Reminds me of looking at a north circular overpass in 2007 joestidbits.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-...

"We're allowed to read all of them?" - at this time in history, the new Carrie in her school library has done something wonderful in that moment 🥹

I just saw someone write their job title as comedy consultant... is that a joke?

Shocking but not surprising. The world's policeman is on the take. Utter shitbag.

'Beigel Bake, Brick Lane' (2020) by Marc Gooderham marcgooderham.co.uk

I felt dread this morning, in the car, when on the radio they called it "Russia's war in Ukraine" but it was actually about a ship off the coast of Bulgaria, and food going rotten in France. It's ... something else now isn't it?

Stopppp I just discovered the Crewkerne thing and thought 'how can this be legal?', and that there's no UK law to stop someone making a video of me and my voice using AI and publishing it for profit!? WTF!? And who runs this awful thing?... that bloody Bonehill-Paine guy! Govt, uh we need laws!?!?

I find this absolutely fascinating. Not to insult clowns but this feels like that, is that what draws people in? Sort of hoping @aiannucci.bsky.social will explain this better on Strong Message Here. (If it hasn't been cut yet ... Or extended to an hour.)

Sorry to disappoint but the AI cloned video editing software is total ... what's the word... slop. Mine couldn't even fade up a single audio clip. It's funny to see, the poor impersonation of thought, in software. What did I expect!? This whole thing is such a delusional misfire, a lack of dream.

Haaretz's detailed story on the Israeli gulags, in which nearly 10,000 Palestinians are held, vast majority of them have not been charged or convicted. These are crimes against humanity. archive.ph/LdVXQ

"On the [Zionism is Racism] motion, I voted and argued against it...but the clash of conference with an exciting and mobilising by-election campaign meant many of us were persuaded not to campaign publicly for these ends". Do you not see how absolutely damning that admission is?

What the streamers and VOD services have done is revolutionary. And the investment in money and talent is keeping the industry alive right now. But nobody has actually replaced what curated linear TV does. And I’m not sure they can ever do that, or should want to.

Why are cuts to the BBC always the shows and the journalists and never the people who create the massive forms someone has to fill out to get money to make a programme, because they don't know anyone in telly actually and never watch it

BBC cuts, which include two long-running series with the words ‘thinking’ in the title.

“She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely… When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission, it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back.”

She wrote all that code by hand and it landed on the moon. Such an iconic photo. Here’s to Margaret Hamilton (1936–2026). What an incredible and pioneering woman for science. An inspiration to us all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was robbed of the chance to mourn 10/7, not only by Israel’s fascist government, who waged a (predictably) indefensible war of vengeance and extermination against the people of Gaza, but also by the Western left, who celebrated, endorsed, and justified Hamas’s mass murder

Almost forgot: happy That Tom Hollander Interview Day to all who celebrate

Just what an incredible story

Two days ahead of the Telegraph! (I suppose they had to do actual journalism on it to be fair tho)

But then it's also weird how its author is named in this story as a good friend of a convicted terrorist... what's that about? Maybe just coincidence or a different person Lubna Speitan www.courthousenews.com/family-of-ac...

I need more timeline cleansers so am looking for beautiful things, feel free to chime in!

After the debate, some members, seen in this video, sang 'Palestine is Arab' in celebration. Does @greenparty.org.uk think it a form of racism? It would seem to imply a racial hierarchy from river to sea. Will the party take any action? www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

The best time to start a new UK party to speak up for nature, the environment and connectedness was yesterday. The next best time is today.

Fwiw I've had both Zionists and anti-Zionists say "you're one of us!" and that's another reason the green party can get in the bin. Sorry go on, I do think about other stuff but 1000x ugh.

"There's a conversation to be had about whether it's a perception of the Green Party imploding or whether it's actually imploding."

Astounding performances on BBC Young Musician on BBC Four just now.

The 'anti-racist party in every way' has the same level guarantees behind it as the 'single democratic state with equal rights for all' – none. #greenparty
