UK folks, let's jump on this AI regulation petition the Society of Authors emailed out! It's an actual parliament one so the government HAS to respond if it reaches the signature threshold. It calls for regulations to make AI developers disclose copyrighted works trained on. Sign & repost!! ❤️

An analogy for life in the 2020s...

I hate football. Fundamentally. So that’s where I am for the upcoming nonsense.

Is it a 'transatlantic argument'? Or is it malevolent foreign interference in British politics by people who have called for civil war here? Who can say?

This. Is. INCREDIBLE.

And it says *100% AI written* with "high confidence." It is 100% wrong. I say... AI detector tools are about as reliable as AI writing tools.

Inclusion policies in the UK have always been called EDI. Like the policies or not, those who call them DEI are just flagging that they get their politics from X and other US sources.

"Ah, I see you've met Mr. Whiskers. Mr. Whiskers was a bad cat, a very bad cat. YOU'RE not a bad cat, are you Mittens?"

Laura Wade. She wrote it. She did that. The actors help by performing it, obviously. But FFS.

Laura Wade is the best writer on telly at the moment. Which makes me extraordinarily happy.

oh you love big butts? name all of them then

I was reminded by a friend of when I served Anthony Stewart Head in the bookshop. Him: “Can you tell me where science fiction is please? Me: “It’s down there on the left Anthony Stewart Head from Buffy” He laughed but I don’t know why I said that. I went bright red.

Cabin Pressure is honestly one of the best British sitcoms of the 21st Century so far - if you haven't heard any of it yet, treat yerself

Almost my entire Bluesky dashboard from top to bottom is mourning Anthony Head's passing - to have that kind of legacy is pretty admirable.

'Stake me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast' - RIP Tony Head

Tony head was also very sexy as Carolyn's toyboy Herc in cabin pressure, in case you needed an excuse relisten to that

Huge if true.

I mentioned this on the other site once, but Exeter uni drama department alum, and the producer of Noel’s House Party, Michael Leggo came and gave us students a Q&A talk in the mid 1990s. He invented Mr Blobby, and publicly apologised to us for doing so. He was very gracious about it. Nice chap.

Even the plants haven't changed.

Gilets are all around you. Just notice them and be pleased that you noticed. 8th Mar 2018 | 🔁 4 🩶 15 [url]

Never change EastEnders

I would simply not *gestures at the collapse of western civilisation*

It’s almost inevitable that I suggest you also watch this as an accompaniment. youtu.be/FUj8PJ0NeCc?...

If you think the police are anti-white you should not be allowed outside on your own.

X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address. What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?

I feel like I'm going mad: Henry Nowak's killer has been sentenced to life in prison with a 21-year minimum. The whole process took less than six months. There were grave errors on the night. But how does this possibly evidence two-tier justice? www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-o...

What the fuck is going on?

it would be so easy to Truman Show this guy. Put him in a fake office with some TVs playing fake news footage and then just slap some nonsense on posterboard. He would never notice

Because I’m GenX I bought an Alfred E. Neuman T-shirt literally last year. Because his slogan was “What me worry?” It was because I was fundamentally freaking out about the state of the world. Alfred was the 1960s version of the “This is fine” meme. I was born in 1975.

So lovely. I think they might be biased though.

Those fucking racists who’ve spent the last fifteen years demonising Poles, complaining about Polski Skleps on high streets, demanding their deportation, now trying to use the murder of Henry Nowak for their own racist purposes can fuck right off.

Has Farage been arrested for inciting violence yet? And if not, why not? He has clearly broken the law. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/1...

Rutland Weekend Television (2nd June 1975). Time to relax with the latest edition of The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Clever old Farage. Pivoting to corrupt grifterism to distract from his appalling racism, then pivoting to appalling racism to distract from his corrupt grifterism.

‘Has revealed’ information that I have known since I was 13

This is still one of the greatest visual gags ever put to screen.

Happy 100th birthday to my all time queen. Love you Marilyn

I can't believe they cancelled my favourite show after one series! They should have let it run for 8 seasons, like that show I used to like but now hate with an incontinent passion.

If you can, please please give this a watch. Endometriosis is truly one of the most sinister devils and women are constantly fighting for our lives. This does a great job at showing the dark reality, and as an endometriosis sufferer, this is a perfect display of our lived reality 🎗️ #endometriosis

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

It’s all kicking off in Richmond.

saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that read "THERE IS NO CLOUD, JUST SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPUTER" and it took my last shred of self-control not to thank him for his service

This is a screenshot from an episode of Endevour where (not yet inspector) Morse is off to see someone in hospital. Now, some of you may have heard of Fosdick Ward before, because it’s in Carry On Doctor. Proving that the Carry Ons an Inspector Morse take place in the same universe

Someone needs to tell Sir Paul that having lots of stubble at this age doesn’t make you look cool, it makes you look like you need to be cared for in a home. It’s because the stubble is white. Have a shave Sir Paul! #PleaseHaveAShaveSirPaul

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on
