If you could choose a film score to follow you around all day, what would it be? 🎼 For me… the ‘Tron: Legacy’ score by Daft Punk 🖤

Happy 80th Birthday to Ernie Hudson, whose many acting credits include HOLD IT, THIS GUY IS 80? WHAT????

Sometimes I even embarrass myself

"Can't put the genie back in the bottle," people keep saying about AI. But there was never a genie. That was a bottle of piss. Whether or not we can put the piss back in the bottle, we don't have to drink it.

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.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

Ahhhh, l’amour!

All of me would go, half would leave

When driving home for Christmas, always ensure you keep checking the Rea view mirror.

Thames Water has deferred £2.5m bonus, disguised as retention payments, to execs. First tranche of £2.5m already paid, millions more promised Bonus for what - fleecing customers, dumping sewage in ruvers, not investing, boosting profits? Let customers vote on exec pay/bonuses.

The joys of buying random Chinese things online

Scholarship at its absolute best

Great, now do a customs union and the single market.

I made tofu from an old carton of soy milk and some lemon juice and I feel so accomplished

Not saying the UK justice system is broken, but the hero who jumped into Paul Doyle’s car and saved people’s lives has just received the same cash prize as folk who send You’ve Been Framed clips of their cat jumping on a trampoline.

I mean, how could I say no to this little (very large) beauty at 91p?

The local post office has run out of not just 2nd class Christmas stamps but all 2nd class stamps. And airmail stickers. They will gladly sell you 1st class stamps at £1.70 a pop, but you have to buy a book of minimum 4 stamps. Bah humbug.

The High Court’s ruling that a six-year-old child must keep her father’s name goes against basic justice and the tide of reform, says @drproudman.bsky.social: goodlaw.social/o3de

There's one fact I want people to learn today, Capitalism isn't money. Money has existed for thousands of years, Capitalism only for about 500. Capitalism is the structuring of society so that a handful of people own everything and everybody else has to pay them to use it.

Recently published figures showing a huge drop don't take into account new restrictions introduced by this government. So further falls are very likely. To give one figure from the post in August 2023 we gave out 18,300 health/care worker visas. Last month it was just 600.

#AFragranceADay Giorgio Armani Si EDP. Another that I would never have bought for myself and have no idea why it's in my house. Not my style at all, bright and exuberant and fruity.

We are all that trombone

Les elections, partout dans le monde.

"If culture wars was going to fix anything we'd be absolutely thriving as a country." @zackpolanski.bsky.social outlines the differences between Reform's politics of division and the Green Party's politics of hope.

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright: - 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is) 🧵 1/2

This entire weekend

looks like the airline is unwilling to take my complaint through the web form, I can't sleep, and I'm cranky. So I sleuthed up their customer relations e-mail and sent them a nice and polite missive:

Wrap me in your manly arms like a trombone, Wang Yibo

I -

Booked my ticket for Gezhi Town. Cor, cinema tix are expensive these days.

If 'just doing your job' involves arresting and jailing infirm, elderly people of conscience for holding up a sign which condemns genocide, your job isn't really a job, it's a crime, and you've been recruited because you're a thug who is not capable of drawing that distinction.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social Just linked the horrendous attack in Australia to the UKs issues of small boat crossing. Utterly deplorable to even suggest people seeking refuge are all wishing harm on us. Sort out your dreadful speculation I have heard in the last 10 minutes.

I want seasons and seasons of this

Britain should also rejoin European civil protection - a practical solidarity mechanism to help each other when we are hit by floods, earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics, etc ukandeu.ac.uk/why-uk-shoul...

I feel like I'm going crazy trying to explain to people that it is unhealthy to be infected with any virus. There are no human viruses that are good for you. All human viral infections are bad for you. All viral infections are bad for your health. I don't know why this is so difficult to understand.

Tommy Robinson's Christmas Carol service featured two arrests - one for assault and another of a man suspected of homophobic abuse. And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from Stephen Cushion. www.enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/broadca...

To quote Penn Gillette, when people ask “If you don’t believe in God, what’s stopping you from murdering/raping/robbing everyone around you?!“ Dude… I have murdered/assaulted/robbed exactly as many people as I’ve ever wanted to. Zero. I don’t need a god to keep me from doing that. Why do you?

i put the pro in procrastinating. eventually

Niall Breslin has the most sumptuous, soothing voice. I could listen to him talk all day. Really enjoying this Christmas-themed evening.
