Good grief!
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

I couldn’t afford it after all that insurance fraud; Stephen has such an honest face
I can confirm he was the face! Even saw the billboards with my own eyes
I wanted to adapt Kind Hearts and Coronets myself, so I’m glad my HTMAK negative campaign is working
James Hamilton is off to the Emmys and I am so proud and in awe!
"The military actions obliterating Iran's nuclear capacity once-and-for-all were becoming more frequent."
They might as well call it Operation Tiny Penis. Pathetic.
Small Prophets: magnificent.
Give Doctor Who to Mackenzie Crook.
A thorough - and thoroughly entertaining - article about the 1980s TV career of Kenneth Williams, the king (or jester) of the British chat show!
An absolutely wonderful article! Thank you so much for writing it. I think if I had to choose a single TV broadcast to enjoy for the rest of my life, it would be An Audience with Kenneth Williams. Even as a child I adores it, without understanding any of the references!
Same. Public bum exposure throughout is mandatory, as a sign of respect

Giving a lecture about his bum, with illustrations of his bum, while fully dressed to an audience of nudists.
Plus Tom and Ken - like Terry-Thomas, Claude Rains, and countless others known for distinctive posh voices - were working class men who adopted mannerisms and accents to pass for higher. That’s where I got it from, even if the velvet came from Jon Pertwee.
It’s a topic I’d love to explore!
Without being entranced by their work when he was still in single digits, young DKB would never have set his sights on the arts, or questioned his sexuality, or even realised that other forms of male behaviour existed.
Culturally, formatively, the greatest impact in my life came from two people.
One is Tom Baker’s Doctor Who.
The other is Kenneth Williams.
“He was queer in every sense, truly at odds with the world in which he found himself.”

"Emergency podcasts, sir. Thousands of 'em"
Can't believe the establishment have arrested him to distract from the announcement of the 4K Blu-ray release of the 1996 Dr Who TV movie.
Absolutely delicious
BBC News reports that Prince Andrew was arrested on his birthday
IMAGINE being the cop who got to snarl “Happy Birthday” at him this morning. You’d replay that glorious moment for the rest of your life.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Hurray! ❤️❤️❤️
Come to ours please, we want to hear you prattle, we'll pay you in tea and takeout food!
Well fuck it, I've started writing a stage play.
It's been a 5 years, probably more, since I did anything for stage. Christ knows if I'll finish it, but I just felt I had to do this one.
Every so often I return to this sketch, to enjoy 2 minutes of the tightest writing + performing in comedy:

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
UK inching closer towards the political apocalypse:
- Prime Minister resigns
- Snap election
- Reform voted in
- Emergency podcasts every hour of the fucking day
Sadly HMV doesn’t stock Eureka titles in store at all (they used to - on their own shelf - but they had a disagreement with Eureka). Oddly they do online, however!
