Happy 12th anniversary of the day Kim Jong Un visited the lube factory.
Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
The vole site is SEVEN years old tomorrow (some years I’ve got it wrong & celebrated on the 5th), blimey I’ve had to focus on other stuff this year, but it’ll be back

Brainmage.itch.io@brainmage.bsky.social · yesterdayTurn a film into a film about shitting yourself by adding a letter: Logan's Runs
right, ok, enough self-pity, I need to turn my shit pub around. it's in Stratford, it's got a (small) stage, there has to be someone who has something cool they want a space for queer-run, extremely diverse venue (we even let mumbling old white geezers in) what I'd call 'mostly accessible'
Went into town wearing shades today but any coolness factor was easily outweighed by having to explain in shops that I couldn’t see what’s on the payment terminal as I didn’t have my proper glasses with me
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

I came across this a while back and ended up saving it because it was so accurate and depressing
I will remember Rod Liddle for the fact that the lawyer who checked my book before publication had no issue with me writing that Liddle couldn’t be a teacher because he’d have had sex with the students. Why? Because Liddle wrote it in a national magazine.
The two main thoughts that rattle around my head about AI: 1. “Don’t outsource your core competency”; that’s when slop happens, and a lot of people are falling into it 2. Novices are so screwed; at best, it's tech for wary experts who know what to ask for and when they’re being fed bullshit
oh god, time to own up to something: when Simon Clarke got appointed as chief sec to the Treasury I told a bunch of people "wouldn't it be funny if that was a psy op from No10 to make Rishi look even smaller than he is" and it ended up spirralling so much that the Mail on Sunday did a story on it
Jonn Elledge@jonnelledge.bsky.social · 2d agoDo you remember how the Treasury photo ops in that era happened on the stairs so that no one would notice that Simon Clarke was a foot taller than his boss?
Now remembering the wonderful series where he kept making terrible food & his chum Gordon would then pull a face & describe it as slightly bitter www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuLk...

Toby Miller@tobytram.bsky.social · 2d agoThis hour long episode of Mears' TV show, where he builds a canoe, is a hallmark of slow television, and an example of the thing youtube now does so well - letting you sit alongside an expert and a teacher. There's no ticking clock, no invented rush, no talking down to you. youtu.be/ZqmHqrHr8xg?...
SO many people I know have parents with loads of stuff that no one else has room for and are dreading having to go through it & sell/chuck things at what will be a difficult enough time
HappyToast@happytoast.co.uk · 3d agoThis reminded me, the number of Cliff Richard records turning up in charity shops is shocking. Was in one the other day and they had a whole section laid out, records, books, mugs, easily more than one person's collection. Musical taste as a death demographic.
Whatever you do don’t take me to The Island from The Prisoner! I’d hate to live in a cool rent free apartment full of bold late 60s modern furniture haha noooo a bubble don’t chase me haha
saw some mummers today in amazing costumes. great basketry on display. this happened while i was hanging out in a temporary folklore gallery space. sidmouth in folk week is just like this
Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:

Superman the movie is on BBC2 now. Here is a piece I did on it for @cinephiliabeyond.org : cinephiliabeyond.org/wonder-lyric...
To the Wonder: The Lyrical Appeal and Influence of Richard Donner’s ‘Superman’ • Cinephilia & Beyond

This is amazing. This is the shirt Kevin Carroll wore to be on a Widow’s Bay panel at Comicon. Katie Dippold was there too (but not dressed as the Babadook).
