Trying to read General Shaw's medal ribbons in WELCOME TO DERRY to work out what kind of service record he has.

He's got a presidential unit citation, and three campaigns in Europe and North Africa. 8th AF in WW2 i guess?

Always love walking past James Smith and Sons in London. Always tempted to pop in and buy a sword cane in case I need to fight a duel at the opera

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

This is your "shoeshine boy giving you stock tips" moment for AI - nobody needs an AI wash option on their washing machine!

Had to take a picture of this van because “Wow HYDRATE. Be the best” would absolutely play as a Sean Tejaratchi Crap Town ¡Especiales! bit

In a classic enshittification, LG have bricked my tv by installing a new app update and user agreement I can’t agree to because their server is borked

Elon Musk is completely insane, hyper radicalised and is now funding a far right movement led by Tommy Robinson in the UK.

What does he have to before the Uk government leaves twitter, let alone sends MI6/617 squadron?

Last night got my war altar (aka The Bishop of Marienburg blessing a humble musketeer) about 90% done.

Did it in subassembly and it’s just hit that “oh this is going to work and be a great model” phase

I have an, uh, professional interest:)

This is so bonkers, turning to your own grandfather and saying “but wouldn’t Britain be better if you had gone in an oven, papa?”

Obviously this sounds incredibly stupid but ALSO it’s quite accurate to 1960s America that if they discovered Pennywise some Don Draper CIA type would sit with Kissinger & Hoover and be like “hear me out: what if we clown-bomb Cuba? It’s totally deniable!”

Truly ai is unleashing an incredible wave of tone deaf political ads as boomers can just type their most racist thoughts into a machine and boomf, video.

I wonder how many times they had to type in PIMP to get the 70s style here!

I realise this may let on more about me than anything else, but four grand will not even remotely fill a suitcase! It will barely fill a wallet in £50 notes.

For a TV series I actually had to fill a small suitcase* with $100 bills and it was over $2 million.

*=In fact, a Ryanair-sized cabin bag.

Counterpoint: Will, ever the optimist, has already found an advantage of Claude over the current US military command. It doesn't kill civilians when it knows it's being watched!

The whole “protein powder had a load of lead in it” makes 2025 make so much more sense.

This is an outstanding piece by @stephenkb.bsky.social, and it’s absolutely true and I can’t see any way out of it for the tories.

I recently said to a friend (a fellow ex-Tory) that i could see it being a disqualifying black mark for MP selections into the 2050s.

Poorly so doing some cool old world modelling - Sylvianian road wardens/vampire hunters, and a Von Zeppel steam tank

Can’t believe they’re fat shaming the chally

If anything, the pics they chose for the young tories for the cover of the Times piece are underselling the quality of weird on display once you get beyond the paywall
