my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

CONTROLLED CHAOS My first long-read is out. On Newcastle United 2.0: analysis of the start to the season, the intelligence of Sean Steur and Nico Gonzalez, Joe Willock’s resurgence, Rory Finneran at Notts County and a bit of vibe scouting on Martin Baturina. Enjoy! 🔗👇 #NUFC

Any excuse for the C*nt in a Clown Suit story
![• [While filming 'Ashes to Ashes'] So we're on the beach shooting this scene with a giant bulldozer.
The camera was on a very long lens. [The camera is along way away, but the artist fills the frame] In this video I'm dressed from head to toe in a clown
suit. Why not. I hear playback and the music starts. So off | go, I start singing and walking, but as soon as I do this old geezer with an old dog walk right between me and the camera... Well, knowing this is gonna take a while I walked past the old guy and sat next to camera in my full costume waiting for him to pass. As he is walking by camera the director said, excuse me Mr do you know who this is? The old guy looks at me from bottom to top and looks back to the director and said... "Of course I do!!!! its some cunt in a clown suit." That was a huge moment for me, It put me back in my place and made me realize, yes I'm just a cunt in a clown suit. I think about that old guy all the time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:irlrdb4p2swljzcdjbhc54gd/bafkreieb55i4eginagztqokd4mkexug6p63to4plaip6q3i36a6jo3vvuy)
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Eddie Robson@eddierobson.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head: 1. And that little boy, who nobody liked, grew up to be... 2. Ah Lisa, that's just a load of rich creamery butter 3. Oh, I'm not a doctor 4. I needed those. I really did 5. He wore sneakers! For... sneaking!
Given that #NUFC have just acquired Woolsington Hall, I doubt his cousin Lewis will be going to Man United
okay so just checking in on the UK media. learning lots. being trans isn’t real. ADHD isn’t real. being disabled isn’t real. but what is real is Harry Potter
Great read, this. I had a few email conversations with Andy twenty years or so ago - he didn’t have footage of any of his NUFC goals, and I have all the VHS season reviews as I’m a massive nerd
Tom Easterby@tje93.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt was great fun to interview former #NUFC forward Andy Hunt about his varied life in and out of football. We spoke about leaving his job as a pensions administrator at Norwich Union to join the Magpies, his role at AZ Alkmaar and how he ended up spending 20 years running a jungle resort in Belize.
Context is critical to any design and seeing a potential new crest in the context of the shirt. I don't think it looks that bad. #nufc
"It's part of a consultation on a new NUFC crest, T. They can't vote to keep the current one and have to choose from three that look like a spot the difference a kid has done using Microsoft paint. It's about recognition globally or some shit, I don't know" #NUFC

Can’t believe Johnny Depp is playing Ebenezer Goode. Still, it’ll be interesting to see the character’s origin story, and find out how he got so naughty.
The Human League - Reproduction. Their first, weirdest and, for me at least, best. Bears little resemblance to the two (very good) bands that emerged from the original group.

How many AI models does it take to change a lightbulb? That's a great question, which shows that you care about illumination! You don't just want to see - you want to be seen. Unfortunately no such thing as a lightbulb has ever existed or will ever exist.
