I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

From now on, every time I see an American post on here about American things, I'm just going to reply assuming they're talking about Yorkshire, and respond accordingly.

JFC!

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

More national anthems should have a key change. #Ireland #6nations

80) free speech is great but sometimes shutting the fuck up is good too.

LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not. 12/12

The bloke in the Rana pasta ad is boffing his Italian mother-in-law, I reckon.

Gotta go, my ride’s here.

I’m drinking Picpoul de Pinet, and as I always do on these occasions, blaming @mittendamour.bsky.social

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Without naming your job, tell us something you say over and over again at work. “Would you say it that way to your gran? Then why write it like that?”

In 1997, the Chuckle Brothers won the World's Biggest Sheep Competition with their two metre ewe.

Please help. My cat, I think he is broken.

Received an email re a wedding speech. So I give them a ring. Me:”Hi you emailed me about writing a wedding speech.” Punter:”Hi, eh I’m going to use AI now, but thanks.” There’s a pattern emerging here, folks…

(Rolls up sleeves) “Hey, what’s German for ‘I’m here to help’?”

Just a reminder that if you repost your last thirty posts in quick succession so that you take over my feed like a batshit crazy conquistador, I will mute you without hesitation. Be good enough to kindly get a grip.

Apparently there are some households that don’t even have a sombrero. I feel sorry for you. #FridayNightDrinkingHats

If Britain had a Department of Culture, it would be able to engage with this issue.

@thenewsatglenn.bsky.social watched “Will you still…” last night and want to thank you for the silliness of the M. Night Shyamalan joke. There was a tea-exiting-the-nose moment.

The Guardian reporting this tiny detail seems significant.

Jason Orange left Take That to form a rap duo, but it didn’t work out because he had trouble finding someone to rhyme with him.

Watching Attack of the Clones and marvelling at Haydn Christiansen’s technique.

From the official White House account, not realising that penguins are Antarctica not the Arctic. The White House also saying penguins and Trump have the same sized feet.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has called on Donald Trump to apologise for his "insulting and frankly appalling" comments about British troops in Afghanistan 👏

Watching an old series of Taskmaster and, no judging as they’re both single, it’s the one where one of the contestants definitely bumped uglies with Greg.

Trump in Davos, Switzerland: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German". German is the main language of Switzerland.

In Stranger Things, they repeatedly played that Kate Bush song to Max, so she stayed in touch with the real world and protected from Vecna. I reckon the vibe would have been different had her favourite song been Grandma’s Party by Paul Nicholas.

Has anybody done the Dignitas joke yet?

Oh yes, the bosses always heartily encourage hot-desking. But they’re silent on what you do when you inherit a mouse whose scroll-wheel has been worn smooth. *shudder*

What’s your sign?

Robert Jenrick complaining that the country is broken is like Fred West complaining that his patio is uneven.

Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.

Good afternoon from this lady of a certain age.
