Intelligent Finance (RIP) the online bank and earstwhile comedy awards sponsor, genuinely used to have this as their hold music. It was - as you can imagine - deeply frustrating.

Managed to pause Kraven the Hunter at the exact midpoint. Which is the terrible film equivalent of splitting the G. Try it yourself!

Never seen a more jarring intellectual gap than between the livestream of the Nobel Prize for Physics and the comments on the livestream of the Nobel Prize for Physics. Anyway, well done to Ice Cube for winning it, or something.

Hey, you there! Not only is FITS2 on a big discount for the next couple of weeks, we've also got an exciting update planned very soon, AND all the recent reviews are good, so treat yourself. What else are you going to spend $10.39 on? An Amazon basics wire stripper and crimping tool? Get real!

I find it interesting that every generation gets its own acclaimed "misunderstood robot who just wants to help" movie.
Four images, a still from each of The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951), The iron Giant, The Wild Robot, and a picture of Mark Zuckerberg from his appearance in front of congress. The last one is the joke, but because this is Blue Sky, I strongly suspect that someone will reply "actually Mark Zuckerberg is bad"!

And I suppose this is a coincidence is it?
It's the logo of the award with the name John Luke Roberts crudely superimposed upon it. The logo is sufficiently vague that pretty much any three word name could have been put on there, really.

Yes, I suppose that is what I wanted, Amazon, a clearly AI Generated novel-length review of a film that I just wanted to find out when it was going to be available to buy.
The cover and contents of a book called Mutiny (2026) Movie review by "Kent Heimart".

"An in-depth Analysis of the Action Thriller: Behind the Story, Including Plot Breakdown, Character insights, Themes, Symbolism, Filmmaking, and Ending Explained"

The contents are AI generated nonsense and it does me a disservice to transcribe them, and you a disservice to have them transcribed for you.

It's the scoreboard from a darts game. Hilariously the two players are called "Leek" and "Long"

Saw Coyote vs. Acme today and loved it. You can see exactly why someone with no creativity, joy, or sense of humour would have preferred to write it off for tax reasons!

Quite apart from anything, openly admitting to indirect discrimination in your hiring process might not be the wisest thing to do as a CEO of a company that's just made quite a lot of money. If I was an ambulance chasing lawyer, I might have a little poke around.

Knowing Points of View contributors, they would be more likely to complain about someone not knowing the meaning of "decimation" than potentially wiping out all of humanity.

Someone in the gym this morning used a Christmas air freshener as a deodorant. There is no precedent for this emotionally, I have zero idea how to process this right now.

An absolute all-timer of vibes. Such a great idea, perfectly executed. You should buy it and play it, because if not you're... and I'm going to say it... a doofus.

Even as quite a Bayboy (which may or may not be the fandom term, I haven't checked), The Island is the peak of his incomprehensible editing style - even Transformers is more readable and that's saying something!

The three main types of GamesCom goer are posting their reflections: People who did B2C: "I have no stuff and everything hurts" People who did B2B: "I took this photo with two men that I see every 6 weeks" Terminally LinkedIn people who weren't actually there: "You can't stop the rise of AI"

It's the German TV character Bernt Der Bros floating about. I can't explain it.

New numbers twice a week, it's a liberty! They should have chosen a nice spread (6, 11, 23, 24, 31, 44, and the bonus ball 12) in 1994 and stuck with it.

It's always going to work against you if - in the run up to a big Test Match - your only opponents have been second tier teams like England.
