Craig David, woah

Apparently #TheTraitors is adding a new Red Cloak role.

To be fair, I posted this quite a lot.

MTV2 was on pretty much non-stop in my shared student house in the last year of uni, but you had to stop what you were doing whenever this came on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rR...

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Ten years since I made this and it got picked up by various news sites too, I guess!

one of the funniest things that ever happened online was when Mike posted this beautiful wood bowl for sale on twitter for $25, i bought it, and when it showed up it was two inches tall. absolutely tiny. exquisitely made, but also very small. it still makes me laugh when i see it. rest in peace

I never realised before that the Hackers movie poster used the ‘you wouldn’t steal a car’ font

@carsondial.bsky.social I have to imagine this would be your bag

Both Hades and Silksong featuring in questions on the University Challenge Christmas Specials. I always wondered why videogames don’t feature in more quiz shows given their prominence in popular culture.

Bit down about the match today. Less so the score than the performance, which I’m hoping is more to do with match fitness with flu ravaging the squad than any kind of portent. But it’s also a positive sign that we’re still 8 points clear of second in spite of that! #pusb

From Reddit: ‘A DR Congo fan stood for 90+ minutes during the game vs Senegal, honoring Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba. The first PM of DR Congo, he was killed by a firing squad. His body was dissolved in sulfuric acid, by Belgium/USA allies trying to protect Congo's minerals’

Because I’m an idiot I thought today’s match was a 3pm kickoff, and since I have crippling anxiety about matches I’m not physically at, stayed dark. I assumed there’d be PL matches on, so wandered down the road from my in laws to watch a game. Next match on? Cov vs Ipswich in half an hour. FML #pusb

Merry Christmas, Boro fans!

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

I see Mark Chadbourn, who has blocked me for previously pointing out his habit of sharing work uncredited to the original creator, is sharing the old London names map without crediting its creator, Matt Brown bsky.app/profile/levp...

People who steal content for clicks are as bad as AI.

This is the level of tactility I aspire to in car controls

Also, the Italians claimed to have invented it when actually it’s something they found in the Middle East.

If you ever visit the shops in Richmond, there’s a Big Issue seller there with a crutch, and I’m about 99% certain he’s a con artist. He’s been there for years before he got the badge, and I’ve witnessed him walking normally away from his usual spot.

My daughter has been running around singing the lyrics to ‘Golden’ (not for the first time) and it just hit me. *We're goin' up, up, up, it's our moment You know together we're glowin' Gonna be, gonna be golden* #pusb

Loki (2021) was possibly the last unequivocally great thing Marvel Studios made. Amazing production design. Fantastic soundtrack. And it really is a great story.

The Gantt Chart is back!

Nothing quite like a gift reminding you of your increasingly decrepit and failing husk: a daily medication box.

Santa was just flying over Ukraine on NORAD’s live tracker and the stream abruptly ended. Did the Russians shoot down Santa???

Ordering something in; anyone want anything? The Food Channel has been back up and running on WiiLink24 for a while now, with Dominos once again available for actual ordering in North America, and simulated storefronts for everywhere else to browse around.

Cars are bad.

Just an Evri driver casually stealing the Christmas card left for our postie in our letterbox. Shameless.

If Christmas is hard or shit or you are struggling a bit, and you think I can help with some nice words or stupid jokes or trivia about pop music, please pop me a DM. I have been in some of the shittiest places at Christmas and if I ca empathise/help/distract/entertain, I will. PEOPLE LOVE YOU.

This is a fantastic story, via Reddit:

Op-Ed from Mr Nitup

Andrew Tate getting his face mashed by someone who isn't even a proper boxer is the Sunday morning story you need.

Why do so many rich people have absolutely garbage taste?

Alexander Isak to his agent: “I want that move to Liverpool, no matter what it takes.”

Just saw this and momentarily scrolled past without thinking, assuming it was an advert. Then I remembered this is Bluesky.

This menace was a guest at the Barnes Children’s Literature Festival less than 6 months ago. It’s not just their own employees HarperCollins threw under the bus by not acting sooner.

This is fucking epic.

Sorry who?

It’s always the ones you most expect.

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

This is so completely accurate. Also: I’ve been saying for years that marking anything out of 10 is stupid. The more granular a rating the more it messes with perceptions. Amiga games used to be scored in magazines as a percentage! Ridiculous.
