Oh how I loathe the Thomas Heatherwick-designed London Routemaster buses. Hardly any windows, no air-con. He designed the Olympic cauldron, then a diffusion range on wheels

Lend With Care @lendwithcare is a great charity where you can give over and over again with the same money - helping lots of people along the way. Very easy to donate and re-donate

My friend is desperate to find her late dad’s ring, lost Fri 27 Mar on the 10.38 am from Andover to Winchester or 5.05pm from Winchester to Brockenhurst. He was Brian Freemantle - author of many great spy novels and a really lovely man to boot. Any help gratefully received!

Meet Mackenzie Bly (not his real name; see back cover). I wanted to write something purely funny, but I fell in love with my lead character along the way. It's out in August, but the lovely proofs have just arrived. Retweet before tomorrow (Sun) evening, and I'll pick 2 winners.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you use AI to write a book, you’re not a writer. If you use it to finish your book, you’re a failed writer. If you use it to rewrite a book you’re not happy with, you’re a writer who cheats. Spell-checking? Absolutely fine. But no, being able to tell AI that you had a great idea about a dragon, a sushi restaurant and a cowboy-prince, and getting it to generate your story doesn’t make you a writer. It makes you someone who likes having silly fun with AI. And that’s fine too. But no, you’re not a writer.

Just giving this another try in case anyone recognises it! #forgotten80s
Does anyone know what this song/group is? I recorded it off the radio in late 80s/early 90s and have just rediscovered the tape. It was a mystery then and remains one now 30+ years on! Shazam doesn't recognise it #forgotten80s

Writers, is there a way to get fake UK car reg numbers for use in film/TV/books? I know where to go for phone numbers, but can't find a car equivalent. Don't want to implicate a real car in a fictional murder 😵‍💫 #WritingCommunity #author #AuthorsOfTwitter

So sad to see MTV shut down in the UK - my first ever 'proper' job and years of fun, friends and parties galore

Message from Afghan woman Please read and share:- Life for a woman in Afghanistan is beyond belief. Many people may not know what happens outside the home — but what happens inside, behind closed doors, is even worse. We are forced to endure abuse from both husbands and mothers-in-law. I cook, clean, and wash all day, but I’m still mistreated. My husband beats me. Once, my mother-in-law told him that I was secretly studying on my phone — and he took my phone away. I feel completely trapped. Sometimes I think about ending my life, but when I look at my little daughter, I stop — for her. Still, I feel powerless. Yet whenever my husband is not home, I study in secret. I want to share my voice with the world. Please read my message, support me, and be the voice for Afghan women. @jk_rowling
