another good way of thinking about what cracking value radio 4 is that it makes twenty hours of programming a day - news, drama, comedy, documentaries, a soap opera, arts - for about £90m/yr, while spotify pay joe rogan about £60m/year to listen gullibly to liars for about nine hours per week

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

I know it's late in his career but I'd like to see Tom Jones release a follow-up song called 'It IS Unusual', which focuses on rare but documented phenomena like Halley's Comet.

Someone was surprised to learn that I yeet bugs out instead of *gently relocating* them. I appreciate the gesture. But in the tropics, seeing bugs where they shouldn't be is an hourly—not weekly thing. You learn what can survive a yeet to save time. In this thread I'm rating animal yeetability.

Just heard Clare Balding use the phrase 'do not adjust your set!' and I thought (a) soon enough, nobody will understand what that even means and (b) it was always a funny expression. 'Hmm, a surprising sports result - there must be something wrong with my TV!'

lots of people frame restore and reform as only being a problem if they win elections. But they don't have to win elections. they can win by installing their views in the national conversation - influencing labour party policy for example. starting riots and flag shagging etc etc

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
