Things we used to watch on telly because there was nothing else on. Keith Harris, Orville and Dana singing about the circus. Two things disturb me in this clip. Keith Harris' super tight white pants and Cuddles walking around on his own accord.

It's busy out there. We live in a shooting gallery, just lucky we are a small moving target. 🔭

This is not just maths. It's a design choice, supported by benchmarks that reward false certainty. Good to see OpenAI do some of the research, but it's also a reminder that OpenAI shouldn't be relied upon to do all the research.

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

One of my favourite videos online is the exploding gnocchi one, and I was terrified that Ann Reardon's video today was gonna debunk it. They faked it!? Instead I actually got an incredibly interesting analysis of why some gnocchi can actually explode!

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

Transphobia harms everyone and leads to exclusion. Standing up for trans people helps everyone and builds inclusive communities. Every single time:
