Never mind that, how many songs has he ever written that someone else didn't write before him?

"Dwayne Dogley?!"

It's Dusty Bin, isn't it?

I wouldn't want to be rweeviled over this.

The whole argument to begin with is ad verecundium - they've found what they think is an expert who holds the same views as them, so hold their writing up rather than express it as their own opinion.

When it fails, they always fall back to, "Well, I still believe it anyway."

Wish they'd given Strange a second season to iron out the kinks. I haven't seen it since original transmission, but seem to remember it was just starting to find its feet when it was all over.

Christ Boo-Shay.

If you want to know how absolutely unfit for purpose AI is, and how dangerous this headlong dive into "Yay! Let's let AI do *everything*", is...

Just ask yourself how often YOU have to correct "autocorrect".

THAT technology is being put in charge of vital services.

For the love of *sanity*, stop.

I wasn't expecting this.

At his age he's bound to have problems with his number two output pipe.

More members of Liz Truss's cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch's shadow cabinet...

Another rat joins the stinking shits.

“The creatures outside looked from Reform to Tory, and from Tory to Reform, and from Reform to Tory again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Never mind that, the Byzantine empire must have been a right bunch of fat pies.

So, a week on Tuesday, then? 😉

The script meeting.

Farage has been touring Davos all week pledging to “fight the globalists” - all funded by a $10 billion trust run on behalf of an Iranian billionaire.

one of the best things ever

Yet another beauty from @RichardBowler1 for today's #FoxOfTheDay , top work Richard !

If you don't copyright it, you're a pillowck.

I've just sat down on an unexpected extra cushion, and announced that I'd encountered some extra "Bumfort". If *that* one's all over sofa adverts to the point of distraction in about a week's time, you'll know where it came from.

This sweet boy is 10 today and he has so much tolerance for my human shenanigans.
🎉 Happy birthday, B! 🎉

I love Blackadder II. It remains one of the BBC's best things ever. Watch in the first episode though... when Flashheart nuts Percy clean out of the doors at the wedding ceremony. The entire set looks like it's coming down...

How Blake's 7 was massively ahead of its time when it first aired – and why it fits perfectly in the modern TV landscape Decades before TV embraced anti-heroes, moral grey areas and brutal endings, Blake’s 7 was already rewriting the rules.

Decent article about B7. It does resort to the tired trope of "wobbly sets" though. It's always sci-fi shows that get this treatment. No-one ever mentions Fawlty Towers, where the sets moved like the Tacoma Bridge.

I was amused earlier by Tangerine Palpatine. But I do like a rhyme.

There are some events that pass into Glasgow folklore.

Back in 1989, the Toledo cinema genuinely did advertise the enticing triple-bill of 'Big', 'Frantic', 'Shag' - not something you usually get in Muirend!

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

Piss off, grandad!
