Confession: just laughed at a 70+ year old joke.
I’ve never really liked Take It From Here… but there was a very funny line about getting a job as a yo-yo tester.
Anyway, hope you’ve had a nice day.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

At an industry event last night one (old media) journalist said “we may need institutions like the BBC because internet searches don’t return separate news stories now, but an AI summary that is usually wrong.”
