"Is this finally rock bottom for Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor?" asks a BBC headline. Let's hope not!

Can there be a follow-up episode about what extroverts can do to be less extroverted in the workplace? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Hat tip to those who have been running *towards* ICE.

I've been learning a couple of Billy Bragg songs on guitar this morning, and so loaded Workers Playtime onto my phone just to have a listen to them at the gym. Only then did I realise what t-shirt I had randomly selected today. I guess it's a Billy sort of day. #therevolutionisjustatshirtaway

Having seen depictions of the planned ballroom... leave it as rubble.

Eighties lyrics were never Shakespeare, but this morning on Radio Caroline I woke to... There you were, that'll teach ya To look so good and feel so right Let me tell ya 'bout the girl I met last night ...which has to be some sort of low point.

I'm using the 3I/ATLAS story to prune my science feeds. Breathlessly overhype and you're gone.

Billy Corgan, Stephen Wolfram, and Trump should never fly in the same airplane, lest we America's strategic egoism reserves at risk.

Context-free comments on live sporting events you're watching... Stop that shit already.

It is not too late for Donald Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize if Mike Pence has the courage.

I'm sure Trump will come out and say it was an honor just to be nominated.

I think Trump will soon figure out that he foolishly forgot to stack the Nobel Prize committee.

BBC6 sang happy birthday to Thom Yorke this morning. Now I'm just picturing him with a cone-shaped paper hat on, grinning, and blowing out the candles.

Nobel Prize in Physics announced tomorrow. My prediction: Trump.

For three days I've been basically vibe coding, but with config files. This is my life now apparently.

I woke to Land Of Confusion on Radio Caroline this morning: "There's too many men/Too many people/Making too many problems" PHIL COLLINS WAS TRYING TO WARN US, BUT DID WE LISTEN? WE DID NOT. Maybe he should have dumbed it down for us a little.

Hegseth's teleprompter: ... TO OUR ENEMIES: F.A.F.O.! [wait for applause] [tell everyone to be seated]

As a child, I thought the Beatles song "When I'm 64" was a song which asked the musical question, will you still love me when I'm old? Now that I'm a bit older, though, I realise that it's actually asking, will you still love me when I'm middle-aged?

Is "offsetting my AI usage" a valid reason to go vegetarian?

Get 'em, David. The lineup already reads like the Assholes Of Comedy tour, but it's another level entirely to take part in the comedy-washing of a brutal repressive regime. officialdavidcross.com/blogs/press/...

I'm glad that shows that feature Piers Morgan and Bill Maher are always labelled as such, like they do with allergens.

Inevitable, isn't it, that at some point in your life they'll pick a Super Bowl halftime performer that you've never heard of. Anyone know a retirement home where they wheel you out onto the lawn on nice spring days?

Driving home we came up with better nav announcements for the satnav. "Prepare to drive left. No, your other left." "Fine, go your own way, I'm only working off a detailed internal map here." "You're driving like a bell-end. Why don't I just direct us into a lake and maybe save a few lives?"

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How long before MAGA march on the Vatican for failing to beatify Kirk?

Who can forget all the times that Fox News used "We're just an entertainment program, no one could possibly be expected to take us seriously" as a legal defense, AND IT WORKED. Not sure why that popped into my head just now.

My apologies to Nottingham Forest FC and their fans. This is my fault -- I decided to start supporting you this year.

It must suck to be a vampire, waking up in your coffin in the middle of the day and having to pee.

I can only assume we'll be also tracking down government employees who criticised Jimmy Carter after his death late last year, and firing them.

Some new blues playing in the radio, but it was the same old shit. I thought Ralph Macchio was going to take blues in a new direction like forty years ago.

People should be fired for NOT thinking Charlie Kirk was an odious bigot.

Is the phrase "price point" ever used in a context where it can't just be replaced with "price"?

"Eh, it's biodegradable" people think when they drop food on the ground. As a dog owner, please, pick it up anyway and put it in a bin.

I hate buying socks, because I know if they end up sucking, I'm going to wear them anyway, for like a year or two at least.

Kind of glad we won't have to see Trump try to glom onto Team USA's glory in the coming World Cup, as it's pretty clear we won't have any.

I've probably fished 100 fruit flies out of red wine glasses in my life. It's a hazard that comes with regular tippling in the back garden.

If you haven't unsubbed from the Washington Post and New York Times yet, how much worse do they need to get?

I've decided that that shitty synth-heavy music they play at gyms should be called Lactic Acid House.

I think a lot of people have misconstrued the old maxim, and think that if you're outraged, it means you're paying attention.

I think both sides can agree that if Trump is ill, he should do whatever RFK Jr recommends.

Whoever's in charge of dogs, please address these design flaws: 1. "Stressed" face looks identical to "happy" face. 2. Lifespan ridiculously short. 3. Despite #2, can still get cancer. Please fix, kthx.

It's time to decide once and for all whether they should be called Merge Requests or Pull Requests.

The Tayvis wedding could be the gossip sheets' juiciest story in years. But, Tayvis have asked for privacy. Quite a dilemma for the paparazzi!

Nice Melbourne cafe. Wonder if they're a chain? #mathematics #mathjokes

How many times do I have to select "Show less like this" on posts tagged #bb27 (fucking Big Brother) before I start getting fewer posts about it? I have never given the slightest inkling of giving a shit about this show, and I get no posts about any other show, AT ALL.

Just played on BBC6. It's been a while since I instantly liked a song. youtu.be/kTzlN5I2vek?...

Trying to avoid buying through Amazon, I bought something via a promoted ad on eBay... Turns out I bought it through a reseller who is ordering it for me and shipping it via Amazon. Don't be me :(

DJs, when they are mentioned in song lyrics, receive a lot of disrespect. Sometimes even death threats. This is why I'm writing a song called Perhaps The DJ Would Be More Comfortable In An Administrative Role.

We started watching Colin From Accounts in part to remind us of Australia, but also just for some light fun. Though it's farcical at times and on occasion gets a little TOO awkward, the two leads are just great actors with great timing and chemistry and it seems to be getting better as it goes on.

The "Art Of The Deal" guy is such a fucking brilliant dealmaker.
