Clearly they stumbled across the lair of Fantomas and were lucky to escape unharmed.

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible - among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access. Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said. Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said. A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said. "The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there." Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Googling “was Ian Watkins vaccinated?”

Which is why the man who greeted her inside the pub – polite, pleasant but oddly flat – felt like a stranger. Gone was the quickfire wit and playful rhythm she’d come to expect from their exchanges. Over pints he stumbled through small talk, checked his phone a little too often, and seemed to wilt under the pressure of her questions. “I felt like I was sitting opposite someone I’d never even spoken to,” she says. “I tried to have the same sort of conversation as we’d been having online, but it was like, ‘Knock, knock, is anyone home?’ – like he knew basically nothing about me. That’s when I suspected he’d been using AI.” Rachel gave her date the benefit of the doubt. “I thought maybe he was nervous,” she says. But she’d been “Chatfished” before, so when the gap between his real and digital selves failed to close on their second date, she called it off. “I’d already been ChatGPT-ed into bed at least once. I didn’t want it to happen again.”

you know that critique of ai that says it’s like taking a forklift to the gym and expecting to get stronger? well this bit of that guardian article about people using chatgpt in dating apps kinda proves it correct

He’d have been more successful with “Hey Sarah, cracking tits, let’s meet up again soon.”

I'm beyond proud and excited to announce my hugely popular Alchemised fanfic has been picked up by a publisher and will be released in 2026!

To avoid copyright issues, all the Alchemised settings and lore will be stripped out and replaced with a whimsical but poorly considered magical school

Sen’s Draco and Hermione (“Dramione”) fanfic, heavily inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale, has now been rewritten – with third-party IP necessarily removed – and published traditionally as Alchemised.

Yet my Grimlock/Starscream fanfic heavily influenced by the works of Hieronymus Bosch is cruelly ignored.

SHOCK POLL: NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW IN an amazing poll conducted by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like. However, 99 percent of journalists agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

I should probably point out that I haven’t read a mainstream modern Spidey comic for years so I don’t know if any of this is still the case.

Also the comics trying to make Peter into one of the super geniuses is a mistake. He’s smart but his great science achievement should be the web-fluid. If he’s supposed to be the “Everyman” of the universe running his own super science business is a mistake.

I think he can deal with all the weirdness but it shouldn’t be his norm, it works in the Spiderverse films because they are Miles story and he hasn’t quite got the same cultural baggage that Peter does. Peter should be “huh that Dr Strange team up was weird, time to fight the Vulture.”

I always thought the real mistake they made was bringing back Norman Osborn. He was a more effective as an idea of evil that persists among the various Goblins even after he’s dead.

Could someone uncool do this*?

Have we considered that the answer to the “male loneliness epidemic” is a healthy grind core scene?

I’m sorry it may seem cute but Doctor Who only releases late Capaldi era soundtracks when it’s in a state of extreme distress.

So you’re my replacements, a pervert and a nonce.

I think we should also take a moment to acknowledge how the guy on the far left looks like he’s dressed as his version of The Doctor for a fan film.

I bet his favourite 21st century episode is Kerblam.

This is why we need more gatekeeping not less.

Rage rage rage.

I am legally allowed to kill this man.

I think TLDP also come with +10 Magic Defence so that would be useful.

Can’t wait for her Cult Of Luna collaboration.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.
