If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

π¬ Favourite movie poster of the week:
Whatβs Up, Doc?
Hand-drawn chaos. Playful type. Pure screwball energy. Barbra Streisand and Ryan OβNeal mid-madness.
Poster designed by Richard Amsel.
Do posters today capture comedy like this? π

Why not buy things from us while you still have the chance? In a few months you might be too busy battling mutants for the last tinned foods in crumbling irradiated cities.
Don't come crying to us if your last days of human civilization aren't spent making stupid noises...
Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, in 1960 or 61. By 1965 all these old buildings had been replaced by high-rises/new housing.
AI overview: "This photograph captures the construction of the Westway motorway (A40 extension) in West London, likely around 1966-1969"
The US is using #AI targeting in its attacks on Iran.
In unconnected news: In the last few days I've uploaded a batch of photos of streets/buildings in 1960-61 Manchester in search of their sources, and AI's unsolicited assistance has proven to be 100% wrong about location/date. Example:
Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and itβs difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now heβs struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.

Immigration and asylum Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat Home secretary will defy 'plain wrong' calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters Rajeev Syal Home affairs editor
No, no, no - youβre not alienating Muslim voters, Shabana.
Youβre alienating progressive voters.
Ya know, the ones who put you into office? Your actual voting base?
It looks like lessons will not be learned after all.
a pleasing start to the day
