I can only imagine how annoying this routine is for people who don’t like Stewart Lee
David Collard@davidcollard.bsky.social · 2d agoMany people outside the UK have been asking me who Rod Liddle was.

My pitch is that Universal announce a screenwriting contest for Jaws 6, with the top five to pitch their movies live to Universal execs at a coastal aquarium.

So far today my children have claimed: - the eldest one was never born and has always been the youngest one in disguise - France will begin a nuclear war with Italy this morning
That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

This Is My Glasgow@thisismyglasgow.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Art Deco former Odeon Cinema on Renfield Street in Glasgow. Designed by Verity and Beverley, it opened in 1934 as the Paramount with a seating capacity of 2,800. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #cinema #artdeco
jesus christ, this would be groundbreaking. I got my official retroactive diagnosis when I had surgery and after I woke up the doctor was like "yep we fixed the cystic ovaries but also we took out your appendix because endo adhesions had just sorta eaten it" and that is not ideal!

Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 6d ago👀 Fascinated by the "withdrawn by its agents" detail. So the AI use was so blatant that the agents due a huge payday preemptively withdrew the contract?
