Cars in stuff set in 1970s Britain when they are all immaculate from some classic car collection when in reality a big percentage of them would have filthy, barely road worthy, rust boxes. bsky.app/profile/dear...

wild to read interviews with the children of famous people where they're angrily like "I wasn't rich! I worked hard for what I had! people talk about nepo babies but they don't even know!" and then two paragraphs later they're talking about the dinners they had with Cary Grant and shit. BE SERIOUS.

Wasn’t able to secure any review code for HELLRAISER unfortunately. But I found this amazing FB clip of Doug Bradley doing a Scouse Pinhead and now I’m crying from laughter. He’s amazing. (Source: YMH Podcast.)

It's great when you read some absolutely mind expanding bit of weirdo lit and having a mild internal freak-out about it... and then it's 'well I guess I'll just have to do my boring ass life stuff now'

Rewatching Conclave for the third time. Utterly ridiculous film, with no plot logic, just events, held together by a handful of great performances. But somehow those performances and the way it's shot connive to make you feel like you're watching a great drama about important themes.

A while back I was without the internet for a bit so I spent time down the local library to use their computers and it was so depressing the number of middle-aged middle-class women who came in asking for the new Jeffrey Archer

I read one of Archer's novels way back in the day... it was crap. Started reading the first chapter of his prison diary only a few months ago for reasons I can't remember and he slags off a female guard for being fat and working class so I hope he had a really miserable time.

Looking at the list of candidates for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election (as you do) and there's someone for 'Climate' which is apparently 'a conservative green party'. Not sure how that's supposed to work.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
