NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst. It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

New #Film #Review from me on @letterboxd.social - Saipan (2025), directed by Glenn Leyburn & Lisa Barros D'Sa, and starring Éanna Hardwicke and Steve Coogan. I saw it at the Belfast Film Festival recently, and it's due to be screened at this year's Foyle Film Festival on November 23. boxd.it/bJDcAL

The DVD/BD of How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge) actually looks pretty impressive. Three audio commentaries! fabulousfilms.com/products/how...

Stewart Lee's latest article for The Nerve

Incredible stuff from Vic Berger

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Said it before, will say it again, the Epstein Files are THE story. Not the only story, but it's the story which can and will weaken and possibly bring down Trump and now the GOP and even many powerful man who have escaped accountability for years. Keep pushing and digging.

Republicans spent 10 years radicalizing their own base over QAnon. They promised to release the Epstein Files, which they said would be the proof and expose the conspiracy. What they failed to realize was Trump is at the center of it and the base wouldn't forget.

Happy 80th birthday to the legend Neil Young

and to think i watched videos of Michael Caine explaining the important parts of the art of acting and human interactions

This is such UTTER BULLSHIT. Wtf are they doing? You soon won't be able to trust that anything you hear or see in media is real anymore

The reason Amazon can't get Bond up and running is because every supervillain their ai script generator comes up with is just Jeff Bezos in a variety of wigs.

"No Mr Bond, I expect you to deliver 40-50 packages before your first piss break"

@herring1967.bsky.social "Woolly mammoth milk" would've been great

‘I once planned to sue the bbc for suggesting I encouraged an insurrection the time I encouraged an insurrection on live tv’

"Pedal panic", "flustered hesitancy". Just brilliant How Are You It's Alan (Partridge)

What will accountability look like for billionaires (or trillionaires) who try to overthrow our democracy? I have some ideas. Let’s imagine futures that aren’t fascist tech dystopias. Let’s hack the “hyperstition.” My conversation with @wajali.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Stewart Lee's latest article for The Nerve

Steve Coogan on The Late Late Show talking about Saipan (7 Nov)

Lynn’s rant at Alan in the last episode of How Are You? is one of the best things in Partridge ever.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Hits hard in your 40s

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Mid Morning Matters launched 15 years ago today. I am old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-ug...

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Did a lol at How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge) referring to white dads over 40 as "WD40"

This week: Deep Disillusionment with Stewart Lee. Does what it says in the title. And then some. #StrongMessageHere www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Bought this hifi twenty-odd years ago. Just noticed Alan Partridge has the same model. I really doubt Alan would make do with a budget Aiwa. Took me right out of the reality of the show.

From Charlie Kirk to CCHQ, the right has realised they can lie and not be challenged. Why? In this week’s column, Stewart Lee looks at the ways populists mislead modern voters

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule. All hands on deck.

Fuck Jimmy Carr. Why don't his LGBTQ mates on Cats Does Countdown etc bring him up on stuff like this

20 films ranked for Steve Coogan's 60th

All of this is 5* Alan aging like a fine wine.

Stewart Lee's new weekly column for The Nerve

God, I love Stewart Lee. Like I forget how much until I just hear him being interviewed and talking normally and he's so good for sorta recentering me and making sense of where things are

I've only just realised that Episode 4 of the brilliant 'How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge)' is very similar to the BBC's lovely '360º-selfie-cam-and-drones'-made 'Walking with...' series. A wonderful influence/gentle homage by the Gibbons, surely @neilgibbons.bsky.social ;)

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.
