This is the time of year to be grateful for not having things stuck in our asses, and to think of those less fortunate than us. So spare a thought for those Americans who misjudged the capacity of the...

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges
Twitter screenshot, 23 December 2016 (and god knows we needed a laugh at the end of that year): Gerry Adams, “This house is like Santa's Grotto. Takes half an hour 2 switch off fairy lights and assorted Yule illuminations. Feel like a grinch now.” Reply from ‘Eddielzzard'sBeret’: “Surely you know someone who can fit a timer.”

Samuel L Jackson is 77.
This is wonderfully in-depth interview conducted by @bilgeebiri.bsky.social
Jackson is insight as usual on the technical aspects of acting but as you can see below, he’s just damned entertaining & straight-talking: www.vulture.com/article/samu...

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower
The sun rising over the London skyline this morning, only it’s a very cloudy sky and the sun is visible only as an orange streak of fire that coincidentally seems to be emanating from the spire on the top of St Paul’s dome

There are a lot of things that make me mad. Like. A long list. But fake AI videos of wild animals doing cute things that animals do in fact do, make me so unreasonably mad. Should this incite the most rage in my heart, of all the horrible things going on right now? No. But here we are.

I love this, so it cost more, took more time, looked worse and everyone STILL hated it. I can see why so many people think it’s the future 😂😂

The company behind the mcdonalds ad:

Imagine taking more time than it would take to do something traditionally. I bet it would take a builder longer to build a house out of jelly instead of brick, because jelly isn't brick.
Our team at The Gardening.Club have been pouring in the hours to achieve something that we finally feel ready to put our name to, and while AI film might be dividing opinions, we want to open the process up and reveal just how much human expertise and craft went into this campaign. There’s this idea floating around that AI will do all the work for us. Let’s set the record straight: the man-hours poured into this film were more than a traditional Production. Yes, this ad is 100% AI. But it was built with the same care that we bring to any live-action film. The brief was tightly prescribed, with a clear mandate for every single scene, so complete control of each shot was essential and pulled off by our team using proprietary workflows, and pulled off spectacularly well, this was not a prompt-and-pray process. Just like a traditional shoot, the film needed a director, real storytelling instincts, and intentional casting, we selected and shaped each AI performer, their look, energy, and emotional presence, to meet the brief just as we would in live action film. It required virtual location scouting, solid references, screen tests, and a countless amount of takes to maintain true cinematic continuity. Our in-house Gardening.club AI and Post team, spent seven intense weeks refining every single frame. They rebuilt shots, debated composition, shaped shadows, and tuned emotional microbeats with precision all overseen by Sweetshop director duo MAMA. Many scenes had ten or more specialists, with each shot running through a tightly engineered pipeline, Google Earth base plates, style-transfer passes, pixel-level refinements, custom LoRAs, control nets, and bespoke ComfyUI workflows. We composited, fixed physics, balanced lighting, and cleaned artifacts in Flame. New tools, same goal: a film that feels real. Of course, we came across roadblocks. There were many times we were challenged, but the team was able to problem-solve on the spot. This project demanded a team willing to push further than the tech was ready to go. But that’s exactly why it works. So no - AI didn’t make this film. We did.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.
