Listen, it doesn't matter how many times Channel 4 shows us the news footage from 1991, I just refuse to believe Robert Maxwell's Death Yacht was called "Lady Ghislaine". No-one who was around at the time remembered this until... you know... recently. Obviously a ret-con.

D'you remember the days when cyberpunk represented a dystopia? If you told me today that the future's going to be like "Blade Runner" or "Neuromancer", I'd be relieved there's at least going to be a functioning civilisation in forty years. Where at least the evil AIs don't try to draw.

Well, I don't know about "satisfying". The word I'd use would be "thorough".

Watching "Kingdom" on BBC1, and it's really not following the story arc of the first three seasons. But replacing Stephen Fry with an elephant was definitely a good choice.

Due to the '80s release of Queen's "Greatest Hits", I associate all their early singles with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. I hear "Killer Queen" and I can smell the Monster Manual. #TOTP #ProustForNerds

An unforeseen issue in the twenty-first century is that if we ever create actual artificial intelligences, they'll *really* resent being called AI.

Minor point: this is the sort of thing someone only does to a house if they're not expecting to ever move out.
You can rephrase that as "if they're expecting to die there" if you want to make it sound more positive.

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

Yeah, but what if this *isn't* late-stage capitalism? What if this is just the middle part of capitalism, before it goes into laying-its-eggs-inside-another-ideology-stage capitalism and makes giant capitalist wasps? Pretty sure it has to end in wasps.

"Creep" is absolutely the best song ever written for cross-genre cover versions. It's epic but pathetic, beautifully constructed but also really, really whiney. Which means that any shift into another type of music *might* be great but at the very least will be funny. #Strictly
