Ah yes. That full ITVX experience 😡

Halle-fucking-lujah #TheBloodyFootball

"That's Brazil in a nutshell". Very good, Lee Dixon, even if unintended. #BRAJPN

Just one possible outcome... but the GFS weather forecast model is suggesting 40-41°C is possible in the UK around 7th July. This is a long-range forecast with significant uncertainty, but the fact that we are even seeing such values fairly regularly in the forecasts is extraordinary.

Ford rehires "greybeard" engineers after its push for AI automation backfires. "Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product." www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

Odyssesus's dad wants to chat Routes (This one is a print and I have four copies left of in the edition before it's sold out, ie never to be printed again! Shop link in my bio 👆) #odyssey

tony blair must be so proud of senegal for the way they demolished iraq #thefootball

Preparing to say goodbye to the mighty BBC Radio 4 Long Wave broadcast. The first service began 101 years ago. The transmitters at Droitwich, Westerglen and Burghead will be switched off at 0100 BST on Saturday. The 200 metre long AM signal at 198 Khz goes right through you and sounds fabulous!

This is disturbing. I interviewed Socolow on his wedges proposal at the big 2005 climate solutions conference at Exeter & found it very persuasive. Maybe if any of the wedges had been pursued actively back then they would have eaten into emissions sooner (I forget the details). But BP's involvement!

The heatwave hysterics were a daily thing back in '76, they even created a minister for drought. And doubtless the Telegraph, Mail and Express were the most hysterical. Anyone with the means to dig out the headlines of the time???

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

the emma hayes tactical breakdown during hydration breaks, complete with clips ready to go, is really good tv

there are thirty-two episodes available RIGHT NOW on bbc sounds and honestly with the cuts the bbc have to make at the moment it wouldn’t hurt if all twenty thousand of you listened to it before series five starts

You have to go back to governmental decisions of 15 years ago to see why the BBC is in a mess. What the hell it does now, timid and starved of resources. Whatever it does, it cannot win.

If you’re a fan of The Lovecraft investigations I’m sure you’ll really enjoy Broken Veil. Very much a cousin to the sort of thing we do, with a very thoughtful and edgy sound design style.

I'm a bariatric surgeon who has performed 2500+ weight management surgeries in the UK & US. GLP-1 weight loss medication have created a massive drop in bariatric surgery. My colleagues in the field are disappointed, but I'm thrilled as I was growing tired of the same operation.

Tonight (Wednesday) from 2115, BBC Four will show the 1997 series 'The Nazis: a Warning from History'. The whole series is available now on BBC iPlayer. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074kmy

I know a lot of you don’t do Facebook (and I don’t blame you), but I’ve set up a page called Nice Things in Local Newspapers so I can spread some positivity in these accursed times. www.facebook.com/share/18LZgX...

My statement on the EHRC Code of Practice and why I have chosen to sign the Motion of Regret.

I'm trying out a new podcast. The presenters have just referred to having a script .... surprising .... they should try reading it 🤨

The dynamic menu bar on the BBC sports website is the worse change to the site in 30 years.

hey quick question, am I having a stroke

Cabin Pressure is honestly one of the best British sitcoms of the 21st Century so far - if you haven't heard any of it yet, treat yerself

Very sad to hear that Anthony Head has died. So many great roles, from the indelible Giles in Buffy to Bleak Expectations and Cabin Pressure to Ted Lasso and everything in between. From all accounts he was a really nice man and a very funny and talented actor. RIP.

It’s time for a midweek mood check! Use a GIF, image, or vid to share how you are you feeling today 🖤

I feel like I'm going mad: Henry Nowak's killer has been sentenced to life in prison with a 21-year minimum. The whole process took less than six months. There were grave errors on the night. But how does this possibly evidence two-tier justice? www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-o...

Between the rioters and the British press I feel like mixing laxatives into Britain's cocaine supply for a couple of months could resolve many things

Money very well spent. Gawd bless you @rosieisaholt.bsky.social 😍

Intriguingly, I think I've just got in to the theater by using the QR code for another show at another venue. Honestly, I did but a ticket 🫣

Time for a show 😃

Lazy morning, re-discovering this gem if an album 😍

Really gorgeous photos from Sunday here 👇

I have a student son Henry Nowak’s age & I can’t imagine what it took for his family to respond outside court with the grace they did, asking that their son’s death not be used for division and hate. That Reform & Restore chose to throw that back in their faces makes me feel sick.

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

Pepper doesn't like penalities 😬😳 #COYG

Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

Lola visited the Wall today to paint a heart honouring and in memory of her father Nick, who died from covid when she was only eleven years old. Volunteer Lynn loaned her a jacket so she wouldn't get paint on her dress. Our hearts break for her and her Mum, Vanessa. 💔

As copilot moves to Token billing & the death of subscriptions. They know the crash is coming so keep pumping that AI bubble bigger and bigger and bigger...

i’d be fascinated to know if tonight’s episode of question time is albert certified

Rewatching all of Poirot and a new reaction gif just dropped

Absolutely love this kit launch

Happy Towel Day, Hitchhikers, wherever you may be. Sadly I’m not in Stalbridge for the unveiling of Douglas’s Blue Plaque but Marvin is apparently doing an excellent job of being miserable and the weather really couldn’t be better for overheating all the diodes down his left hand side…

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™
