Yeah, we might rethink the Fallout suit as I'm not sure it's as recognisable as we first thought. (I say as someone hwo has never played or watched Fallout.)

🍄‍🟫 The last remaining treaty limiting the number of nuclear weapons the US and Russia can have pointed at one another expires next week. It will be the first time since the '70s there is no legal limit on the US and Russia's nuclear arsenals. I've made a whole video about it. Out on Nebula now.

I keep getting served TikToks by the behind-the-scenes account of the Daily Mail Group New Media unit. It does appear you can still have a cool Buzzfeed-esque media job if you're willing to work at the racism factory.

I love that AI companies consistently try the "my biggest flaw is that I work too hard" line of promoting their tools.

It’s times like this that it’s great that Alistair Campbell hosts the biggest political podcast in the UK. Because, if anyone’s gonna have an insight into shakily-justified invasions…

The only ones who can save it are *some* of our broadest base stand-up comedians. Jimmy Carr would smash panto. Unfortunately, we've convinced comedians they should instead be talking to contrarian podcast hosts about tax brackets.

(That Shane Ritchie is still doing Panto is evidence enough of that.)

Tom Nicholas | Watch BOOMERS on Nebula now! @tomnicholas.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

I was watching Shane Ritchie do a slightly tired turn in Dick Whittington last week and wondering what happens to panto when the Shane Ritchies of this world retire. Our post-mass culture world doesn't really produce Shane Ritchies anymore. Both skills-wise or cross-generational fame-wise.

Tom Nicholas | Watch BOOMERS on Nebula now! @tomnicholas.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

It's a powerful example of the misaligned incentives of contemporary society that Jimmy Carr is currently talking politics and philosophy on podcasts rather than spending a month at a Corn Exchange somewhere doing Panto.

Given the slow-and-steady manner in which British liberalism has been defeated and its achievements undone, perhaps "The Hannibal Society" might be more apt?* *Someone with better Roman history knowledge can possibly tell me whether this is a good bit or not...

Frankly embarrassing to believe that the solution to the Labour Party’s polling woes is… …to carry on with exactly the same strategy which is obviously going down like a lead balloon.

My wife turned on Call The Midwife and the nuns were facing-off with the Triads in Hong Kong. Which was unexpected.

I'm always really open to thoughts and feedback about what we do/don't cover. We've been working on arranging an interview about the Supreme Court ruling and impacts thereof, which I'm hoping we'll make happen in the New Year. Apologies that's not happened sooner.

Excuses aside though, I really regret that a proper treatment of how the promotion of TRT to cis men sits alongside increased restrictions on hormone therapies for trans people was the thing which didn't make it.

Tom Nicholas | Watch BOOMERS on Nebula now! @tomnicholas.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Just to chip in, I completely take that criticism on the TRT video. It ended up being a huge, unwieldy project with a lot to pack in even at 1hr+, and which was really up against a deadline.

One thing I didn't manage to squeeze into my recent video about Christian Nationalism is that Reform UK advisor James Orr has (naturally) launched a podcast. And no-one is listening to it. Regularly struggling to break 1,000 views.

Chrome has a market share of something like 60-70%. Niche browsers continue to be pretty niche. *But*, a lot of the uptick in niche browser use which has happened over the last year or so is due to this EU legislation.

I enjoy how this infographic from the European Commission's Digital Markets Act minisite takes the victory lap of trampling over Google's brand guidelines. "Youtube" with no capital "T", but a capital on "Google Search". "Google Ads" just called "Google". "Google Android".

The history of energy privatisation is fantastic. Decades of the government and regulators trying to enthuse people about being able to switch energy suppliers, and the nation responding with a firm "no, thank you".

Going on Twitter these days is really funny because it's just endless apologia for the worst aspects of society. "America might have terrible healthcare, but consider the upside: it's also home to extraordinary levels of inequality"

I couldn't escape adverts for testosterone replacement therapy. So I did what any sane person would do. I took four blood tests and interviewed a doctor, a scientist, and a senior investigator for the Advertising Standards Authority. All in my latest video...

This year's attempt by Adobe to bump my Creative Cloud price by more than 10% year-on-year comes with the added fun of them subtly taking "All Apps" out of the tier name. But, hey, I can't wait for that nebulous "new value".

The terrifying thing here is that any Labour MPs think Wes Streeting is going to be any more popular than Starmer. When the Tories change leadership, they're very good at presenting it as if the party has changed beyond all recognition. I can't see Wes Streeting pulling that off.
