They should reveal that care workers have a 10% chance of wiping out humanity, and raise the investment that way.

The greatest game on any system, of all time, is Chaos on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. That's just scientific fact. And tonight, I've released a web-browser-based editor for it. Phew.
Edit the graphics of Chaos in your web browser. And spell data. And loads of other things.

Well, boooo. Went to the Meadow again earlier for the #ShrewsburyTownFC match, and when we went into the lead at 90+2 I thought "Huh, I have a 100% win rate for my attendance 😂" Stupid 90+5 Colchester goal.

I'm thinking of getting mum a little air fryer, something simple, with easy controls. We moan a lot about tech these days, but some is still genuinely great. For instance, this one has specific settings for fries, steak, water fleas, chicken, fish, nuclear armageddon and cupcakes.

Exercise 9 (turning) done and dusted. Obviously have turned *before* but this formalised the procedures and made sure I was aware of elements like balancing with the rudder, maintaining vertical speed etc. Next is slow flying and stalls... 😬

#TBT to this from 2012 in honour of Michael Gove starring as an invasion-battling leader in Sky's new show The Wargame. If you don't know what or who this comic is about... just count yourself lucky and scroll on, no worries.
[Opening scene is WESTMINSTER, LONDON. Over Downing Street a huge ALIEN SPACECRAFT hovers, silent, still, filling the whole sky a la Independence Day]. 

[Cut to INSIDE 10 DOWNING STREET. The (then) prime Minister DAVID CAMERON is looking out of his office window at the ship.]

VOICE FROM OFF-SCENE, BEHIND CAMERON:
Prime Minister…

CAMERON [addressing the person behind him, still keeping his eyes fixed ahead in dread at the spaceship]:
Yes?

[We see the speaker is MICHAEL GOVE, then Education Secretary]:

GOVE:
Let me do it.

CAMERON:
For God's sake, Michael, you're the Education Secretary! You've never flown a fighter plane in your life!

GOVE:
But I know I could do it, David. I could fly a fighter plane into the big space- ship...

...and shoot all the aliens.

CAMERON:
But you have no military training!

GOVE:
David

I haven't told you this, but...

I used to be a journalist. For The Times.

[Cameron reacts, turning to look at Gove with awe and respect, as if only now truly seeing him for the first time]. 

GOVE:
I wrote two articles about planes, David.

I've got strong opinions about aliens.

I know I can do this job.

[Cut to a title card panel]:

AND SO:

[Then cut again to Cameron on the roof of Number 10, watching a Michael Gove pilot a fighter jet up towards the spacecraft, and then completely miss it, careering towards Earth, as Cameron buries his face in his hands].

[Ends]

Well, today's "today I learned" is that one of the characters (played by Harry Shearer) in This Is Spinal Tap wears a Shrewsbury Town football shirt while going through an airport metal detector with a foil-wrapped cucumber stuffed down his trousers.

YouTube just recommended a video to me of a twat in a balaclava riding around on an illegal electric bike goading the police for not being able to chase him. First thing he said to the cop on the camera was 'Alright buddy?' and I'm guessing it wasn't meant to sound *exactly* like Colin Skittles.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: two sharks are sitting in a cafe. A smaller shark holding a teacup says discreetly to the other, “okay, look at this couple behind you - but don’t make it obvious.” Panel 2: the other shark, a Great White shark, turns its gigantic head in the most obvious way possible to look across the room at some sharks chatting at another table.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

I really want to get my hands on an old (1992-ish) Shrewsbury Town shirt, the one with WSJ as the sponsor. It’s the one I always associate with them from when I was a kid, but finding one in my size is apparently impossible.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Oh, God. If the system works, I'm broadly fine with the idea that it could be introduced slowly and closely monitored in less busy parts of the airspace... but in Washington fucking DC? Makes me think we're going to see planes dropping on the White House lawn within two weeks.

I am so fucking impressed with Neagley on Amazon (although I’m watching it on the Seven Seas, thankyoumuchly) Maria Sten is kicking ass, taking names, and acting the *fuck* out of the show so far. I didn’t expect much from it, but it’s honestly as good as Reacher S1, and loads better than S2-4.
