We’re approaching the 40th anniversary of this spectacular bit of TV, an intro sequence to Wogan’s chat show. If anyone ever says that the 1980s were shit, just shake your head, smile condescendingly and play them this

You’re weak, not enough raw meat doctor

Always a good time with artificial intelligence!

The most fun is when exceptionally rich Turks pull me up for having privilege when they’re the ones on private jets, sending their kids to schools in Switzerland. Intersectionality matters !

If you look at the details of these surveys over the past 7/8 years the mainstream position in the UK has always been soft GC but now has become hard GC. Overreach by activists and calling people like Helen Lewis transphobes played a huge role in this.

Similar to my daughter. Both my wife and I are academics which makes the whole university thing so much easier for my daughter.

If you’re in the UK, the UK population’s mainstream position on trans rights is exactly the same as hers. The extremists are the activists who want trans women in women’s sport and women’s prison etc. That has support of a very small % in the UK (<20%). And that’s PinkNews YouGov polling

She’s written thousands of articles of which a small percentage are about trans issues.

For those in Paris I’m selling some of my ceramics in Montparnasse this weekend. Insta handle is @soidisantepotiére.

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

During the Gulf War you saw something very similar in Turkey around cola, with the launch by Ulker of Cola Turka. Today it has almost no market share with Cocoa-Cola still dominating.
I would be curious to see how this plays out.

I’ve no clue, I would think that it’s frowned upon to quote stuff that isn’t a quote. Very sloppy but I have no idea how often it happens or whether it really matters. And tbph I’m not following the SP case, I only stumbled across this somewhere and realised someone had mentioned it.

I’m sure Sean will tell you.

Apparently there’s a quote in the judgement that claims to come from the Forrester case “It is important to bear in mind that the [Equality Act 2010] does not create a hierarchy of protected characteristics."

However, apparently it’s not from the Forrester case

It’s at U Penn not Penn State

True on both points.

Foie gras?

No way, wild octopus tastes so much better

I remember once he got his neck caught between the ropes and nearly had a really serious accident

I didn't realise that "Kendo Nagasaki" was a brand rather than a person, and there have been at least two Kendo Nagasakis, a Kendo Nakazaki [sic] and a good half dozen other "Kendo" wrestlers

There was a young kid with a mullet that I liked, can’t remember his name though.

Nerd's Eye View: 11 things you need to know about immigration Digging into the detail and data to separate the noise from the news

"Incidentally, in the 1960s and 1970s, when net migration was running at minus 50,000 a year, more than 85% of Britons still thought immigration was too high."

Last week's New World column ocncerned immigration to the UK.

Farage is, alas, a deeply unpleasant man, with great personal charm (I know most bsky users are immune to this). He is easily the most significant UK politician since Thatcher.

To add to this thread of wonder, Queen Elizabeth II was reported to be a fan of Big Daddy whereas her mum, the Queen Mum, was a fan of his rival, Giant Haystacks.

That family has always had internal conflict.

As a child I was scared of Daleks and Giant Haystacks. I’d go behind the sofa when both came on the telly

Last time I went to LA, I was hauled in for extra questioning. Held for 2.5 hours in a room with about 50-60 people and then taken to a desk where they asked “when do you leave?” And “do you come here every year?” Just bullshit friction

So that’s why his chant was “easy! Easy! Easy!” He’d bought off the ref

Burner phone natch, and laptop with all cookies and history deleted so 🤷🏻‍♂️. I mean if they go full crazy then sure but then they can do that anyway.
