Michael Palin grew up in house 10 mins walk from where I grew up. He's also the only Python I've seen in person. He also has the same first name as me. This is why he is the best one

Ok sure Kashyyxit failed but it would have succeeded if the trade federation wasn't fucked over by corrupt Coruscant bureaucrats.

I think the solution to this overpriced planning nightmare is that they should just commit to build a high speed railway to connect it to Gatwick, Luton and Stansted.

I found a load of old cartoons off my old website the other day, and Claude me new individual web pages, with correct titles and descriptions for each one, and told me one was racist.

It's nice they let the work experience guy get some real world reporting experience but they really should let the grown ups edit his copy

People used to say "read another book!" but it increasingly seems like nobody read those ones either.

people are blaming Ed Sheeran for cowardice but have they considered that Robert Kraft owns the Fountain of Popularity on which all his work depends?

Also I imagine by the year 3000 Busted will have diversified into crypto.

This is not a boast or a particular dig at Ed Sheeran but if you told me that he had in fact never released any music and actually he's a just a name various singers use when the record company butchers their albums I'd believe you.

In both China and the west, the gig economy has become a sort of safety net/labour market shock absorber. But automation is coming for a lot of this work. Which means the biggest impact of AI/robots might unfold in the dark, in the part of the economy hardest to track. www.ft.com/content/a2c3...

Much has been written about the confused chronology of Busted's "Year 3000" but it really is very unambitious that everyone bought their _seventh_ album and not, like, their 80th.

Ed Miliband seems to be a bit of a bogeyman in boomer social media apparently. He's going to turn off the telly because of net zero (even though he wouldn't have just been able to that as energy sex, and anyway he's now foreign secretary)

Remember: it could be someone you know.
[Scene is a parody of a 1970s Public Information Film. A young girl is going home from school.] 

1
[She leaves the school gates]. 

VOICEOVER:

The world today
is full of people.

2
You meet lots of them every day. 

[The girl crosses the road with the help of a LOLLIPOP MAN]

3
LOLLIPOP MAN says ’to camera’ [girl’s POV]:

Mind ‘ow you go, love.

4
But every time you meet one,

[She gets on a bus]

5
BUS DRIVER [also talking to camera]:

That’ll be 40p, please

6
[She enters a sweet shop]

You must always think to yourself:

7
[The kindly looking woman behind the counter hands her a bag of pick n mix]
 
KINDLY WOMAN:
There y’are, sweet’art...

8
[Voiceover again]:

Could *they* be a person who leaves one-star reviews for things when they get sent the wrong item?

9
[The woman picks up a smartphone to write something]

10
[Cut to a view of her phone screen, it is an Amazon review page for Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro]: 
 
Never Let Me Go
by Kazuo Ishiguro
[one star]
THIS ISN’T A PRIT STICK

11
[Woman looks ‘to camera’ at the girl, sinisterly]

12
[Girl’s terrified face behind the ad’s final text line]:

Always have one-star-reviewers-of-things-for-not-being-other-things sense.

Here is my top tip if you feel tempted to do something stupid yet unverifiable to shock and piss off everyone you know: don't do it just say you did it. 👍

Ooh big fan of takes where it starts off reasonable and then goes nuts in the second half. Like "nothing wrong with 'ice cream guy' - ice cream is good and fathers should bond with their kids - but remember that men should not use spoons because it's gay"

I think the thing that has appealed to me about Andy Burnham is that he's the exact age and demographic for me that it triggers early 90s kids TV presenter nostalgia. He's Neil Buchanan. He's Andy Crane. He's knighted the Inspiral Carpets. He's appointed Nobby the Sheep as Home Secretary.

"Thom Yorke" has lots of extra letters in his name, but this is actually because of a misunderstanding about the old english letter Þ. His real name is Yom Thork.

Well I just found out that 22 days ago I passed the age David Cameron was when he became Prime Minister. I guess one way of looking at it is that while I'll never achieve so much or affect so many lives, at least I'll never achieve so much or affect so many lives.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,
