What the hell is going on with this latest round of Windows 11 patches? First they say Outlook might not run, then PCs weren't able to be shut off, now they're saying some might not boot at all... they've issued two patches to the patch so far. It's nuts, are they slop coding the OS now, too?

Which brings us to the House of Lords Digital Committee, which is looking at the government’s brilliant idea of giving away everyone’s copyright to American artificial intelligence giants, in return for a bag of magic beans that can only be seen by the very wisest ministers. A consultation on this last year found it was supported by just three percent of respondents, which must be some kind of record. That’s even smaller than the number of people who believe that the Loch Ness monster is real, or that Keir Starmer is doing a good job.

On Tuesday, the committee was treated to a joint appearance from Technology Secretary Liz Kendall and Claims-To-Be-Culture-Secretary Lisa Nandy. Two secretaries of state at once! Or one-and-a-half, anyway. β€œI don’t think our secretaries of state need much introduction,” Committee Chair Baroness Keeley said. Other opinions are available. 

They had come, it turned out, not to defend their own proposals, but to bury them. β€œWe are having a genuine reset mom

Artificial Unintelligence: the government is in full retreat over copyright, and the attempts to make it look dignified only make it funnier. My SKETCH.

My Christmas gift - panto for FREE 🌟β™₯️🌟

10 yrs ago I made Panto! for BBCStoryville. A feature doc about an am-dram group staging a panto - Puss in Boots at the Nottingham Arts Theatre.

A tiny budget, a punishing schedule & a ramshackle donkey costume are just some of the challenges they face

According to some other YouTube creators, YT is using AI age gating to incorrectly censor content for many users.

So in case you missed it, here's our latest video which features a whole section about Hitler's penis. Thank you.

Listen, we are in a terrible and difficult time where the horrors can often feel overwhelming. Lean into the things that bring you joy. If that means that sometimes you're wringing that last drop of dopamine out of watching bad people suffer as the result of their poor choices, you do you.

just been camping for the first time in my life and i have some valuable camping advice: take everything with you. Everything in your house. Take your whole house with you and live in it. Live inside your house, at home. Stay at home, living in your house with everything in your house.

I would like to be Chrisjen Avasarala: impeccably-dressed, running things, swearing like a sailor.

But I am Camina Drummer: barely keeping it together, sort of in charge, with a lot of complicated relationships and a strong eyeliner game.

Maybe you woke up today and said 'I need to do commentary and presentation using authentically-researched fonts from WARGAMES."

You're in luck - the work has been done for you.

John Singer Sargent, Madame X (Virginie AmΓ©lie Avegno Gautreau) (1883–84).

She is portrayed standing against a dark, neutral background that emphasizes her pale, luminous skin and elegant posture.

She wears a dramatic, black satin evening gown with jeweled straps and a plunging neckline that reveals her shoulders and dΓ©colletage. Originally, one strap was painted slipping off her shoulderβ€”a suggestive detail that Sargent later repainted due to public scandal. Her pose is poised yet aloof: her right hand rests on a small, ornate table while her left arm is relaxed at her side, and her body twists subtly, creating a graceful curve. Her expression is distant, with a slight tilt of the head and a cool, almost haughty gaze.
