Since Musk has been crowing about his AI, I thought I'd test it out. "Draw John Lennon's head on the body of a gecko." Yep, you can't argue with that.

If these bozos just sacked off the Xmas bonus altogether, they'd have been able to afford a far better player costing £25.2 million instead. I'm sure that's not lost on Jim.

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

The man in the automated message on the Manchester Civil Justice Centre phone number genuinely sounds unhinged. It only gets worse the longer you listen. Just wait for the bit about bailiffs. Who approved this???

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Weird how the people who make their money out of you being permanently mad on social media seem to want to come on here and tell you it’s bad if you don’t want to be permanently mad on social media.

My old boss did a lot of stupid things, like, proper crazy stuff, but the funniest was when he was on the roof of our shop and looked like he was about to leap the 6-foot gap to the roof of the neighbouring building. I shouted, "Jim, don't be stupid, there's no way you'll make that jump!"

Tip for new BlueSky users: the "nuclear" block. Blocking a user here is far more effective than it ever was on Twitter. It rips out all connection to replies, quotes, everything. They are erased from your life. It's beautiful and I recommend using it generously.
