I was with Shirley watching the fairly graphic sub/dom gay leather movie with stunt penises (at least I'm assuming they were stunt penises cos otherwise Alexander Skarsgård isn't only a gifted actor, and the world is very unfair) and it was indeed surprisingly sweet
I saw Pillion tonight. The movie where Tarzan* has gay leather sex with Harry Potter’s cousin* and it was surprisingly sweet.

not seen Kate report from DC for @channel4news.bsky.social , and not quite sure why she’s grinning like a loon when relays such serious matters. Maybe she’s been studying Laura K’s “gosh isn’t all this politics fun!” style of delivery

It should be remembered that during the pandemic, the Labour leadership went along with most government policy proposals, and when the shadow education secretary sided with teachers' unions in opposing the disastrous policy to reopen schools, Keir Starmer sacked her.

What the F Channel 4, I'm watching the news and they're talking about some massacre (I've just switched over so missed the start) and on screen they're using some AI generated visualisation. Is this what they do now?

OK, if any news programme should be experimental it’s Channel4 News, but this “AI assisted” report on the RSF massacres is absolute dogshit. Actively interferes with the reporting.
