This looks great. Would it work on fur?

I don’t doubt it, but no. This is somewhere else

Today I am mostly cursing the stupid people who saw fit to enact laws preventing me from sending a small child up the chimney. #MakeFiresGrateAgain

Excellent use of the white bin bag. You are knocking it out of the park today

Which can fit six cushions, a duvet, and a nice lamp. That’s great

That’s just an actual ikea bag, isn’t it?

Out early for the first time in days after a bit of a sick thing. I walked and called for all the stray words which ran away from me during my low point

What? Are you suggesting that I didn’t write a teleportation device disguised as poetry?

This is an email I received yesterday. It’s an example of why marketing through AI still requires actual skill. This email is high on bullshit and low on actual marketing ability. Flattery is not a sales strategy

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

It’s so good to see sunset getting earlier each day. Daylight was an interesting experiment but we should just ditch it fully now

A leaked memo, a Maga-style hat and a trail of broken pledges – it’s Labour’s great housing betrayal | Aditya Chakrabortty Ignore the bombast: Steve β€˜build, baby, build’ Reed’s boast looks likely to end in targets more pathetic than they are now, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Please read my column today in conjunction with Aditya's. The government pretends to be delivering housing to those who need it, but is in fact just appeasing the big corporations. Then it blames nature protections, and rips those down at their behest as well.

Space Harrier - Arcade Longplay
YouTube video by U4iA Space Harrier - Arcade Longplay

Space Harrier is 40! I remember seeing this beautiful machine in Piccadilly arcade and wishing I could a) afford to play it and b) was confident enough to sit in front of the many people who stood around in wonder at it
