Not like John Cleese to have a moan 🤔

Really loved the tone of the follow-up post too. ‘Don’t worry - we’ll publish a blog tomorrow explaining to you dum-dums why this is good, actually.’

What’s the Over/Under on the number of times Crofty will use the ‘Lights, Camara, Action!’ joke next season? (Also, why are so many F1 drivers annoyingly handsome? Rafael looks like one of those ‘turn yourself into a Disney prince’ AI generations.)

Had one of those days at work where 99.5% of it was fine/great, and then the last part was so upsettingly shit that I’ve gone home and sat for four hours wondering whether anything I do or produce has any intrinsic value whatsoever. You can see why folk just become writers. I wouldn’t even do events

Bonus points for the three years of classic British build-up of ‘This is going to be shit.’

Given that their charter has rightly gone down like a balloon made of compacted medical waste, their best PR strategy might be to claim a rogue AI wrote all of it.

Always happy to see Scotland’s women’s team do well, but that’s a fearsome playoff prospect they’ve earned themselves.

From there, their place in round two of the play-off was confirmed and they will face Sweden, who won 10-0 on the night - and 15-0 on aggregate - against Lithuania in Stockholm.

Bloody hell. I only found out I had ‘please scrape all of my Snapchat content for AI training’ turned on when I was trying to find ‘Please stop showing me Spotlight notifications every day - I’ve asked you before, but you’ve toggled it back on again.’ Insidious pricks.

Generative AI Settings (now toggled off), allowing Snap to use public content I’ve shared to develop and improve Snap’s generative AI content creation models. This can improve the quality and safety of these models for all Snapchatters.

Don’t really buy old games any more, but I did pick this one up pretty much purely for the cover art. There’s a lot going on, but for me the highlight might be the Rictus Sisters over there.

Cover of Soccer for the Game Boy. A player in a white kit bursts through an image of a stadium, kicking a ball, while other players, managers, a referee in a very formal top and two cheerleaders surround the central ball-kicker

The two cheerleaders, in Stars and Stripes outfits, cheer on the players with faces displaying forced and fixed enthusiasm

I think I’m comfortably in the boat where it doesn’t bother me in and of itself, but I’m pretty sure we used to have more than one thing 😃 And the only embarrassing stuff in Boston happened on the pitch.

I genuinely love how many of the UK Twitter Nutterati I never think about now, and only hear about when they totally biff a by-election, get sacked from their minor media job, or their court case comes up.

Okay, the last few plays of that game were worth it. Wild to see the Jaguars winning a heartbreaker!

Or, alternatively… 😅

I always feel sorry for ‘The UK’s Jacksonville Jaguars.’ Hey, we like them. But there’s a lot of fans who are getting their one chance to see whichever team they’re playing, so most of the time it always feels at best like a neutral venue. Today, as it sometimes does, it sounds like an away game.

Of all the Jaguars drives to have ever existed, that one was particularly Jaguaresque.

The end of this Jaguars-Eagles first half has been a hard sell for newcomers #NFL

I see they’ve played a radio message from Hamilton at the end: "Sorry, boys. I let you down today with that strategy. My call, and I lost us valuable points. I'll try and make up for it in the next one.” Maybe what they actually need is a stronger hand at the tiller. I honestly don’t know.

I swear the penalty for pass interference in the NFL could be 14 automatic points, and defenders would still blatantly do it.

If Verstappen tried to keep that position over Norris like Hamilton did, the BBC comments section would have caught fire.

George Russell continues to presumably walk under every ladder he sees.

There’s every chance that my defective memory is shrouding some classics from me, but it feels like the Singapore Grand Prix has always been a race that looks great in photos but isn’t exactly a thriller, Crashgate aside.

‘Sorry, Karun. I had to bellow over what was clearly the end of your sentence there to tell you that a driver’s feet might be a bit damp.’ #F1

Good To Be Back - Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren)

Opened up Grindr for the first time in three months, and got a message “Hey! How are you?” Replied “I’m good, thanks! How are you?” No response. Great to see they’re still playing the classics on there.

A week into having one of those low-level colds where you get no sympathy, have to do all your regular work and chores, and twice a day think it’s clearing up a bit, before you walk ten steps and cough up something that looks like a Boglin.

I hardly ever buy it, so I’m probably coming very late to this gripe, but didn’t tins of corned beef use to be cheap? I know everything in the supermarket costs a hundred pounds now, but £4 a can for minced miscellanea feels truly mad.

Again, I think you can generally judge the quality of an #SNLUK episode by how surprised you are that it’s already time for the second musical number. Rattled along this week

#SNLUK remains at its best IMO when it goes totally unhinged. Some class Weekend Update bits this week.

Palantir AI probe leads to Met Police volunteer chief's dismissal

I’m kind-of landing less softly on ‘Don’t use your work phone to make copies of one-view nudes you’ve been personally sent’, and more harshly on ‘This level of employer and AI snooping feels immoral, unsustainable and downright creepy.’ I don’t want this society. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
