Brilliant story - it's raised my opinion of KP and even Piers Morgan, which I didn't see coming

Roger Mellie, The Man On The Telly from Viz Comic - has always looked a bit like Terry Wogan

Indeed it is!

I *really* want to read that Stone Table fanfic by Francis Spufford. The few bits I saw on Twitter were spot on

Several months so far - and still not finished. In my defence, it's not my day job

Me, increasingly wild-eyed, to my students:

Images of 'Ancestor: Ser Duncan the Tall' and 'Descendant: Brienne of Tarth' with the text: Brienne of Tarth found a shield in her father's stores that bears an Elm tree with a shooting star. She describes it as bearing "the green leaves of the tree, and along the path of the falling star". I looked it up and GRRM actually confirmed that Ser Duncan the Tall is an ancestor of Brienne! The looks alone should have sold it.

Just found this, and hoping it isn't AI bullshit

Is this piece for the Aslantic? #arfarf

I just heard the bit where you missed it, and I wondered the same thing 😄

It did make me wonder how many cool things I've missed myself, from only watching it once

There's already a Microsoft Visio, a diagramming app. So that name would surely have to change?

That "I'M NOT SURE" is another "Damn it, Terry!" moment

Can you imagine loving a track made by Al? I can imagine loving one, for sure, if I didn't know it was made by AI. That's the danger, isn't it? I want AI to wash my dishes for me, so I can make art, not to make art so I can wash my dishes. It's the wrong way round - though I want to wash my dishes as well. I just don't want Al.

Love this Loyle Carner quote

It's the software on edgelords' computers

Truly, 1976 was the worst year ever for pop music #TOTP

Trump's Davos speech was the act of a madman and that is the only sensible manner in which it should have been covered iandunt.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

How Badenoch’s meeting with Mike Johnson led to Trump’s Chagos deal rant A brief encounter set off a chain of events that culminated in a public rebuff to the US president from Keir Starmer

So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter.

Not as far back as the bonespur kid

Such a good movie!

👏👏👏
What's next? Maybe you could do one on Trump? Orangin' Story

... I'll get me coat

Just got back from my time traveling dinosaur safari and you won’t believe how many butterflies I stepped on! Now to take a big sip of water and check on President Harris’s trip to Davos

I, for one, etc etc

It's not just me @enlightenmentor.bsky.social ! 😄

I thought all you #DrWho fans would be away attending the Davros Summit 😉

Yay! A GoT prequel with likeable characters. I saw ep 1 and I'm in

this is absolutely bonkers incredible and also it’s very easy to see why cheerleading is one of the most dangerous sports

From my brief visits to Vietnam, it's a mix of communism and not much regulation. Want to do an engineering degree? You have to study Marx and Lenin as part of your course. Want to cover the whole sidewalk in cafe tables, or ride a motorbike through town at night with no headlight? Go right ahead!

Palantir is working with ICE.

Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information.

Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs.

I have a plan to save movie theaters and it’s gonna work:

Double-price for phone-friendly showings. You can have your phone out the entire time, make calls, talk, bring young active children without fear of being judged.

Half-price for silent showings. Phone use gets you banned for six months.

Do not be surprised if in the first days of an incoming populist radical government there is an entire raft of statutory instruments and other measures prepared and ready to go, exploiting every gap in our constitutional arrangements.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:
