You're not the only one who dislikes it. Elizabeth Sladen's daughter has issues. I don't want to link to the video but her comment is perfect

This "debate" involves RTD having to keep a knife beside his door in case the crazies that Linehan has set upon him (for supporting trans rights and therefore being being a pedophile groomer) come to his house again. Pardon me for not respecting the genuineness of these "concerns"

It's narcissistic collapse live! But honestly I feel so sorry for the poor dudes who have to unscrew the letters. Would you want thousands of maga crazies watching you do that?

This is actually fascinating. They're doing as little as possible to not remove the Trump from the Kennedy center before the deadline. 31 minutes to go. It's live comedy. www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

Indefensible because that introduction alienates every new viewer and every old viewer simultaneously. Quite an achievement in the first 30 seconds. I watched it with my then girlfriend in Australia in 1997 and within one minute my heart had already sank. Doctor Who was done.

"It was on the planet Skaro that my old enemy the Master was finally put on trial. They say he listened calmly as his list of evil crimes was read, and sentence passed. Then he made his last, and I thought, somewhat curious request." I'd quote the rest, but bluesky limits. Indefensible.

They have to. In fact they already are doing for Enterprise. And once the enterprise Finance departments get the real cost of AI, it'll all get controlled, limited then disabled.

Mine was "Super Sonic Sooty Spug" which was a bit of a departure from the show by having Sooty actually sing out loud.

In a country awash with guns. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. What's more unbeliveable is how many schools get shot up. But that's sadly true also.

Star Cops would be well within your remit? I've never seen it either. But if I was to suggest something more down to earth, I'd go with How Do You Want Me, because I would really like a campaign to get it re-mastered and re-released in HD (assuming it was shot on film)

Just like how Iran will open the Straits of Homuz because Trump says they will, the next person will do a better job at (allegedly) covering up because Trump says so. We're dealing with someone with a very distorted conception of reality where saying something makes it true.

And they just bought Quantum Fiber, so my choices in Vegas for broadband are now Cox or AT&T. I've spent 17 years avoiding being an AT&T customer and they've still got me.

Wow, ordered with shipping for a grand total of $6.10. I feel like it's as likely to work as a 512 gb sd card from Aliexpress but we'll see.

Unfortunately, they can and do make it up. They make up a story and their base eats it up as the truth. Already, millions of people believe with absolute certainty that Renee Nicole Good was attempting murder. It will be impossible to get through to them (and god knows I try)

I have seen ChatGPT produce libellous statements, unprompted, about a public figure as part of its "thinking process".

Damn, I've gone from never knowing these existed, wanting them for xmas, to finding they're no longer available in less than a minute of googling. Super, smashing, great.

Anthony Scaramucci, of all people, had it right last week: Trump says he's not in the files, orders the release and when there is stuff about him, no matter how bad, he says it's all a hoax. And his base believe him because "no-one would be dumb enough to release files that show you're a pedophile"

Thank you so much for the incredible amount of laughs you've given us all over the last fifteen years. My only wish is that we got another series of The Witchfinder

New from me in the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social: the media seem determined to mainstream the ideas of Eliezer Yudkowsky, but they can't reckon with his bizarre (and very unserious) ideas about death. www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/1...

The guru of the AI apocalypse

Eliezer Yudkowsky is confusing a very human obsession with death and a very modern fear of a techno-deity

Even better I'd like them to not load the question with a premise - that the video is deepfake. We know it's a deepfake. Instead, why not ask "The president shared a video where he talked about how we're all going to be getting Medbeds soon. Can you explain how this will work?"

That may be the best reasoned, decent argument I've read on the subject. When you know trans people who are scared to visit the UK because of the Equality Commision's 'guidance' on bathrooms, it's good to show they don't speak for everyone. If I wasn't an atheist, I'd be happy to be a Quaker.

It wasn't Allan Beswick, who James Whale wholesale ripped off his persona from, with less than 1/10th of the wit or intelligence. It's so sad how little of Beswicks's stuff from the mid 80s is available. There were some recordings on youtube 5 years ago but they got taken down.

Maybe so. But if the screening has too many false positives/negatives, which I think is the conclusion of Cochrane, it may not be easy to fix with training or equipment. That's why Cochrane meta studies, if done right, are far more important than personal stories such as the one above.

Martin Lyons @martinlyons.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

I'm as pro-science as they come (and agree that radiation from mamograms is utterly inconsequential). But when Cochrane authors say that mammography screening "is harmful and should be abandonded" (www.drmyhill.co.uk/drmyhill/ima...), this seems to be relevant. Unless you have better evidence?

I honestly think ChatGPT will soon kill at a higher rate than many Class A drugs. The reason it won't be banned is the same reason that Facebook wasn't banned when it became apparent it was torturing content moderators and giving them industrial scale PTSD. Model collapse can't come soon enough.

Agreed. But thanks for the reminder to get off my butt and use the money that was going to my old wapo subscription to support your patreon too.
