Merry Christmas!
Thought I'd share this picture round I've just put together for a festive family quiz.
Some very quick and dirty Photoshop splicings of well-known faces – though a couple may be tricky if you're not from the UK.
Some proper nightmare fuel in there!

So satisfying to read a sensible, coherent BTL comment on an article.
In this case, it's about the use of AI in gaming: aftermath.site/larian-ceo-a...
But the article isn't really the point here - which is that a whopping proportion of what people are using AI for is just 'Google But Good'.

There are SO MANY trailers for animated films where they drop the music for a second while an animal humorously shits itself in fear, and I've always thought "that's the kind of content missing from George Orwell's work."

Can’t believe we’re having a debate about what age Nigel Farage became a racist. These allegations are like finding out that Delia Smith was very keen on cookery at school.

Great @gideonrachman.bsky.social pod ep on MAGA splits.
Might put some money on Tucker Carlson becoming president at some point, the guest's view on that was compelling.
(Only gripe is no mention that the racist 'young' Rs Vance called 'kids' were in their 20s and 30s.)

Shamefully, I've had 'Learn CPR (only takes 15 mins)' on my to-do list for so long that the BHF website link I originally had for it had changed...
I've done it now – it really does only take 15 minutes and it's very useful.

Has anyone established *why* Musk brought in and then hasn't got rid of the new location-revealing feature on Twitter?
I know he rolled it back at first, but it's live again now.
It would appear to be highly detrimental to his causes, and I struggle to believe he's had a change of heart...

Trump is a showman and respects other people’s ability to put on shows, generally. He loves theater too. He has no inner self and the show is all there is and by extension the show is all he ever sees in anyone else.
