I want to wish all my friends around the world who are celebrating Easter a glorious weekend. For Christians, Easter is a time to reflect on the gift of Christ and his teachings to our world. For example, when asked which was the most important of the commandments, Jesus pointed to two:

Primary school teacher. Me and my colleague who teaches the other class take turns to make maths worksheets for both classes to do. Made him one where the answer to every single sum is 67 and you could hear the shrieks across the school.

Negotiating the Strait of Hormuz is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. Start off by navigating the safest route and then ease on carefully up the narrow passage. Finally, unload your cargo, say thank you very much and get out of there as quick as you can.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

People can debate AI all they like, but surely we can all agree that anyone who owns or uses a pair of the pervert glasses that secretly record people should be ostracised immediately and totally from our society? I'm sorry but your pervert glasses prove you're a pervert! Get out of town!

Today I am thinking about the fact that we only saw Vimes with his son. Can you imagine if they’d had another and it was a daughter?

Not to crowdsource my work but I grew up without a TV! For our sitcom, I need a list of very very famous ads from British TV over the years. Please link your favourite ones below and they may end up being a key plot point that saves the day. No pressure!

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Well the new Apple glass update looks shit.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

A long time ago, a friend opined to me "you really have to have nothing whatsoever in your own life to be proud of, to have to resort to being proud of where you were born". The phrase has never left me since, nor been disproven.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

A wild #AbsoluteUnit (weighing in at 197 stone, 8lbs, or 1.254 tonnes apparently) spotted, requires mandatory reporting to @themerl.bsky.social.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Can’t decide if Aziraphale owns this purely to mess with Crowley, or this is his pen-name.

The World Bank’s latest data shows a quiet global triumph: 93% of people aged 15 to 24 can now read and write. In many regions youth literacy has reached or neared universal levels, marking one of the most successful, least reported stories in development. buff.ly/vnsUhLo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Random question but how well can you see underwater without goggles? Films always show people actually finding stuff underwater. I’d always assumed vision was low and they were using creative licence but it’s occurred to me that I’m horribly short sighted and that may be a factor…

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Had to go out in the car this evening. Lightning but no thunder, and rain so heavy I only knew where the road was thanks to the lights of the car in front and the catseyes. Crawled along and would have pulled over if I could see the side of the road enough to know I could. 0/10 do not recommend.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Are you a UK or Ireland-based designer looking to get started in the industry? Penguin UK has launched its cover design awards and this year, the focus is fantasy – and one of the two titles is Terry Pratchett's Night Watch. More details: terrypratchett.com/news/calling...

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

This bound volume of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and volume I of The Ghost Seer by Friedrich Schiller is exactly what we need at this time of year! These illustrations depict iconic moments from the stories, though Schiller's tale remains unfinished…

There's a lot going on here. Not least the cameo appearance of Captain Blackadder.

People laugh at Aziraphale for thinking Major Milkbottle was a real human being as though he doesn't live in a world populated by real humans with names like Device, Sandwich, Pepper, and Wensleydale.
