The most brilliant outcome of this mess is; Count Binface is the genuine protest candidate and if he gets elected it would literally make my year

Forget vibe coding. It's time for Chaos Coding: -> Prompt Claude 3.7 Sonnet with your vague idea. -> Say "keep going" repeatedly. -> Watch an incredible product appear from utter chaos. -> Pretend you're still in control. Lean into Sonnet's insanity — the results are wild.

One of the weakest books in the series, but one of my favourite of his jokes - he teases out for so long till it's more sad than funny. Then smacks you with the punchline that ironically it's the "useless" population that survives.
In one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, there's a scene where a planet is doomed — so they divide society into three groups to evacuate: #1: the best and brightest #2: management consultants and marketing execs #3: builders and doers The planet sends off Ship 2 first, convincing them they are the best folks to start populating a new world. But then you slowly realize that Ships 1 and 3 never actually intend to follow behind them... because the original planet has never actually been in danger. They just wanted the consultants gone. 😂

A today years old thing. (To be honest I am pretty sure we didn't even touch on the book being a political allegory)
Just watched a TV play version of An Inspector Calls, as dutiful dad to a GCSE revisionist. To my shame I'd never seen/read it in my life. The conversation after went something like:

I don't often whinge publicly, but public service announcement: @tescomobile has dire customer service (and their web chat team, who they incessantly push as the "best way to contact us" can do literally nothing on their systems). #fuming

An exercise in how hype coupled with immature technology ends in disaster....
The AI-generated "script" actors were given for the Glasgow Wonka event is.. something. Aside from featuring staging and effects that would be impressive for a moderately-sized West End spectacular, its stage directions also dictate precisely how delighted the audience will be.

This is the most hilarious thing. GBN are shrill on immigration and scroungers, and yet a majority of their viewers are not in paid employment (there are more GB News viewers unemployed than there are actvie asylum seekers). The solution is obvious...
Replying to @2ears2wheels
85% white, 4% black, 8% Asian 3% mixed/other. Most aren’t in paid employment.

Elizabeth Clarke (23) got married to James Kerley (38) in Co. Louth on January 29th, 1929. I looked for recent articles remembering her and couldn't find any, so figured I'll write something myself. The story is heartbreaking and shameful. The thread is for Elizabeth. /1

At the start of the latest Only Connect series the subtitles used to put the names of the song in the music round, recent episodes they've stopped. Coincidence? I like to think someone realised & put a stop to it. @VictoriaCoren

(this is one of the side effects of having a baby who regularly screamed through parents TV time... She's in bed now and we still have subtitles on)

Vile racist woman. But an alternate view here is she's the stalking horse; taking the blame for all the policies that have gone down so badly with the wider electorate (echr withdrawal, Rwanda policy, etc.)

Also deliberately brutal to stoke sympathy.
