Mark Goodier's surname comes from a risky 7 in Countdown that didn't turn out to be in the dictionary. #TOTP

These 1999 #TOTP episodes remind me why I stopped watching in 1998.

I had some people round for dinner last night, and I tried to impress them with a sauce created from vodka, gravy and nitrous oxide. But all I've done is make myself an absolut laughing stock.

Not sure about this Jason & The Argonauts reboot.

On the one hand, bloody hell, Boro - 70% possession and 20 shots. On the other, pleased I put a few quid on Pompey when they were 7/1. #UTB

Cor. Those parachutes. Bet the Tunnocks Teacakes people paid through the fucking nose for that.

I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

the Weezer "Buddy Holly" video is a (now 3-decade-old) 90s artifact nostalgically referencing a 70s artifact that itself is nostalgically referencing the 50s and i have a headache

Who called them coffee shops and not Costa mongers?

This this this this this. Ideas are easy and cheap and ten-a-penny. Turning those ideas into actual work is the valuable thing.

Trump is the only bull who carrries around his own china shop with him.

Since 2018 Italy have qualified for more men’s cricket world cups than men’s football world cups.

Touchel’s #England has only played 3 teams in the world top 20 rankings Senegal 1-3 Uruguay 1-1 Japan 0-1 So glad we hounded Southgate out, he couldn’t do it against the “big teams” and always played “negative football” 🤨

artificial intelligence hallucinations? more like aislops fables

Once again, Asimov's I, Robot deals with the problems of this. All involved with AI should read it.

Probably the worst thing about the clocks going forward is having to rotate your entire henge 30°

Ugarte be kidding me, ref! (You've got to be) #England #ref

I told you all you told me I was lying. Nigel Farage and Reform are going to come for Gay marriage and women’s abortion rights.

Donald Trump is so thick he's managed to achieve Quadruplethink.

John Terry's just turned up in his Morocco kit to accept the trophy.

Quite - anyone with a soul must feel it the hollowest of victories.

In Botswana, climbing the country's highest mountain, visiting the world's first vulture sanctuary and a 180k bike ride to Gaborone (of which I managed 17k and spent the rest of it in the back of the pickup truck).

A future where you're not allowed to think for yourself, you are obliged to do what the AI tells you. But that's already happening - see episode 3 of AI Confidential with Hannah Fry. And it's happening in healthcare - the computers make decisions, not trained medical staff.

I’ve been thinking about this since I read it and the most chilling thing about Altman’s ambition is that he’s not talking about intelligence as a matter of knowledge. He’s talking about the ability to think. To solve complex problems. Arguably the driving force behind human evolution.

Gotta love an American having a go at us for turning up to a war late.

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

Everyone developing AI should have to read Asmiov's I, Robot. It has stories about things like this.

I've just had an amazing idea

My little dog keeps biting on my guitar pedal. Well, he is a chewwahwah.

That Wrexham VAR decision can fuck right off. At a corner defenders have every opportunity to get in place, it's hardly an unfair advantage. Letter of the law perhaps, but it's a shit alphabet.

Iran will be run by a different guest Ayatollah every week, but somehow every third week it will be Alexander Armstrong.

No-one's happier than me that Jos is in double digits. Except perhaps his wife, and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. #EngVInd

If there was ever a moment for Jos to prove his doubters wrong...

But Keir I thought you.......loved me

Really quite something that Farage spent 4 days whining and making wild unfounded accusations of election fraud, then completely skips the commons debate on the elections bill.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

🔴Nigel Farage’s Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party’s election defeats on “cheating” by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found, reports @josiahmortimer.bsky.social

You'd think people would be pleased at getting a rest from watching Leeds.

Spurs away to Lincoln in the league next season is looking increasingly likely.

They want $60 for an hour at the axe throwing place? For that money I can buy a case of beer and my own axe, and throw it at whatever I want until I'm arrested again

Trump’s attack on Iran has me seriously questioning the legitimacy and value of the FIFA Peace Prize

Was hoping for a Buttler return to form today, with no pressure to win today. Feels like a final indignity though.

According to Farage and Goodwin, Islamists en masse voted for the LGBT+ friendly white woman who represents a party run by a gay Jewish man.
