Spending tens, or even hundreds of thousands of pounds on a digital marketing ad campaign, and then using AI generated slop for the actual ads themselves, is a very expensive way of telling people you like to cut corners.

This is an amazing artefact to discover, but also, I imagine, not worth watching unless you’re already quite drunk.
Good God, someone's just uploaded to YouTube a nearly 2-hour long video of one of the original Vic Reeves Big Night Out live shows at the Albany Empire from 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPU...

Today I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic for 32 years. A length that does seem excessive. I’m only still alive because of the NHS. And have never paid a single penny for my treatment. Which is nice. A big huspag for the NHS, which has been under attack since before I was born and continues to work miracles

The current Peloton TV advert is really, really like the early scene in nineteen eighty-four when Winston Smith gets bollocked by the telescreen for not keeping up with everyone else during morning exercises. I find it incredibly chilling.

Saw this earlier this year for the first time. Extraordinary.
I hope it's respectful today to recommend Adam McKay's movie "VICE," a bio-pic of Dick Cheney with one more amazing transformation by Christian Bale, a brilliant choice for narrator, and some truly daring/nuts fourth-wall breaking.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.
Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.
