A good morning to everyone apart from the winged creatures of the night who spent their entire evening clattering into my head.

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone.

Off to Tesco for some chicken soup. Anyone want anything?

At some stage perhaps the UK should plan some actual hot-weather infrastructure, rather than panic buying fans from Argos every May.

When you’re given £5m “for security”, but your phone still gets hacked and everyone finds out you were given £5m “for security”. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Henry the Hover comes from a proud tradition of British slapstick characters - clumsy loveable oafs doing menial jobs. It’s like cleaning with Frank Spencer. Ho ho Henry’s wrapped himself in his cord again. Now he’s tumbled down the stairs. Now his head has come off and he’s blowing dust everywhere.

I’ve only just become aware of this glorious Basil / Clash creation by @sirpaintalot.bsky.social - magnificent work jimll.co.uk/products/bas...

I have no skin in this game, and wish both teams well. But just based on these photos, if I had to cast one team as the plucky underdogs and the other as their rich and powerful rivals, I know which way round it would be.

This is an interesting overview of the debate about AI at Cannes. It seems to be getting a bit more nuanced than previous years. Still, the only positive reasons given for using AI in films seems to be: 1. You can use AI babies rather than have real babies on set 2. You can make movies cheaper

Titanic’s maiden voyage was mostly successful

Oh no no no no no no no no no. Hell no. Abso-fucking-lutely not. No!

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drury Lane Ham. This is an actor gag, surely?

Promoting my book about indignation at the Hey! Literary Festival

Who will be performing the Diana Ross roll in the World Cup opening ceremony? Trump maybe?

Hmmm. What should you do if life gives you lots of lemons? It’s a puzzler. Better write to the Guardian food magazine.

I wonder if BlueSky’s collective knowledge of Doctor Who is absolute. Is there any question about the show that someone here wouldn’t know?

Farewell Judith Chalmers. She was making ‘famous person on holiday’ TV way before it became 90% of the TV schedule.

This list heavily biases people who buy nice clothes. Where’s the list for people who buy horrible cheap clothes?

Quis vetodiet ipsos vetodes?

This has got to be a deeply embarrassing headline for a professional footballer.

I love Bluey. There’s so much written into each episode. It’s the most watched TV show on the planet because it recognises that you should put *more* into stuff aimed at children, not less.

There’s a lot to unpick here. Not least, coffee flavour Smarties?

He’s looking more and more like an Illumination animation character.

This a great - basically a bottle episode. Surely a podcasting first? Like an eerie Pine Barrens in Essex.

What’s the opposite of threatening us with a good time? Enticing us with dog turds?

UINTED KINGDOM and THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Tix: bit.ly/GBEEF26

Absolutely shocked to discover Roadrunner says “beep beep”, not “meep meep”.

Sweaty Ass Print On Rowing Machine Already Fading Like All Of Our Earthly Works

Stop making things “conversational”. We all bought computers to avoid having to speak to people.

What’s the charge? Filming a drill? A succulent set piece drill?

Would this include the retired? How about those living off inherited wealth?

They can’t make big budget comedy shows like this anymore because they’re just too expensive.

From the latest Private Eye, out now.

“FFS”

UK to rejoin the EU on Wednesdays only

I wonder what Jeremy Bentham would have thought if told that in its 200th year UCL’s communications team would no longer know the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
