I promise this is totally worth it.
In an effort at something good on the internet today: A thread on Mr KJC, gingerbread architect of the early 21st century.
Mr KJC got his beginnings like so many gingerbread architects: with a kit house for the kids. Kind of fun but the premade pieces are dry and nasty, only technically edible.

The really shocking news is that they actually got given a pay rise with the additional responsibility.
Recently got conned into a promotion that I really didn't want and now I manage nine people against my will. I spend a chunk of the extra money they pay me visiting a Dominatrix twice a month just so someone else can be in fucking charge for a change.

The actor who marries box office ratings with Wes Anderson cool should revive the Batman series, but trying to guess who she might play is a thankless task

It's because some of these people fantasise about doing what Pete H (Sec of War) has been doing in the Caribbean with small boats. That's harder to do when they are staring their target in the face.
The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

The first 2 Home Alone Movies are such classics! But they've been going downhill ever since! So happy they tried something new at last.

Billed as "A bold new programme in a media landscape dominated by groupthink and timid consensus".
Truss: "The Deep State tried to destroy me but now I'm back and excited to launch this show."

I wonder if Prof Edelman was bested by Reeves, at chess, in competition.
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

This is one of the things I despise about using chatgpt, and other LLMs. The constant "that's a great idea" or other similar responses. The default setting of sycophancy is deeply deplorable.
Users like chatbots best when they hype us up, and are outright sycophantic – like the coterie of advisers that come to surround every billionaire, leading them to become increasingly weird and ever-more convinced of their infallibility. Chatbots give the rest of us our very own sycophantic bubble.

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...
