Muller Fruit Corner alternative, Veg Corner. The reason the mash looks rubbish was because I only had chips to mash. AT LEAST IT'S NOT AI.

Thought I'd google fancy chickens to see which has the most Limahl energy. The Polish silver lace, I reckon.

Muybridge's running horse photos, but with a bit of YouTube buffering in the middle. The Creation of Charlie. The Creation of Man, but with Charlie off of Charlie bit my finger. He gone done bit God's finger the crazy fool.

A couple of movie pets for b3ta.

The Great Escape cooler scene, but the ball is being thrown for a dog to chase. Indianna Jones but the ball is a hamster playball. Ah-yippie-yi-ooh, ah-yippie-yi-yeah.

"Imagine a world where continuity supervisors don't exist..."
She's moved all the rubble, redecorated the shop and her bags have tripled in size. Much wow.

Clocks are something AI is known for being particularly bad at, so brave of Public Enemy to go full slop in their new video.
Flavor Flav's clock showing it's both I/ and (II O' Clock. Coming up to 112 O' Clock.

"The Nearly Official UK Dannii Minogue Site" - the reality
Dannii's video with her actual website from 1997, and not one that pretended border-radius existed.

We should have listened to Computer Wimp.
A page of 1983's Computer Wimp, warning about privacy in a way that's basically Zuck, DOGE, Thiel and every technocunt's plan.

A few for b3ta's Dr Who Goes Pop challenge
b3ta.com/challenge/dr...
Crosby, Stills & Nash hiding behind their sofa to watch a VHS of Genesis of the Daleks Dark Side of The Moon with Tom Baker's scarf being knitted. I didn't think of Dark Side of The Loom when I posted it, but would have been a better title. The troubling Dr Who pavement head moment, mixed with Shut Up And Dance's Raving I'm Raving, as Paving I'm Paving. Bob Dylan goes electric by being upgraded by a Cyberman.

Sam Altman is The Book Thief. Perhaps should have been Zuck but no one cares about Meta AI, do they? Falling Down as Falling Dow with Trump behind his podium. I think this works, though I haven't a clue about economics.

"There has never been a good double album" and "It would have been better as one killer disc" are not mutually exclusive.
