I know Andy Burnham likes his music, but basing Conference on an Atomic Kitten song still seems strange to me.

I think I've reached the stage where so many classic albums have hit the "40 years ago" threshold that my reaction here is "only 35?".

It's close run between bottlenose dolphins (gang coercive sex, infanticide, kidnapping) and Sea Otters (drowning females and using their carcasses for sex; sex so violent that the females die, followed by using their carcasses for sex; also with Harbour seals).

An astonishing AI hallucination on the BBC regarding the BCP tram proposal. The entire geography has been rearranged. Compare the left, AI, with the right, from Google Maps. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
An AI image of Bournemouth. Boscombe pier is west of the Vitality Stadium, and impossibly near Bournemouth pier. Kings Park is above the Vitality. Charminster is above Kings Park instead of much further west. Castlepoint shopping centre is on the A31. The airport is east of the A338, which seems to join the A31 at Castlepoint.A satellite map of the area, showing where everything ought to be.

Kudos to the family member at the 9/11 memorial event calling out the complicity off Saudi Arabia. Shame on BBC News for muting her.

My first cartoon for adults for a while, on the Dover business
A one panel cartoon showing three male-looking figures in all black wearing balaclavas, so you can only see their eyes. Below it says: 'Spontaneous' protest. The figure on the right is saying: 'OMG, SO EMBARRASSING, WE ALL WORE THE SAME OUTFIT!
