If it's for entertainment purposes, then surely it shouldn't on company computers.

This BBC News Online piece will be the most effective publicity my new documentary about Flight into Danger gets. So if you have enjoyed the programme, think you may enjoy it, or are just a kind soul, if you could please share this anywhere you think it may be worth sharing, I'd be very grateful!

AND ON THE THIRD DAY THEY HAD A NICE CUP OF TEA ALSO

My daughter did an Easter activity day at the local church and made this. Doughnut Christ's tomb with Jaffa cake stone to roll away. Sacrilicious!

Rick Astley did the anti-milkshake duck. Started as a joke, earned our respect through good humor and humility, keeps earning our respect through those & his musical covers, did the house dad thing to raise his daughter, and is headed into graceful elderdom. Hats off to him.

I just bought an Airfix Spitfire kit so that makes me a fighter pilot. You must all nod politely and accept it

This is an April Fool's joke, sadly. There's a newer post on the same Instagram account admitting as much.

I've been writing a bit about how, in 1985, Chuck Norris overcame his initial skepticism and became an early adopter of killer drone tech filmstories.co.uk/news/code-of...

I feel like, in a sane world, there would be some law in place to prevent a search engine from choking off traffic to websites on a whim like this.

AI boosters and fence-sitters think viscerally negative reactions to AI are "irrational" but mass deployment of LLMs is actively destroying everything I care about (the open internet, the planet, creative industries, art, my ability to buy RAM). Total rejection is the most logical response.

Dark, satanic mills

This is an excellent article from @ryanlambie.bsky.social that nails some of the problems I had with Mercy. It's a rather authoritarian film, but I don't think that's intentional. It's just tone deaf and not really interested in examining its own politics. filmstories.co.uk/news/mercy-a...

So, so good. I remember seeing this as a teenager when Channel 4 aired it in the 1990s and it blew my feeble brain.

I've been writing about the captivatingly useless voyagers aboard the good ship Prometheus.

I'm a strong advocate of going big AND going home.

We all know the dream is to spend your life driving around in a van solving mysteries - and now you can with this Scooby-Doo-inspired Mitsubishi L300! Or, apparently, use it to promote your business. More on that and other #weirdcarbs nonsense this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/3c0a93

Hywell Bennett might have been up for a bit of cross-brand promotion.

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

I think I should be able to secure my mortgage against my collection of Star Wars action figures and Sega Mega Drive games. They have value and, unlike crypto, actually exist.
