The extent to which every single one of these panics features people being shown all the previous ones – video games, TV, radio, novels – and insisting that no, no this time is *actually* different (even though the others said that too) is really approaching the Arrested Development meme levels
No thank you, Facebook
OB usually works out of a truck - there isn’t a dedicated broadcast facility at the Southbank Centre. But yes, an editorially odd decision.

BBC News headlines: Education School caterers 'confident' of meat Missing children data 'worrying'
Happy 13th anniversary to this pair of matching news headlines.
Not a Prime Minister, but in the dying days of the 2010-2015 Parliament I was asked to take a bottle of whisky to Nick Clegg’s office to be signed for charity - a colleague who caught me on the way asked if someone else was taking the revolver…

Cartoon showing a street in the rain. A man on a bike is delivering food, while another courier is delivering packages from Amazon. Two other workers are collecting garbage. Inside one of the houses on the street, we see robots labeled 'AI' sitting dry and warm, engaged in making a paining, playing the violin and writing.

Lavena, Fiji, to Kanacea, Fiji: Can't seem to find a way there on Google Maps
The 180th meridian cut-off point
This is so lame: In Google Maps, navigation is not possible within the Taveuni island, Fiji, if crossing the 180th meridian, only if staying on one side of it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180th_m...
