If you want to see dark PR in action, check out the cheer amount of glazing Tom Cruise is getting on Reddit. That murderous cult - Hollywood obvs - is spending serious money on reputation washing

How do I get more betterer at music youtu.be/KNbxrAKNb84?...

Just finished Promise Mascot Agency. It's an absolute joy from beginning to end. The perfect blend of crime, whimsy and surrealism. Get it get it get it get it

You can now be castigated for not looking sufficiently feminine. Fruck JK Howling and her vile hordes.

There is nothing more pathetic than a Harry Potter adult

Big few days for seeing who's gleefully bigoted whenever they can get away with it

I think they might have

"This new AI model can just barely rip off even more artists' styles than before if you squint at it, in addition to having a horrendous energy cost. Here, let me generate a million pieces of slop for you to demonstrate my point"

This is the way to do it. Not "save the planet" but "save the status quo of capitalism". That'll light a fire under the right people

Preserving our Digital Heritage – With Chris Sutcliffe We think we have access to everything, but is that true? From movies to games, digital content is being lost from the public record. This includes the winding down of certain hardware formats such as Blu-ray, meaning certain things can no…

Oh big yawn

We've long since run out of mostly-competent serial killers to make podcasts about so it's only fair that some of the all-time-greats who were never detected gave themselves up for content's sake

Have you applied for the New Directions Bursary yet? It's for freelance writers looking to make a change in their writing career - new format, new project, new style, new ideas. freelancewritingjobs.substack.com/p/the-freela...

This is the single best encapsulation of confirmation bias I've ever read, and someone just popped it out on a reddit thread

You sort of asked and we kind of answered! We're bringing back the roundup podcasts - and we're doing it in video for the first time ever: youtu.be/sQABtP7aPh8?...

There's a petition, if you want to help stop what's left of life being sucked out of London. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

You don't know true terror until you walk down a dark street and bump into half a smashed terracotta dog

This is a dope idea.

RIP David Lynch, who first blew my tiny mind with Blue Velvet

Once upon a time a human would have written something like 'uncoked cardes of corn, corn, abenen of part in ite, broken bown into grose and absosed' and I would have laughed at it for weeks. AI slop ruining everything about the internet

Can the wanks at the Spectator take a fucking day off

The ONE year I'm too ill to attend the family Christmas 🥲

Ran into a shop for tissues with my nose just pouring blood, and will probably never forget the visceral horror on the face of the guy behind the till

"As newspaper owners and television executives seek to fence off their privileges, we’ll be left with husks of organizations that not long ago enjoyed audiences’ loyalty," @jswahutu-nyu.bsky.social predicts.

Only played a few hours of Fascist Battering Simulator but it's extremely satisfying! The sequence breaking into the Vatican feels very Indy in the best way 💪

Miyazaki dropping all the old bosses from previous Fromsoft titles completely unchanged into #EldenRingNightreign with the attitude of P. G. Wodehouse

There are more difficult tasks but trying to explain pub opening hours to a hungry puppy is very difficult

A statement from The Onion about InfoWars.

Working next to a croissant today. Very distracting

Oh this is absolutely magic "The suspect was also one of thousands who played an assassin training death simulator called 'Fruit Ninja' 😲😲😲"

This article from @msf.ca's latest edition of Dispatches is absolutely harrowing

A fun thing about almost exclusively subscribing to satire and shitposting subreddits is that sometimes I'll try for a very long time to understand a meme before realising it's actually just an ad for Adidas trainers or something

Beginning to worry that these posh boys in bowties in the pub are not pre-drinking before an awards show and instead just genuinely dress like this

Honestly the past year of being fully self-employed has been the best for my mental health, bank account, and side projects. I'm so fucking lucky I know, but I never want to go back

A clever thing I do is to buy something and then check my bank account to see if I can afford it, so there's no way for me to make an informed decision

Imagine a packet full of little silica gel sachets and then one piece of jerky

Last call for our Media Voices Pod in a Pub livestravaganza tomorrow! If you're around in London and fancy getting a pint and taking part in a live recording of an episode Media Voices, there are one or two tickets still available here: voices.media/podinapub/

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.

Had completely missed that YouTube now automatically adds a 'people mentioned' in video descriptions. Finding it weirdly creepy tbh

This is 💯 true. The costs and faltering of distribution will kill print long before the hard core of print readers are ready for it

Already sick of this revisionist "$44bn's a small price to pay to get Trump into the white house" shite 1. No it's fucking not 2. Musk tried to get out of buying it, it wasn't some elaborate long game 3. At the absolute peak of its relevance Twitter didn't move the needle on voting intent one bit
