[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up? JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas! LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas? JANET: AI peas? LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI]. LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas JANET: What LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means. JANET: Is it really necessary to- LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET [Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan: AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

The BBC when there is a real scandal: takes years to do anything, drags its feet, is very defensive

The BBC when the right wing goes for it: has a panic attack then throws itself on its sword immediately

I DEMAND Panorama IMMEDIATELY produces a documentary showing Kamala Harris not instigating a violent riot, not sexually assaulting anyone, or getting fined for denying it, or being found guilty of business fraud, or f*cking a porn star AND accepting the result of an election.
You know. For balance.

"it's always the fault of the migrants. Except when it isn't."

Colin from Portsmouth thinks we should blame immigrants for things before they even happen.

Ah man, I missed this yesterday (had a rare day off from socials). I'm sure insurance etc will get you sorted, but if there's a donation thing to help with the immediate stuff, I'll happily chuck in.

Don't get me wrong, I love @newsagents.bsky.social anyway, but "Coining It" with @lewisgoodall.com is absolutely captivating.

My podcast tastes are quite picky, due to a lack of time available... But this is essential listening.

Me and recent British citizen @lovesudo.com believe that @zackpolanski.bsky.social , @mothinali.bsky.social , and @rachelmillward.bsky.social have what it takes to Make Hope Normal Again. So we've joined the Green Party.

It's time to get behind forces for good, for the greater good. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧☮️

What's it like in your head?

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

The university email telling me to do mandated cybersecurity training contains all of the warning signs - implied threat; mysterious link to click; sense of urgency - that we are supposed to beware of in phishing emails.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

Happy anniversary! 🎉

Re: mystery hour Guinness question

This is a BBC archive of the last pub in Belfast to use two barrels to pour a pint of plain (Guinness was done similarly). It is an amazing video, it is an incredible mix of poetry, sadness and nostalgia.

A split 2 panel meme. The top panel shows actor Peter Ellis as a police officer in the movie An American Werewolf in London. The caption read: “1981: Fails to stop deadly foreign werewolf attack in central London, despite the werewolf attempting to surrender to him beforehand” The bottom panel shows actor Peter Ellis as Chief Superintended Charles Brownlow in the TV series The Bill. The caption reads: “ 1984: Promoted to Chief Superintendent at Sun Hill police station. Share if you think this is a disgrace”

After talking about it the other day so was able to find the Chief Supt Brownlow / American Werewolf in London meme!

He's not going to be called Prince Andrew any more.

From now on he's called Nonce Andrew.

Why can I remember no Labour politician making this point, this well?

Everybody except the Greens seems to think the best way to fight Reform is to agree with Farage about everything.

This, right here, is brilliant. And genuinely patriotic. And so, so true.

I know a guy, but you'll have to meet him by the bins at the back of the bookies. Cash only.

And don't expect to sleep for a few days. And cleaning... lots of cleaning. :P

A former hedge fund manager becomes a politician. When that gig is over, still working part time in politics, he gets TWO parts time jobs in "tech".

Meanwhile, the rest of us have proper jobs with real work, which non-tech people think isn't real work because of the hedge fund manager.

Ridiculous.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators
