It's worth turning the sound off and watching Joanna Stern's interview with two Apple execs as they try to dance around "where's the AI you promised last year" to realise just who squirms the most; but 3m54s, as the [IF scenario THEN smile] kicks in, sums it up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTLk...

This is a super long video, but i'm really proud to have worked on it. It's @worksinprogress.bsky.social's new podcast Hard Drugs - and this episode is all about a potential breakthrough in HIV prevention - the new drug Lenacapavir. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVhi...

And people wonder why some of us are a bit suspicious of the UK government floating the idea of new ID cards. It's because shit like this can all too easily happen when governments choose not to understand/abide by the legal restrictions on data gathering and storage.

Your reminder that Tim Davie is literally a Tory - he failed to get elected as a Tory in the 1993 and 1994 Hammersmith and Fulham London Borough Council elections. This is not 'the BBC'. This is the Tories who've been placed inside the BBC by, you guessed it, the Tories.

Uh oh, hosting Sanremo later than usual comes with the risk that it runs over and into Eurovision itself.

Showrunner Noah Hawley has stated that the style and mythology of this prequel series will be closer to that of the original Alien film than those of Prometheus or Alien: Covenant.

Having a think right now which books this might for me. 'Starship Troopers' is likely one, Joe Haldeman's "The Long Habit of Living" is another.

I'm guesting on the latest Keep Watching Pod to go over TVs Taskmaster and complete our own tasks...(I am now going to write out 100 times "do not turn into Richard Herring").

Thought for the day... it's not much of an autodestruct sequence if all you damage is the front half of the saucer. All the important gubbis, engines, stores, etc are still intact. #StarTrek3

One to think about, the "popular vote" at Eurovision puts Poland's Justyna and Albania's Shkodra Elektronike onto the podium; yet the "constituency" vote of 37 countries (plus one for The Rest Of World) left them in fifth and seventh. One of many points in @escinsight.com estimated televote model.

I think the baffling decisions made with Doctor Who become a lot more tolerable the more 100+ chapter fanfics that clearly don't have a planned progression and suffer from writing burn out by chapter 40 you've read.

Another week, another Keep Watching Pod as we look back at episode four of the current series. Plus we're doing our own prize tasks - which is a lovely distraction from the world right now..
