This is a jolly and informative thread.
As always, nazi punks fuck off.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

So I spent the first day of half term waiting in for a parcel that never turned up.

Arrive by midday
Arrive by 6
Arrive by close.

My arse, Fedex. My arse.

I haven’t been able to take her seriously since the intro round on NMTB when she failed to identify Ziggy Stardust.

Everyone at Big Finish was very sad to hear of the passing of actor Nabil Shaban. Our deepest condolences go out to his friends and family.

Ah. The ‘new’ Star Trek film themes.

Definitely modern classics.

Sounds of Cinema sounds like it will be wall to wall bangers today.

Pelham 123 is a strong start

It's my last BBC Radio 3 Sound of Cinema tomorrow, and I will be saying a proper goodbye. So tomorrow's show is an argument for the intellectual depth and richness of the film music, and how it should never be treated like wallpaper. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say

Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown When HAL 9000, the artificial intelligence supercomputer in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, works out that the astronauts onboard a mission to Jupiter are planning to shut it down, it plots to kill them in an attempt to survive. Now, in a somewhat less deadly case (so far) of life imitating art, an AI safety research company has said that AI models may be developing their own “survival drive”. Continue reading...

Here is something I wrote about the ever widening demands on musicians and music teachers www.musicteachermagazine.co.uk/content/feat...

Broadening instrumental teaching skills - Music Teacher

For a brief time, musicians were able to be specialists; but budget cuts have meant that, except for the very few, the days of the multi-tasker are back, with a flexible portfolio now de rigueur. Anne...

I remember being annoyed when Wieldy disappeared in series 8.

Not killed off / went to live happily ever after with his sculptor. Just gone.

I assumed it was because they wanted to hide the gay man - but I looked it up - the actor was diagnosed with MS and passed away in 2017.

RIP David Royle.

saxylizbeth @saxylizbeth.bsky.social · 1d

I’m boxsetting Dalziel & Pascoe atm.
90s cars, fashion and 🫣 makeup🫣
And attitudes.

I remember the character of Wieldy. He was the first gay character I can remember in a crime series.

Regular side character, just a part of the team. Also gay - but no big deal.

They wonder why Britain is not productive.

From April, millions of self-employed people, who until now could fill in a form to submit their tax return, will have to pay for “recognised software” to do the same thing.

I wonder how many MPs have financial interests in the accounting software firms?

Fantastic Bonnie Langford impression and could have totally taken Ingrid Pitt in a fight.

I remember the theme. I remember it's name.

Yet the only thing I can remember about the show is that Stephen Yardley was in it.

It might have been about boats.
