Inadvertently just said "loser error" instead of "user error" at work.

A much underrated artform.

That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...

Polanski's an idiot, Farage is a hypocrite.

Zack Polanski’s idiot post

You'll have seen, no doubt, that Reform UK are up in arms of Zack Polanski's reposting of an image which featured a man wearing a t-shirt depicting a guillotine and the caption "We're only making plans for Nigel", a reference to an old XTC lyric obviously being used to refer to Farage. News that the Met aren't going to pursue the case has been met with the usual cries of "two-tier Britain", albeit cries that don't mention the corresponding incident that was handled differently, possibly because there wasn't one.

My cat's very poorly and I swear to God if the universe takes this useless bastard from me too soon I don't know what I'll do 💔

BOOK REVIEW: Intriguing and thoughtful account of a bizarre personality displacement that makes the most of its low page count.

Dislocation by Robert Crompton

"There is just one thing which I know about myself for certain: I am not Tom Barlow. It was the first thing that occurred to me upon waking this morning but, unlike anyone else who is not named Tom Barlow, that is the only thing I know about myself. I’m not suffering from memory loss or from any other ailment that might be found in a psychiatrist’s case file.

Really good short story idea when I was in bed last night, mapped it out and everything. Totally gone when I woke up.

Nothing makes me drop a c-bomb more automatically and unthinkingly than the BBC cancelling Bargain Hunt just because of some irrelevance like some old cock becoming PM...

Al Gore's 30 Rock cameos are frickin' genius.

Where's my big screen adaptation, eh?

If winners of Wimbledon get free tickets to Centre Court, surely there'll be a point in a few hundred years when the whole crowd will just be previous winners. That's nuts! Not sure they've thought this through. #Wimbledon

Blimey. I'm exhausted. #Wimbledon

Showing the entire point from behind one of the players... it's an interesting angle, but shite for seeing where the ball's landing at the far end. #Wimbledon

Matt Berry. That's who should have recorded the voices for the 'fault' thingy at #Wimbledon

That first set... 😱😱😱 #Wimbledon

If Jessica Knappett was a man she'd look like Alexander Zverev. #Wimbledon

Well, rooting for Muchova, but to get her head back in the game after that second set, you can't do anything but applaud Noskova. Helluva final, and either player would have deserved that. Extraordinary entertainment. #Wimbledon

Muchova definitely has something of the Deb about her... #Wimbledon

Holy heck, who saw a third set coming after the first 45 minutes? Total respect for Muchova, that was some turnaround... #Wimbledon

I mean, it's only one of the precious few industries we still lead in, why bother investing in it? 🤷🏻

Performing and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from a government teaching grant as part of “difficult decisions” about spending priorities, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.

"the people of Clacton should be the judges of my actions" Given all your dedicated constituency work, Nige, I reckon you're a shoe-in 😂😂😂 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton, triggering by-election which he says he will stand in

The Reform UK leader's statement follows reports he failed to declare financial support from an ally. He has also faced questions over an unregistered £5m gift from a donor.

Fery!! #Wimbledon

Apparently Fery just stood on a juice box. You'd think #Wimbledon would be more on top of their litter than that...

"The thing about World Number Ones is that everyone else is ranked lower." Andrew Castle there, demonstrating the sort of insightful commentary that's kept him at the forefront of TV tennis coverage... 🔔🔚 #Wimbledon

Massive win from Fery, that was pretty astonishing. #Wimbledon
