liberty Be Defined https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2024/09/22/marty-bent-and-matt-odell-on-trump-family-world-liberty-be-defined
The crazy future of RL deep fakes https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2024/09/22/the-crazy-future-of-rl-deep-fakes
Our Keir Starmer Journey https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2024/09/22/our-keir-starmer-journey
Update 2: It’s Saturday morning now. Just a dire torturous week. It’s like day 5 of starvation, I’ve lost count. So unfortunately nothing to add, which is a shame really because the whole issue could have been a lot more upbeat as a load of good pods dropped at the end of the week but I’ve had to put them in next week’s issue, just to ensure something gets sent out. There’s likely some hope somewhere though I’m finding it very difficult to locate it at the present moment. All the best, hope to be with you next week, please donate.
