Taking the opportunity to repost this story (from John Boorman’s book) about how shooting the last shot of Zardoz caused Sean Connery to fall into so fierce a rage it led to a man changing his identity

If you've seen Zardoz, you already know it's a wild ride; it you haven't seen Zardoz, strap in: it's time to talk about the highs and lows of John Boorman's film, featuring false gods and failed utopias, and Sean Connery in thigh-high boots

For no reason I'm remembering the bit in Going Postal where Reacher Gilt, faced with declining sales because of the re-opened Post Office, makes outlandish claims for what the Clacks will soon be able to do, knowing he can't actually do it. Cause that doesn't matter. For no reason.

One of 2026's better tech-related coinages is "dickover," John Gruber's term for > a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user with an unwanted, unnecessary, mandatory interaction... 1/

Didn't know Bellingham was from Stourbridge. So why the hell are they playing Wonderwall and not something by Neds, PWEI or the Wonderstuff?

Palantir who were supposed to help NHS hospitals speed up treatment have actually slowed down operations. Probably because Doctors have to double check their AI BS which is always wrong.

By the way. If you want your (UK) kids to be able to do what the fuck they like on the internet because you’re not some fucking weird Mumsnet Nazi, Firefox now has a free 50gb per month VPN built in.

No-one in the government had heard of Bluesky before today, had they?

News Eye@newseye.bsky.social

BREAKING: The UK Government confirms that Bluesky will be INCLUDED in the ban on social media for under 16s. The government said it will be BANNED because it is a “user-to-user platform who purpose is to enable social interaction.”

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.
