Ah, I miss this game. Who doesn't love jetpacking over an exploding Tie-Fighter? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMN...

Weeeeeelllllll "colour me surprised", as they say. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah, listening to Radio 2 news give the impression that Jeffrey Archer was some sort of endearing roguish uncle, even going so far as to call him a "jailbird". Let's call him what he actually was.

Listening to Beck's Mutations album again after many years... I wore that CD to pieces back in the day. Hard to believe it was put out as an unofficial follow up to Odelay; a sort of in-between album. It's Beck's best. Brilliant songwriting. No duds.

"AIs are not conscious. They do not feel, experience, or suffer. They do not have innate preferences or underlying motivations." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why is this man's opinion held as something to be trusted? He knows jack shit about anything. And he won't even be around to see the effects of AI. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At 16 mins in, Ray talks about working class actors... I dunno, it sounds like he's missing the point. When posh kids don't have any work they don't have to worry about how they're going to live. And for some, it IS given to them on a plate. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

BBC radio news being very "allegedly/apparently" this morning. We all have eyes and ears and we all know what went on.

Are more pressing question is "How the hell did she not go bankrupt years ago (like most normal people do)?" www.bbc.co.uk/articles/cj6...

These reviews for Bruce Willis’s Return of Bruno cd:

Hands up who's tired of these a-holes making mistakes like it's all fine... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump dropped Lindsey Graham's phone number AGAIN during his eulogy. Who wants to give it a shot?

They’re not messing about. If only US media had managed to be similarly united & determined in the face of Trump’s assaults on them…

Finally, some sense. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Gonna go full Meldrew on this, but does everything have to offer four payment tiers these days? Whatever happened to offering a service and a price? Why am I getting less today than yesterday, just because you decided that "free" on your new 4 tier system should mean a cutback in service?

Bloody hell. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The benefits of stashing a space hopper in your undies:

...a few years ago we did some Zippy content and were contacted by Tom Hayes, regular listener of the pod and son of Geoffrey. He informed us that Zippy and George were happily living out their retirement with Tom's mum following the passing of his dad in 2018... 2/3

Some very sad news - Zippy is and will always be a Person Of Interest on our podcast. You might find yourself wondering about Zippy's whereabouts these days... well... 1/3

The first port of call is benefits. It’s never “tax the rich”, is it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Who remembers when C4 showed Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings and, post-end credits, the poor announcer had to summarise Return of the King so the audience knew how the story ended?

I really don't care about Andy Burnham's chewing gum-lite alternative to Starmer. And I say that as a life-long labour supporter. Sure, get in, do the job, let's see what you've got... but I'm not hopeful. This game-ification of politics is tiring. Same shit, different flavour.

Just sharing this now — because once you see #HowToGetFilthyRich on Channel 4, you’re going to want to sign it. It’s time to tax wealth, not work. Add your name and help make wealth taxes the first item on the new PM’s list. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Today is Brian Cant's Birthday. One of THE great voices of our childhood. I feel so lucky to be around when people like him brought those shows to life.

UGH GOODNESS!

Ugh, goodness.

I've spent so much of my life writing and dealt with so much rejection. It's very easy to feel like your lack of whatever represents who you are as a person. Sam posted videos during Covid which got me through a rough patch (sounds silly: I never met him). Just that calming presence. RIP.

I hope all the "Ah, we coped in the 1970s" commentators read this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lindsay Graham was not just one of politics’ greatest worms, he was one of AMERICA’s greatest worms. Now he is in worm heaven, playing with that that great worm rock n roll band. Goodbye forever, monumental worm, you believed in nothing and it all worked out!

Why do most jobs advertised on recruitment websites feel like data scraping opportunities for faceless companies to do with as they please?

Are there any billionaire socialists out there?

Hahaha you bloody cheats! No doubt Trump will still declare you the winners of the World Cup and bestest ball kickers In the entire multiverse…. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Anyone need a writerer? (ME).

Don't let Reform's hate win. Did you hear that Essex's Reform council have banned libraries from "promoting" LGBTQ+ events and materials? It's outrageous - have we gone backwards a generation?! Sign the petition now to make them scrap this hateful decision! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/li...

I'd just like to say HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you dim-witted orange sex offender. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A lot of comment section spats are so disappointing these days. Like, put more effort into it! Maybe they need live critiquing?

I’m really glad it’s the incredibly niche field I’ve been attempting to scrape a meagre living in for 30 years that these clowns are given a blank cheque to fanny around in. And yes, I know all about ghost writers thank you. www.thebookseller.com/rights/hq-pr...

The Sheep Detectives has barely left cinemas, and now it's on Amazon (of course, they made it) for free. But still... 🥴

Got the windows open (obvs) and some kid just went by on his scooter yelling “I’m Ronnie Pickering!” Ah, summer…

I remember hearing "we can't tackle climate change too quickly, it will harm jobs" 20 years ago, and we're still hearing it today. If we'd just done it 20 years ago it would have been over and easier

Anne Schedeen deserved to be so much more than "the mom in ALF" but she was bloody great at it. I think my favourite actor in the entire series once they worked out how to write for her. Didn't seem to be bitter about any of it either. A very sad day. R.I.P. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/a...
