A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

This reads to me very much like the tale of somebody who once said PRIMM-er by mistake in front of people and got the piss absolutely ripped out of them, and who after many many years of hard work and perseverance finally achieved control of the Merriam-Webster social media accounts

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔
zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

What a privilege to see @edwyncollins.bsky.social on his testimonial tour. Glorious voice, impeccable songs and one hell of a band. Curious choice of venue (basically a church hall in Southampton) but there was so much love in that room. Thank you for everything, Edwyn.

La Voix’s dad Richard, who will be 80 soon, was her drag family resemblance makeover on Drag Race UK last year. He was so entirely unflappable and supportive of Chris and it made everyone cry on Gogglebox too #Strictly #SCD

awh, this is a lovely piece by @janeskyn.bsky.social about the loss of her consumer testing feline sidekick, Iggy, who I've always thought must be a relative of Daphne's given his long tabby-and-white floof and bandit mask. Losing a cat is really hard. www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

Fully expected to be too lazy to skeet again until Eurovision 2026, but I saw this from the ever-excellent @itpro.com and had to share. Please for the love of god stop putting AI-gen rhinos in your newsletters. www.itpro.com/technology/a...

I've sort of lost the social media habit since that boy burnt down Twitter. Haven't forgotten you, though. Here's a pic of Iggy watching last night's semi. He liked Malta.

For the Saturday Guardian I dug into the history of Ticketmaster and how the ticketing industry works to work out why tickets at the top level have become so expensive and hard to get

Who is behind the great rock’n’roll ripoff? How Ticketmaster swallowed the live entertainment scene
From grassroots gigs to stadium shows, there’s no escaping the ticketing giant, making billions from hiking up prices (and whacking on fees)

A color photo of a cafe scene in Paris. There are small tables and one table has a woman with red hair writing with a pen. There is a newspaper and a coffee cup on the table. The background is blurry but you can see human figures.

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush (look out for the unimpressed manager!)
