On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.'
Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Just talking about my job with a couple of 15-yr-old work experience kids. Got to talking SEO which led to AI summaries on Google and they were all "you can't trust that - most of the time it's wrong" and generally started shitting on AI and how it's ruining stuff.
The kids are all right.

The split is pretty much, um, split.
This is your United Wrestling UK Reading roster (the World & Tag-Team champs float between here and Oxford).
The new era begins this Sunday, with the World and Tag titles on the line, and the first matches to crown a new Futureproof champion!

At the Rising Sun Arts Centre, Tribute Night is back with the music of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, with around two dozen songs performed in a variety of ways - some faithfully, some surprisingly, some ill-advisedly...

Not to crowdsource my work but I grew up without a TV! For our sitcom, I need a list of very very famous ads from British TV over the years. Please link your favourite ones below and they may end up being a key plot point that saves the day. No pressure!

Has a class or teacher helped teach you a new skill or introduced you to a new group of friends?
Is there an event, venue or organistion doing stuff more people should know about?
Is there a local champion of our town's heritage you want to celebrate?

You’ve probably heard this story, but it’s fun, so... 56 years ago today M*A*S*H premiered in the US. It cost $3m and made over $80m – and Robert Altman was paid $70,000 to direct it, while his 14-year-old son worked on it for an estimated five minutes and made around $1m 🧵

Yeah this is a great analogy if you want your product to be viewed as a cumbersome novelty filled with features barely anyone uses.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?
