As a Londoner, I enjoy pedantically pointing out the errors in depictions of London. Here in the intro to Victorian Romance Emma, we can see Portcullis House to the right of Westminster Bridge. This building was constructed between 1998 and 2001, so would have not existed in Victorian times.

So what is the US going to do if a tanker tries to pass their blockade? Are they going to fire on the tanker? Are they pirates now? Does Trump want to be the Pirate King?

This is why I haven't watched terrestrial TV in like 20 years.

Yay, still getting ID'd in my 40s. The secret is white tea.

I sometimes think about how well Yoda Stories captured the true essence of Yoda

I feel like a lot of my podcasts that used to be about specific topics are now just about the terrible state of all things.

Current metal state: Going to make a tea and finding the last tea I made and forgot about which is now very stewed and cold, but drinking it anyway.

I did the Big Ben tour recently. We were in the belfry at 1pm. We weren’t allowed to take photos, but it basically looked like this.

Gemini is done up to the nines.

I swear, Watford gets the weirdest rain clouds.

I'm over here not reading the Foreword, the Introduction, the Notes on Text, and I'm ignoring the Suggestions for Further Reading. Come at me, Literati.

Good news! Our game has added customisable player housing. Now typical quest rewards will be: 51 Gold A Superior Quality Gear Item A choice between - * An ugly footstool * A ratty runner * A wicker basket

Guy was calmly sat reading a time management book on the tube today, then got up to switch to a packed Fast train at Harrow-on-the-Hill. Guess the book is working.

See, when you force choke your subordinates at the drop of a hat, no-one going to risk telling you that your helmet is dusty.

Everywhere I lived I've always been suspicious the local council tree services. I'm sure they started with good intentions, but they always seem to have turned into sneaky unaccountable institutions that fundamentally hate trees. "We found a single brown spot on a leaf, it's all gotta go."

Hello please enjoy my new incredibly niche project. I will continually RT the post to my own followers in growing desperation about the lack of engagement. This will accomplishing nothing but annoying them, but also making them a bit sad. You'd think I'd be marketing it elsewhere, but no. Only RTs.

Remember quinoa? Haha, what were we thinking. The 2007-2013s were so wacky.

It's not what you think, he went down for money laundering

Things I learned from Millennium - Just don’t even wear your evil cufflinks. Wear normal ones.

Ian's "How good are these dang LLMs" challenge - tic tac toe. (Free accounts, I ain't paying for this shit) ChatGPT came up with a sensible text based input system. It played sensibly, kept track of what was going on and it played to a draw.

While we're legally dismantling Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, can we give him like a worse surname? Suggestion: Andrew Nonceman

Appliance manuals are always like: "To Descale: Add 5 parts vinegar to 1 part water. Set machine to boil the vinegar over a period of 4 hours. Make sure to use a non-ventilated area. This must be done every 2 weeks."

I'm giving ChatGPT and F on the book report.

Anyone have a good sturdy gibbet?

Welcome to Starmerwatch 2026

Look, I'm just saying we need to train Youtube Premium's "Jump Ahead" feature to skip past the part in the video where they spend 15 minutes giving FAR TOO MUCH history / context about something before getting to the thing the video was supposed to be about. But first we need to go back to 89 BC whe

Tech Billionaires pivoting from AI to Humanoid Robots: "Doesn't everyone want to own C-3PO?" Do I really have to explain why I wouldn't want to own a robot slave just to get me stuff from the fridge? I'm pretty good at doing that already.

My consolation is that people have to call milk “Normal Milk” now

The oven repair firm just cancelled, and now I'm researching replacing a heating element myself. If this all goes bad, tell them I died doing what I loved - ignoring safety warnings.

My youtube algo really wants me to hate Starfleet Academy. But I don't, it's fine! Can't make me!

Anthropic study outcome: By not learning anything, people don't learn anything

Normal Leasehold business

Is this that enshittification thing I've heard tell about?

What’s up?

- Jensen Huang wants us to be less negative about AI - John Carmack wants everyone to go back to Twitter - Jeff Bezos says local PC hardware is "antiquted" and wants everyone to use (his) cloud computing Why is anyone listening to these fucks. The last person I want to hear from is all CEOs

Youtube Video: "Why <film> is the worst movie ever!" Contents: 20 minutes explaining the plot. No actual criticism.

Amazon is such a shithole. Even trying to buy an HDMI cable, it's nothing buy dodgy fake companies selling highly rated products with obviously AI written reviews.

New Samsung TV has an AI Vision mode. It's supposed to intelligently adjust the settings to match the content and environment. Mostly though it just makes everything a bit too blue.

(Rewatching the DHMIS TV Songs) 🎵There's so much we don't understand🎵 🎵Like who really built the pyramids🎵 "People!"

The sales seem more honest these days

BBC Sherlock has a lot to answer for

Remember to travel to your nearest big Tesco and experience the traditional festive argy-bargy. For best results, bring about 17 kids with you (Just borrow your neighbours) and see if you can create a trolley bottleneck that can't physically be resolved without removing the shelving units.

For some reason everyone ends thinking the building on the right is the Bank of England. It’s just a fancy mall with a Fortnum & Mason and a Tiffany in. The one on the left is the bank.

The Scots are right, Jan 2nd should be a bank holiday.

I'm worried I'm going to spend more of the break watch X-Files episodes than one ought to. It's a good worried though.

My one sentence horror story - "Oh, I only read non-fiction."

Didn’t they teach paragraphs at Quantico Scully?
