Google reduced our headline “I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything” to just five words: “‘Cheat on everything’ AI tool.” It almost sounds like we’re endorsing a product we do not recommend at all. Read more from @seanhollister.bsky.social:

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A BLU-RAY OF MAUREEN LIPMAN BT ADS RESCANNED IN HD WITH COMMENTARIES

Mmm, lovely refreshing LEM NADE.

Earlier this week Smith and Sniff was sitting at number 129 in the chart of all podcasts. All podcasts. Every single one. And our shite. Considering Gary Lineker's company alone makes about 128 different podcasts, we're quite proud of that. Thank everyone.

I see this is back on iPlayer. My then boss (now retired) David Hay appears in it, and we all contributed lots of images, footage and information. It’s a great programme and, I’m told, one of the most popular episodes of the Timeshift strand.

Really top TV directing at Spurs v Palace tonight, just someone living their best life.

#OnThisDay 28 February 1991 Yvette Fielding and Diane-Louise Jordan take us behind the scenes of Studio 1 at the BBC Television Centre for #BluePeter.

Loaded was always a much more complicated beast than the clip show narrative had it. Have a listen…

#OnThisDay 1997 : Mark and Lard started their first regular Radio 1 breakfast show. It would run for just 8 months. #90s

Astonishing story of a DAB radio service having its IP transmission stream hijacked by its own streaming vendor to broadcast obscenities instead of the radio output for *30* mins! Seemingly, because of a contract dispute between the vendor & another mux provider! www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

Why won’t the mainstream media cover the most impactful product category of the last decade

Microsoft Outlook just asked me if I was ‘enjoying it’. A bit bold for an email client, I feel.

Winter Olympics day 1: male athletes allegedly inflating their penises. Winter Olympics day 2: a gold medalist named “Breezy Johnson”

Just beyond parody at this point

800 words on newspaper economics in a era where no one will pulp a magazine

I supported putting a break in the Circle Line at Edgware Road. But they should've changed its name. With the break it's not a circle. It's wrong and it's still not too late to rename it. If they called it the Marigold Line they wouldn't even need to change the colour on the map.

Very sad to hear of the passing of John Virgo. He never aged for me behind the microphone as the voice of Snooker. An absolute great.

This year rather than send out Christmas cards I’ve chosen to donate to the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery in London) which a year ago discovered and emergency removing my brain tumour. if you would also like to, here is how: www.nationalbrainappeal.org/get-involved... Thank you x

Tony #Mammoth, In-vision Continuity-ing like it's 1979.

Not the first time the British public have got it wildly wrong…

Went to see Radiohead, 28 years on from my first time. It was great. If you can, I do recommend spending your money on experiences that make you feel properly alive. You’re unlikely to regret it.

Steve Smith describing Pat Cummins as “an absolute weapon”, truly two nations divided by a common language.

Factoid: The 147 gave Alfa Romeo its 2nd European Car of the Year title in 3yrs & while it had arguably desirable looks, it joined an ever-lengthening list of cars bested by Ford’s all-conquering Focus in an Autocar group test 25yrs ago this week. Yes, 25yrs ago - you are that old… (📸: Autocar)

@reckless.bsky.social I've been wondering when Brendan would get involved: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The sound you hear is of cricketers all over the world laughing forever.

It was a year ago today I was in a hospital bed choosing my birthday lunch knowing that the next morning I was literally off to Brain surgery. So thank you all, optician that spotted something odd and of course all those NHS staff for enabling me to see another one. I remain humbled and grateful 💙

This is an unpopular position but: having worked with him a bit, I always thought Tim Davie was a highly competent leader and given his commercial instincts, was probably the best person to lead the BBC through its next charter renewal. I think this is very bad news for anyone who values the BBC.

Factoid: Archetypal ‘80s family car with the archetypal ‘80s grille accessory & frankly looks all the better for it… (The accessory being Hella’s neat grille/driving light set & one offered on many ‘80s cars)… (📸: Autocar)

Happy iOS 26.1 Day, everyone!

If you missed it live, here's another bit of silly fun, including Live Travel updates from Paul Briant in the Flamethrower Flying Eye* www.mixcloud.com/theflamethro... *Ford C-Max

The Wheel on BBC One basically has great radio sung jingles.

Following Engineering Works last Sunday we return tomorrow with your ideal Brunch accompaniment: 10 until 12am Sunday Loud Songs flamethrower.live

Don't think these are going to blind you at night...

Unclear to me what some of Labour’s critics on here *want*. If you oppose further tax rises, you support the status quo OR further cuts. It’s just that simple.

For the design nerds, here's Network Rail's official design manual for Rail Clock It incorporates a sonic pigeon deterrent. www.networkrail.co.uk/wp-content/u...

As much as I feel a Judas for saying it, the white Innocenti looks fabulously classy compared to our Series 3 with the AR logo on it.

Shout out to everyone whose night shift is an hour longer tonight

Know Your BL Colour: No: 67 Bianco Avorio The one, the only, the incredibly rare Innocenti Regent 1300, with some great pics from IG a/c Jagalfa. It also serves as a reminder that Innocenti-built BMC/BL cars had their unique colour range… (📸: IG a/c jagalfa)

I remember reading this news and turning to the guy in the university computer lab, and saying: "that's interesting, Apple have released a hard disk that can play music". Also, it's odd that the iPod and Windows XP were released in the same week (iPod Tue 23 Oct 2001, XP Thu 25 Oct 2001).

Am I going mad or could you once add an event to Google Calendar by typing it as spoken? "Dentists at 4pm tomorrow" I am sure I remember this...

Not blaming James for this, but a side-effect of this piece of bluffery is a lot of people on Bluesky claiming that "DNS is down" (it's not), and that that today's problems are being caused by a "massive cyber attack" (unproven, fairly unlikely, but possible).

The saviour of Sunday morning online radio returns this morning from 10am: Sunday Large Songs flamethrower.live and we’ve had our Weetabix. Be lovely to have you along..

I thought I'd take the opportunity to put together a website representation of these new Rail Clocks which launched yesterday. railclock.davwheat.dev Source code (MIT): github.com/davwheat/rai... And, don't worry, it does have the special flourish every 12 hours!

AI people keep showing up in my mentions to argue that I am not using their specific narrow definition of AI agents while the industry keeps promising magic computers that can listen and take consistent, reliable actions on arbitrary voice commands www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

Factoid: The Allegro 2’s launch ads focused on the changes but also achieved in making owners of the ‘Mk1’ model seem either stupid or gullible to buy it in the 1st place. In reality, the car was all-too-frequent BL occurrence of the ‘rethink’ model removing flaws the original shouldn’t have had…
