If I read a story about how BrewDog slaughtered Scotland's last known unicorn herd for a one-off beer, then sold that beer in the actual unicorn horns, I wouldn't be shocked. 🍺🦄

I'm very much enjoying this clip of Scottish rugby captain Sione Tuipulotu, hoping for a hug from Princess Anne, as he picks up the Auld Alliance Trophy after Scotland's amazing 50-40 victory over France! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏉 #AsOne

I know the best places to nap. The best. I’m very good at naps, believe me. In fact, I know napping better than probably anyone.

Star Trek TNG Theme but the theme is coming from the Enterprise-D
Star Trek TNG Theme but the theme is coming from the Enterprise-D YouTube video by Craven In Outer Space

This is amazing. It's the Star Trek: TNG theme but it's coming from the Enterprise-D. Very clever but also hilarious. #StarTrek youtu.be/dSlGxtOTbbI?...

The temperature might only be 5℃ but if the sun is shining you can be sure that there will be some Scots out drinking beer in it! 🍻😎 #Leith #Pixel9Pro

There needs to be a word in English for persistent mild vexation. Like ennui but for being in a continual state of irritability. Maybe that is just ennui.

Holy heck. It's unreal how every single day there seems to be new footage of Mr Trump failing to enunciate basic words

I'll wager that Mr Trump refuses to have uncommon names spelled out phonetically for him as he'll perceive that as some kind of weakness. Instead he just comes across as an ignorant fool. It took me seconds online to find out how to pronounce Magouyrk correctly.

I don't know anything about Ms. Mace, or her apparent beef with Tim Walz, but speaking to him like he's a naughty child comes over as horribly patronising.

Mr Trump seems to be getting worse.

Mr Trump does seem to be getting worse. You're right though, he's never been much of a linguistic virtuoso.

Person of Interest has a great cast and writing, and while it can be watched as a case-of-the-week procedural, there are satisfying story arcs that run across and through all five seasons. 3/3 #PersonOfInterest

Person of Interest is a little high-concept, but given that it first aired back in 2011, it was ahead of its time and is now incredibly prescient in the current age of AI and surveillance. 2/3 #PersonOfInterest

Person of Interest promo image. Carter, Root, Finch, Reese, Fusco, and Shaw stand in a moody cityscape. The title of the show appears in white letters with a stylised yellow box around the word 'of'.

One of my all-time favourite TV shows, Person of Interest, has landed on Netflix. If you've never seen it, I sometimes describe it as the best Batman show on TV that doesn't actually feature Batman. Imagine if Bruce Wayne and Batman were two different people. 1/3 #PersonOfInterest

It's super weird to watch Mr Trump break down, and lose the ability to form coherent sentences, in real time.

The war Mr Trump said would never happen in the first place.

This is the sort of thing that AI is quite useful for. The proof of that though is whether ChatGPT is correct in guessing that the story described is Second Ending by James White, first published in 1961 in New Worlds magazine.

It's clear that Donald Trump cannot be trusted in any way.

Essentially: 'more brave Americans will die. Tough luck, them's the breaks'. Pretty scummy.

I re-watched Kong: Skull Island this evening. It's daft nonsense but great fun to watch. Jordan Vogt-Roberts has a keen eye for action, I hope is Metal Gear Solid film still happens.

I don't think I've ever seem Mr Trump look more unhealthy than he does in these images.

Netflix might be the real winner here. I feel that ownership of Warner Bros. may turn out to be something of a poison chalice for Paramount Skydance.

Great interview with Alex and Geddy in The Guardian. Nothing earth shattering or new but it's always good to be reminded of their close friendship. #Rush

Netflix drops Warner Bros bid, clearing way for Paramount takeover Netflix's decision to back down from the bidding war clears the path for Paramount to win the takeover battle.

I'm not entirely certain why Warner Bros. put itself up for sale in the first place but I feel that Paramount Skydance have bullied their way into buying it.
