Ofcom is becoming a retirement home? :)
I have a sore throat but that's how I often feel anyway, so not sure if it's the same sore throat. (Hope you feel better soon!)
Also the Milk Bar, which was so simple and calm compared to so much of modern Soho’s branded, crowded Instagram fest.
Because the railways will be well funded and efficient, right?
That was the best.
“We know changes like this can raise questions, and we want to be clear about what this means for customers.”
But not actually answer any of the questions most likely to be raised?
Yeah nice. But the data misses out the smaller, usually cheaper, two between us and Tesco (you know the ones Tom!)
Yeah, that’s a good ‘un!

I always liked the Simon Munnery line:
“Many are willing to suffer for their art. Few are willing to learn to draw.”
Now you could replace the last three words with “do anything but instruct an AI”.
No, not as catchy but still.

On the one hand this is a silly Godwin’s Law bit of satire. On the other, I think about the truth of it daily.
I did not expect my find myself on the Royalist side in the second English Civil War and yet
Listening to it now. Merry Christmas Ted!

I'm definitely not saying self-driving cars are the answer but he's right, that *is* how I feel every day (that I drive)! I'm amazed there aren't cars crashing constantly, speeding past each other, a few feet away, at 60mph each. 😬

Everyone: The government should leave X, the extreme-right-supporting platform.

Sadly, I'm leaving my job at <newspaper> due to the new management cosying up to our fascist government. Please join my new Substack.
Yoz is clearly a friend of the stars! What more context could you need?
@yoz.bsky.social I'm sorting through old photos and found this happy memory.
An old photo of a poster advertising "Friday's West End Final" edition of the Evening Standard newspaper. The headline is "FIRST MOBILE PHONE WITH TV".
Original sin, 2005.
Yeah it's strange. I'm usually beguiled by the design which I like. But that doesn't keep me dry.
A summary of Monday's weather showing an 80% chance of rain.
A graph of Monday's precipitation, showing only a 40% chance of rain at 1 am. Above it says there's an 80% chance for the whole day. Below it says "The daily chance of precipitation tends to be higher than the chance for each hour."
I like the Apple Weather app but even if its daily summaries of precipitation chance are statistically accurate (although I don't understand how) I'd say they usually give a less-than-useful impression.
Same. Unsubscribe from things! Set up filters! Tidy up! I get twitchy if I have a dozen _read_ emails sitting in my inbox still needing my attention at some point.
And, I think, managing to use "blogs” to mean both "blogs” and "blog posts”, as well as using "blog posts”, so who knows what any of it means. Sterling work.
Out to whoever was in charge of moving the British Library blogs to a new platform, breaking all existing URLs to posts, and not including an RSS feed in the specs for the new system.

It's tempting to rejoin the Labour Party just so I can have the satisfaction of canceling my membership and burning my membership card.
Yeah, it's a bit 😬 round here. Hope all goes OK.
