Why don’t Zarah and Jeremy just book a meal at Granita and sort this whole thing out?

Here’s a tip for everyone playing Whamageddon - simply don’t tell anyone you’ve heard the song. Then you listen to it as much as you want and have a much more jolly December.
I am ambivalent towards Last Christmas, so don't really care if I hear it or not, but people who take Whamageddon this seriously are really quite irritating
I left a job on 1 December a few years ago and a colleague knew I was taking part in Whamageddon. As I was leaving he played Last Christmas on his phone, smirking as he did it. I still haven't forgiven the cunt and he can still stick his LinkedIn connect request up his arse.

Now I'm not saying this is just because of me, but old Twitter followers of mine might remember my consternation at the mix up of upper/lowercase in the month of March in the last few years' worth of WH Smiths weekly planners...

Generative AI has hit an important milestone, where the time it takes to work out if an image/video is fake exceeds my attention span.

Okay, this is a cool idea.

We had these in Cambridge (my kids were obsessed with them). The thing is they're only partially autonomous, so they still use lowly-paid gig workers to remote control them some of time. They're just probably not in your community. The worst of all worlds economically, and a total privacy nightmare
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

The correct Middle-Aged-Man-of-Bluesky answer is Master and Commander 2
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Deputy Speaker: It’s disrespectful to announce budget policy in the media. It should be announced here in the House of Commons. Now let’s hear from the Chancellor…

I hope Rachel Reeves continues speculating about the budget as she’s actually delivering it. “Coming up, a 12% tax on cheese…or is there???”

This is a very odd thing to do with your mouth if you’re pouring liquid into it. I think the Internet was right to recontextualise it.
I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.
