We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

Best: Rachel Weisz, Nigella Lawson (I am pale and have dark hair) Least: Last week Partner said I look like my mum, which isn’t objectively bad and she is someone I have a great relationship with, but it’s still not something a woman really wants to hear

got a thing I can’t moan about in public yet but boy am I fucking furious about it

Calling it "DEI" (in the UK it's EDI) is yet another tell about how much the right-wing agenda in the UK is just imported wholesale from the US.

Dizzy (orange) is violently jealous of Bird (grey), but is suppressing his feelings long enough to enjoy the vertical territory on top of the clothes horse

Syed is an absolute cretin, of course, but once again let me point out that every single one of these bought and paid for right wing fucks with a "AR KULTSHUR" agenda is explicitly using American culture as the starting point. Not one, not ONE person in the UK used "DEI" until like 6 months ago

Watching a film quiz and one of the questions has just said Ingrid Bergman instead of Ingmar Bergman 😩

It’s been done twice before, although admittedly not for forty years, but I predict that as Lord Peter Wimsey hits public domain next year he’s going to be back, baby. And I will not be able to watch it because the BBC will hire Sarah Phelps to make it GRIMDARK and GRITTY and CHANGE THE MURDERERS.

Drive (2011) and the Towards Zero episode of Agatha Christie’s Marple (2008) on ITV

a lot of men do NOT like having this pointed out to them

My theory of everything strikes again: whatever’s wrong, the effed up housing market is integral to it. We could all afford to pay more taxes (useful money that could be reinvested in the state) if we weren’t paying so much for housing (useless money sunk to landlords/the bank bc of giant mortgages)

absolutely absurd creature, just look at him

weekends should be: 1 day rest 1 day chores 1 day go out and do something fun

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

This one?

rip Anthony Stewart Head 😭😭

We are thirteen minutes into Wrath of Khan and my beloved has paused the film four times to tell me a fact. I love him so much and am glad he’s having a good time :)

my nam is trol and wen i see a skete that dos not tend to me i rant and ror i run amok i am a bor i get the blok

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

I will always love him as Herc in Cabin Pressure: (To Carolyn): "Oh hello. What a ridiculous dog!" "My dog is not ridiculous!" "Then whose dog is this?"

if you haven't heard Cabin Pressure, treat yourself. He's marvellous as Herc Shipwright

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

OH NO

A joyful anniversary today, because it’s 31 years since Kees Moeliker witnessed “the first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard” when a duck flew into the glass wall of his museum, dying instantly. Violent death, however (as you may have surmised) was not the final indignity visited upon it

Hastings museum had an LGBT history exhibit and there was a bit on a trans guy and a cis woman who married in 1954 that I found moving

I do EDI training at work and the most common thing people say is "you can't say anything these days" or words to that effect, so I ask them "OK, what is it you used to be able to say?" It's amazing how many times I'm met with silence x

I am SO sick of headlines like this. The public sees "AI" as being LLMs/ChatGPT, not an ML algorithm - and articles like this mislead the public into thinking that LLMs are discovering novel things. It's a cool thing! I'm excited! But it is lazy reporting to suddenly use "AI" as such a broad term

are you just going to do this for every generation

It needs to be stated over and over - this isn't just a matter of errors: The point is that LLM AI is literally incapable of reviewing or validating research data. It absolutely cannot do that job, at all, ever. But it is very good at generating something that looks like a convincing review.

"DEI"

Police have gone from institutionally racist to anti-white in the time it took me to change my duvet cover? Don’t think so.

Merge two movies. Are You There Aguirre, the Wrath of God? It's Me, Margaret.

I should have added more than just a sentence without a period here. I am a journalist looking for an expert in british copyright law for a story I am working on. If you happen to be one or know one, could you email me at [email protected]? Thank you!

there's a moment early in the film of Ready Player One, where the voiceover says, "the only limit was your imagination", as the screen fills with pre-existing characters & IPs. It would one of the most on the nose satires of modern culture if not for the fact that it's meant entirely without irony

I thought I needed a lie down and a cry but I’ve bought some strawberry lemonade and it’s really taken the edge off

Any room can be a panic room if you leave me with my own thoughts

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

One for Bluepals here in the UK: have your say on which animals should be on our banknotes. On the topic of finding joy in small things, imagine booting Churchill off the money and replacing him with a puffin ♥️ www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/he...

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

Time to share one of my favourite directorial works, a Rian Johnson storyboard for Knives Out. Is it a work of great artistry? No. Does it get the point across? Hell yeah!

Detritus says Trans rights ✊

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

my mental health is fragile right now and the only thing holding me together right now are the 18 year old first series Only Connect repeats on iPlayer
