YouTube video by Oliver Pett - Mechanical Creations The Archer Automaton That Nearly Defeated Me — Episode 1

This guy is making a brass archer automaton if that's your sort of thing (it is very much my sort of thing).

Today on the podcast, I take a deep dive into Turner's extraordinary painting, 'The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, October 16 1834'. And I ask, is it the beginning of modern art?

I'm no political strategist but has anyone in Labour considered *not* alienating any huge chunk of their base? I just feel like they tried alienating the left and the centre left and the public sector workers and the academics, and none of those things worked great, so maybe give my idea a whirl?

Well it's as reasonable response to what's going on as anything else. I mean, I'm probably not going to do it but you do you, bud.

Rolex clock. It's nearly half twelve (what sort of time is that for a kick off?)

The teams are out. Red and blue kits, a s it should be.

Right then...

36 EFL games to kick-off late for CPR awareness in February Championship, League One and League Two games across a four-day period will kick-off one minute late to raise awareness for the Every Minute Matters campaign.

Ah, right

This day in history. 1928. Australian aviator Bert Hinkley took off from Croydon on the first solo flight from England to Australia. "Why take such a risk?" they asked and he answered "Have you seen Croydon?"

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone

Lots of League Two kick-offs, all at 12.31 or 15.01

Is there a minute's silence or something today? We'll have no idea what's going on in the ground of course, as there hasn't been a functioning tannoy in our end of the Don Rogers stand for about 20 years.

Dr. Samuel Beckett leaps from life to life trying to put right what once went wrong...

Oh! He's leaping! He's only fucking leaping!

What life will the brave Dr. inhabit next? I can hardly contain my curiousity!

Oh. He's Peter Mandelson's dog, which is apparently on the cover of tomorrow's Times Magazine along with his dodgy as fuck owner for some reason.

Oh boy.

Hooo boy

Peter Mandelson is responsible for such a long litany of scandals he was probably one of the factors FOR a vetting process in the first place. In fact the first question of any govt vetting process should be 'Are you or have you ever been Peter Mandelson?'

I tend to avoid bombastic national pride but the British right to walk randomly into the road at any juncture is genuinely one of our greatest traditions and these yank tech companies can sod off.

One of my favorite datasets depicts waterways of San Francisco before colonialism drained and paved over many of them. Turns out one of the "lakes" was a copy of a copy of a copy etc etc of an ink spill on a Spanish chart from the 1700s that propagated all the way into a modern .geojson file.

Oh, they've deleted the CIA World Factbook

I’m not sure ‘our national security developed vetting technique can be beaten if a candidate is prepared to lie’ is an especially helpful line to push.
