If you need a timeline cleanse you should know that Dexter Sol Ansell who plays Egg on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms went to school as Egg for World Book Day.
I very much hope those in government will read this and understand the risk they're taking with one of the UK's most consistently successful sectors - a risk profoundly bound up in an enormous speculative bubble and tech that has horrific externalities and is terrible at nearly everything.
Oliver Reed at maximum in this Hammer thriller π
It must be really hard working in a professional kitchen what with all the spies and secret agents in hot pursuit of bad guys constantly running through smashing up all your shit.

Glad to see Alan Cumming making a statement on the BBC failure:
βIβm so sorry for all the pain Black people have felt hearing that word echoed round the world. Iβm so sorry the Tourettes community has been reminded of the lack of understanding and tolerance that abounds regarding their condition."
Swedes are boycotting American beers. The state monopoly off licence Systembolaget reports a drop in sales of American beer of 13% and they've cut 100+ beers from their offering. Lowest sales since the George W Bush / Iraq war era.

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your βvery extensive dataβ and βhaving spoken to over a third of eligible votersβ which led you to an understanding that the by election βwas a contest between labour and Reformβ. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu βDhokaβ ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you donβt want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.β Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?
I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

The only highlight of this one for me sadly.

I don't think I've actually been excited to update to the latest version of Firefox since the version number was in single figures, but the latest version - 148 - ships with a "switch off all AI" setting that I have swiftly enabled.
Any software that includes AI should have a kill switch like this
