This is probably me being ridiculously naive, especially as I've done a lot of work around various aspects of the far right threat, but it never once occurred to me that siding with the islanders might be a reasonable position. I suppose I'm just not into child-abusing murder cults all that much.

Read an article abuut AI job interviews. Absolutely fuck that. From the first communication to the moment I leave the building I'm checking the company out to see if they're worth my time. Interviews go both ways, but this puts all the power on their side. If they can't be bothered, nor can I.

In a post promoting the British Army and their actions, Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, actually used footage of Bloody Sunday. There are no words.

Paperback is out today - I am probably visiting a bookshop or library near you Swindon, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Pontypridd and many more www.robinince.com

Watching Independence Day: Resurgence on a whim. I didn't know this existed, and now I can see why. I'm not sure anyone needed this.

This is the greatest scam email of all time. I now want to start every email with “Yourself there, take good note”. I salute you, random Argentine scammer who cranked the ChatGPT Oirish setting up to 11

Well, I suppose I've been a bit romantic about the idea that I'll buy the games that I have on my wishlist. *Removes Monument Valley 3*

Watching that episode of Mythbusters where they wanted to see if they could destroy a car with sound pressure from a giant sub, but then went and bought a 400 SEL to use as a test platform. I mean, lads. Come on. Unless it's nuclear powered sub you're on a sticky wicket there.

Do we really need to be asking if a famous poltergeist case was real or a hoax when it's incredibly well documented as a hoax and has been for a couple of hundred years?

No zoo is allowed to have six baby capybaras until we've all got one.

Spotted a smooth newt on the front step earlier, which was unexpected as I don't live particularly near water. I don't think I've ever seen one on the property before.

Neil cares not for your silly human whims. Neil does Neil, and that's all you need to know.

You should. I have one. It's so vibrant in real life it punches you in the eyeballs and steals your lunch.

Brilliant idea! Remind me again, how many people can live in it?

If the job is just mindless traipsing please remind me why they get paid £94k a year plus as many expenses as they can fiddle, and then walk into a cushy position with whichever multinational they sucked up to.

I'm sick of these people. Spending all day drunk, rarely turning up for work, having their food and housing subsidised by the rest of us, doing dodgy work on the side and keeping it quiet from the taxman, openly lying and cheating without any conscience... we really need to do something about MPs.

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

Rewatching Alita Battle Angel. I dfon't think this got the credit it deserved for being an entertaining cyberpunk knockabout. Probably one of the best live-action manga adaptations

*Tears up life lottery ticket* No point now someone's already won the jackpot.

FREE EMU WITH EVERY STAMPEDE!

I don't understand how these are legal. I've had to use all my willpower to put them back in the cupboard so I don't batter the entire bag. Cocaine is over.

I am in a place with things. It is good.

After much deliberation I decided to have a birthday today, and after a lot less deliberation I decided I deserved a new creative toy. This is going to take some getting used to, but it's fun so far :)

Winding down after a LONG week by chaining episodes of The Rest Is Science, and feeling equally enthralled and dumb as a bag of hammers. Doesn't half make me feel clever when Hannah or Michael start to relate a story and I think 'oooh I know this one!' :)

This is absolutely terrible news. Elephants hate getting stuff lodged in their feet. Hope they're OK.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Friday happiness, because fuck, we all need it.

Can we please find whoever wrote the scripts for The Crew Motorfest and convince them never to use words again, ever, for anything?

Straub there, just Straubin' away like the righteous motherStrauber he is. I am here for this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Ql...

If you play Gran Turismo 7, tomorrow's update will contain a Mk1 Twingo. That's all you need to know really :)

If Brotato is a fun house party where you know most people will leave by midnight, Vampire Survivors is an impromptu knife fighting tournament in a crack house full of zombies and you're up. Now.

The spacesuits might not be ready because we gave the contact to a company that's never made a spacesuit, and the company that has keeps changing interface parts so they don't fit, and we never specified what a spacesuit actually is anyway. Fuckadoodledoo... www.theregister.com/2026/04/21/n...

LOL.

'Throw it in the pool' is going to be my new default advice for anything broken that I can't be arsed to deal with.

Not the best quality, but this is the only full online copy I've found of the time Seth Lakeman teamed up with Moorish Delta 7 for a live collaboration. Magic stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=slp0...

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are still on iPlayer if you'd like a surprisingly resilient insight into how this bollocks tends to play out.

I can't take the idea of a civil servant called Olly seriously. I feel like they'll get him up there and he'll just say something about tinned sardine companies having to offer replacement keys, or banning kazoos after 9pm.

I checked this too. *20 seconds* of Reform logo display. *No other* party logo displayed. In local election purdah. This is not normal. At all.

I mentioned to a colleague that I was going to a car show (Rustival) and she said her 9 year old lad was just getting into cars. I told her that it was the most positive intro to the scene imaginable. Her husband took him and he had a blast, with everyone answering his questions and offering seats.

Is he going to roll his sleeves up or just tut a bit more? I don't think he's quite ready for an eyeroll just yet.

Getting ridiculously pissed off with AI fake musicians bombarding platforms used by real musicians. Just saw one that didn't ring true so I did an image search and oh - I know the photos of Rachel Goswell / Fairuza Balk / Toni Halliday that were ripped off for those headshots...

The Korean movie industry has been ramping up its horror chops for some time, but I think it might be about to find a whole new gear when it comes to zombies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EAI...

Fully Rustivaled up to the eyeballs. Good people, good cars, good weather, good pork pie (cheers Rich), good time :) Now going through the process of seeing people's pictures and shouting I WALKED ALL ROUND THE PLACE - WHERE WAS THAT PARKED?!?!

Ad written by a six year-old whose favourite food is oats:

I taught myself to juggle at college, sitting on the grass with three rocks I pulled out of the border. If you don't shy away from the hard knocks, you pay close attention and reach an understanding a lot faster. This is all of those in one. Rhiannon continues to be an amazing human in new ways.

'At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.'

Car felt a bit draggy so I've just checked and I have a lightly sticking rear caliper. The wheel spins with just a bit of zinging, but it's drawing a lot of heat. Great. That'll probably fuck up my Rustival plans this weekend. The one moment of enjoyment to look forward to in an utterly shitty week.

AT LEAST GIVE ME A CUTE CARTOONY ANIMAL TO LOOK AT UNTILL ALL THE FAIL HAS BEEN SWEPT UP
