The idea that Brave New World and Gattaca overlap annoys me to an unreasonable degree.

Lib Dems playing 4D chess, unbeknownst to everyone, including the Lib Dems.

How will it work? Well basically it will go “Pew! Pew! Pew!” But you’ll have to ask the shadow defence secretary for the exact noise it will make.

Watson was an unbearable man with horrible views. But his early work on the structure of DNA has a strong “when the worst person you know makes a great point” energy to it.

For me McLeish was the worst appointment, but Garde was the high (or low!) point of wondering what an earth was going on

There are days I still stop, shake my head and mutter “Rémi Garde” under my breath.

This WW2 explosion video, twinned with those fireworks that have a deafening fffwwwwweeeeeek! Followed by a disappointing red pop.

Or just looking for excuses. Can’t have been easy to be part of that team while it was in demise. It was hard enough watching!

Did you see Gabby on talk sport pointing out Villa consistently had their best players (Barry, Milner, Delph) pinched by city. Not sure I agree with him that we can hold them completely responsible for the doldrums we found ourselves in post O'Neill!

It’s on a knife edge… The knife

There’s the obvious biological essentialism as a basis for a pseudoscientific idea of race, but also what if the union splits? What would a non English Braverman do then?

I think the play should have been to murder Ross Kemp and pin the blame on Bella.

Whenever I pass a bin labelled “general waste” I want to say “major waste has got a promotion”

Yes officer...4:30….On a Friday. They just “popped it in.”

My name is Mr Real Sponsor - yes that’ll do - and I’ll like to give Manchester City 900 million pounds!

I don’t need certainty in order to function….or even a brain now you come to mention it.

We’ve accidentally been sponsored by the Abu Dhabi government.

She also seems not to understand what “black swan” means.

It’s all right, they can solve that problem by just continually raising the retirement age!

The problem AI is solving is, near as I can tell, tech bros envy at others people’s ability to create and engage meaningfully with art.

Parents will recognise this as stages hope goes through as you try and get children out the door to school on time.

The whole “AI will destroy the world” is, IMO, a neat distraction from the more real threat, namely; AI is watching you.

We need to have a serious talk Ok sure…would you then mind taking the giant cheese earrings off?

It’s is odd. Like if you had scientists who spent their days creating deadly flesh eating super bacteria and they were just sitting around saying “this rogue flesh eating super bacteria. It’s eaten flesh again! If only there was something we could do!”

Reminds me a bit of Samwise in LOTR: the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was a light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some fucks have greatness thrust upon them.

Policies that have quite literally lead to cleaner lungs for children. He’s like a character from a Dickensian novel leaving London because of new laws against using little children as chimney sweeps.

They all feel like the answer to the question, what if Dunning–Kruger and survivorship bias had children?

I’d forgotten about Stephen Ireland. For that they should have to play rugby union for a season.

I’m hopeful the right will enter purity spiral, becoming more and more fragmented. 🤞

‘Anti-migrant protester’ Danny Tommo. I thought he preferred ‘mother’s interior design spokesperson’

Puts my mind at ease. I mean, if you can’t trust Nick Clegg!

We look back on the 2009 hit “Brew ha ha” and ask why Gen Z are finding it so problematic.

Campaign for a simple rule that anyone who has advertised betting companies gets no public platform to share their views on politics.
