I'd vote for the future where there's the option of a box that pops up when lazy nonsense appears and says "this looks like AI slop. Would you like me to find a piece written by a thoughtful human on this topic - something that's valued by other humans and is actually worth reading?"

A photo of the front cover of issue 1683 of Private Eye magazine with the caption “ON SHELVES NOW!” Heading reads “THAT REFORM OYSTER BAR STING IN FULL” and features an image of Nigel Farage eating an oyster, with speechbubbles reading: “How many would you like?”, “500,000 please!”, “Shellfish?”, “You bet I am!”, “It is not a good year for Nigel”, “Don’t swallow anything he says!”, “Watch out, he could be dodgy!” and “He’s too slimy for me!” The bottom caption reads “PUBLIC ‘NOT LISTENING’ TO FARAGE EXCUSES SHOCK!”

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

If you don't get the A-level grades you wanted, just remember that Richard Tice got an E in his Politics and maths A-Levels and still went on to be an entitled prick who thinks he should be Chancellor.

New old sayings about the weather The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1681 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The front cover reads “NEW OLD SAYINGS ABOUT THE WEATHER” and features a photograph of a firefighter tackling a large wildfire. A speech bubble reads: “Red sky at night, Europe’s alight! Red sky in the morning, I wonder if it could possibly be global warming?” A banner at the bottom reads: “30! 40! 50! PHEW! WHAT A SCORCHED-EARTH!”

For the record, it is now 27 years since my wife and I took part in an episode of the Channel 4 documentary series "Women's Bits". The episode was about endometriosis, and was a long tale of misdiagnosis, ignorance, medical misogyny, and long waits for diagnosis. 1/2

It’s International Haiku Day apparently and so for today’s poetry offering, here are a few assorted haiku.

Assorted Haiku

Haiku #2511

Tourists wait in line
to enter Machu Picchu.
Oh, look! A high queue.

Haiku #564127

how dare you suggest
I have a short attention
spanish omelette

Limeraiku

There once was a young
limerick from Kew who turned
into a haiku.

The Constraints of Haiku

Tied up all night with
a haiku dominatrix
and her three-line whip.

Shakespearean Haiku

Shall I compare thee
To a summer’s day? Alright –
Thou art pretty hot.

How to Write a Haiku

The last line should flow
seamlessly from the first two –

Trump Attacks Iran. How Operation Epic Fury unfolded… The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1670 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “TRUMP ATTACKS IRAN,” with a subheading “HOW OPERATION EPIC FURY UNFOLDED.” The cover features four photo panels set in the situation-room with US political figures seated around a table. Speech bubbles add dialogue: “Is the Supreme Leader dead?” followed by “No, Trump always looks like this!”; “Mission accomplished!” answered with “Yes, I’ve killed the Epstein story”; “What happens next?” with the reply “Popular revolt and regime change,” and a follow-up, “In America?”; and finally, “Why have you started this war?” answered with “So that I can stop it,” alongside “I’ll ring the Nobel Committee.”

Here’s a poem called ‘An Attempt to Write an Abecedarian Poem in Praise of the Dictionary’.

An Attempt to Write an Abecedarian Poem
in Praise of the Dictionary

An unfaltering ability to
Bring clarity to the English language
Constitutes your
Defining quality.
Ever since the day we
First met and I
Giggled at the rude words
Hidden amongst your pages,
I adored you,
Jubilant in the
Knowledge that things were
Looking up. You offered me the
Meaning of life,
Not to mention the meaning of all those
Other words, too.
Perfect at settling Scrabble board
Quarrels, your judgement
Reigns supreme. I
Sift you daily, panning for words in
The hope of penning the
Ultimate – the greatest poem this
Vast world has ever seen, but
Whoa, here comes the
X, and oh, alphabet, how could you, I knew
You’d get the better of me
Zooner or later.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.
