Survey they just quoted on the radio said that 10% more people think the BBC is biased to the Left than think it's biased to the right. So, it's time for *checks notes* the Royalist loving, Farage loving, BBC to shift Right, apparently. You know, for balance and neutrality.

If Right wing Christians actually believed in Hell and demons, they'd be saying ChatGPT, Grok, etc were demons, wouldn't they? They're literally doing Satan's work (if you believed in Satan).
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

I thought Meg White was dead there for a second. It turns out she's just not turning up at The White Stripes' induction into the RnR Hall of Fame. Phew.

I strongly condemn any talk of Christmas, or Christmas decoration, before Dec 1st. Christmas is currently 10,000+ days away. No thoughts of Christmas need to be thought. Cast them out of your mind.

UK media unashamedly using the train attack to push AI powered digital surveillance and digital ID agenda. Acting like images can't already be instantly shared and that AI can magically stop crime before it happens.

The German Dunkelflaute (meaning "dark doldrums") is known in English as anticyclonic gloom. High pressure traps clouds at a lower level, makes everything seem dark and dreary, and increases the probability and longevity of fog. Happy November, everyone.

It’s Jeremy Brett’s birthday
Here’s my favourite Holmes delivering a pub fight masterclass with panache, killer moves & a knowing smile.
He even gets a round of applause from the regulars at the end.
Love the post-fight analysis with Watson.
The man was ridiculously watchable.

This New Yorker documentary about the 1988 UK government ban on broadcasting the voices of Sinn Féin and I.R.A. leaders is pretty good but they show *that clip from The Day Today with no explanation and no indicator that it is satire.
