I sleep talk: My wife recorded what I said in my dream this morning: 'Christopher Columbus. In a basement. Too many pigs. No, they are actually swine. Feral swine. Many feral swine.'

I very much like the phrase 'stench laden disease pod' and will be using it in conversation a lot from now on.

For no better reason than it's Friday, we're going to review wrestlers on how useful they'd be working in the archive. First up: Triple H. He'd probably be great to have in the office, but that water spit thing is just going to raise our humidity levels so it's a no from us.

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

While you might disagree with them, to say the demands of the left are not about material concerns is a straight up lie. Poor people should have more money and better services - material. We should oppose the far right in parliament and on the streets - material. Etc etc

Let us count the ways Burnham is obviously wrong.... Ok I only have 2. 1. Academic vs practical is a false dichotomy. 2. The 'did not enjoy school' group and the 'prefer practical subjects' group are not necessarily the same. Plus the thing Sam Freedman says.

2yrs after I finished my MA History at Goldsmiths, my research rights were bought and I was hired to work as historical consultant on this TV show. It's had BAFTA and International Emmy nominations. I got a book deal, too. Goldsmiths: "No point in MA History, let's fire everyone and delete it."

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

I assume this is not an unpopular opinion really, but that first film is middling good. 3 stars out of 5. And still the best by far.

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

People on the BBC are once again taking AI claims at face value. Why? Because BBC stands for CREDULOUS FUCKING MORONS. I know none of the letters are correct for that. But it is still true.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

BBC Radio 4: we should talk about this Ed Sheeran story. Who should we get on the programme? I know, what about a frothing mad person we can have an argument with? Someone who has the most extreme ludicrous cartoonish view. That'll be a good use of our time.

Watching Silo. It is fun. One thing I like about it is that, while it tries to be gritty and dark, it is so obviously a load of theatre kids having fun. It's got a real drama-club-devising-an-ensemble-piece vibe.
