Are these two questions connected? I don't want these two questions to be connected. I wouldn't be surprised if these two questions are connected.

What's was Henry VIII's sex life like?
Plus, why are we obsessed with dogs?

Just saw a post on LinkedIn about what we can learn from Danny Tommo about branding and social media, and honestly, the heat death of the universe can't come fast enough.

Way to tell the difference: When it's a bumbling journalist wearing glasses it's Artifical Intelligence, when it's wearing it's underpants on the outside and fighting for truth, justice, and the American way it's Super Intelligence.

To be fair, demanding the Prime Minister intervene because someone spilt your cup of tea is an excellent representation of British values.

SNL UK describing Ed Sheeran as "a passionate advocate of causes that are allowed" is such beautiful sly writing.

Spent the afternoon obsessing on chains of films within films (eg. WALL-E watching Hello Dolly) The longest I've got is a chain of 4 of Last Action Hero > Last Boy Scout > Lethal Weapon > Looney Tunes Christmas. I feel there must be a longer and less alliterative chain.

Jim Ratcliffe really does have Temu Bond Villain vibes. Less hollowed out volcano and more disused mountain warehouse.

One of things I didn't expect in my job was that at least once a week I'd have to explain that Rod Hull and Roy Hudd are different people.

Liverpool vs Spurs is proving an enjoyable watch. It's always fun when both sides default tactics are panic and hope.

I've just read As I lay Dying. Stream of consciousness writing really isn't my thing, but there were moments in brilliance in what I mostly felt was a horribly insufferable book. Also the audacity of having an entire chapter consist of "My mother is a fish" is something else.

Fern Brady wearing a camera helmet on Taskmaster and opening the task, which has a red wax seal, and reading the contents. She has a purple set of coveralls on as well, which is just fun.

It is the night of the Superb Owl. I watched it once. The memory still haunts me. Like being left for dead only for a softly spoken man to talk slowly at you until you plead with whatever God will answer to release your moribumd soul to the afterlife. Someone may have thrown a ball.
