Congratulations to my neighbours for showing that they've had enough of the Tories (by electing a Reform councillor instead 🤦).

The man leaves a legacy of fine performances - RIP

Farage want to end homeworking?I work for an integrated care board that manages the NHS in my area. We decide what services are needed and try and ensure they are run properly. The Tories cut our budget by 30%. Now we can't afford offices. Will Reform increase spending to provide us with offices?

Bloody hell, 48? Awful news.

Little known fact: Albert Bridge was once home to Britain's last remaining sandworm population.

Shabana Mahmood: I want to build the panopticon. Amazon: do try to keep up.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about. Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards. From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

Phantasm 1 to 4 added to Amazon Prime, and this description of the first film is priceless.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Sympathy for Keir Starmer, how was he to know that the Prince Of Darkness wasn't to be trusted?

15 years on from X-Men Origins, and this technology hasn't improved at all.

An evening of Talking Heads appreciation.

Got another Catan expansion for my birthday. 😁

Nick Timothy's failing upwards, I see.

Sunday, is it? 😞🫸 Cooking 😃👉 Eating

The death of a legal observer in Minnesota by ICE is a warning to the UK in so many ways. We’re tying ourselves to a violent, corrupt, racist nation which does not care about its citizens. Reform believes in its model, Labour is appeasing it. It is the public who will suffer.

Several years too late, I fear.

The really weird thing about these interviews from Air Force One is that it looks like he's been stopped on his way to the toilet. He's constantly trying to disappear behind the doorframe, like he has somewhere he really needs to be. I dunno, maybe that's how it works?

The US is known as "the world's policeman" because it's corrupt, racist, and eager to use violence.

The US deposing foreign leaders and installing their own puppet governments always ends well, right?

We now go live to a Magic 8-ball, which is about to give a statement...

This is quite an important point; if you are a UK citizen with Twitter on your phone, opening it up is like playing Russian roulette that the algorithm might commit a strict liability offence on your behalf.

Netflix putting the new Ricky Gervais special in my Recommendations, after I've put "👎 Not for me" against the last 3, isn't doing much to convince me that machine learning algorithms are any good at predictive modelling.

In 2026, I shan't be learning Photoshop, so this is as good as it will get.

Me: *walking serenly through the Luton Arndale(/Mall/Point/whatever), my hair out if its usual ponytail, and a goattee/mustache on my face* Local man: *pointing* "JESUS CHRIST!" My blessings were upon him.

Merry Christmas, the internet.

CROOKED Sadiq Khan sent me a PCN on CHRISTMAS EVE, because the INCOMPETENT TfL can't sort out their own BILLING system. Anyway, I'm Donald Trump, now.

this gotta be the worst aged movie poster of all time man

Topical, and quite delightful. RIP, Chris, and thanks for the music. www.theguardian.com/culture/2016...

And there was me hoping that Anthony Joshua would have to flee the boxing world, head to a small village, take the cloth, and then solve an improbable murder case with the help of an eccentric detective.

A Labour minister urging workers to cross a picket line? What happened to solidarity, Wes?

"You say that landlord isn't a real job, but just the other day i had to insist that my tenant paid me more money." Oh man, I love You And Yours.

Cos I only knew him as a director, and we never had the US version of Til Death over here, I never realised Rob Reiner was America’s very own Randy Scouse Git.

Spotted "NULLIUS IN VERBA" spray-painted onto a bridge over the M1, and either we've developed a high class of delinquent, or the Royal Society is getting pissed off.

I bet you think Animal Farm is political.

Nice one, Spidey.

Four Candles and Dead Parrot are fine and everything, but I'm still going to stick my neck out and say this is the best sketch ever on telly.

Follow up series about the slightly unhinged art that used to grace GPU boxes.

I propose a solution to our ongoing RAM shortage:

"President Trump wins inaugural Fifa Peace Prize" is a real headline, apparently. I have no idea what is going on.

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness. “Never used to be like this,” he insists.

Cooler heads prevailed, and "Multiple" Miggs was left on the cutting room floor.

See this, Bluesky? That's you, that is.

"Thieflings" lol. Don't click on this - bollocks to the Telegraph, and bollocks to anyone moaning that "they made fantasy political!".
