Ah, the smell of a distant barbecue. Which means we're due a thunderstorm within about 30 minutes!

Remember in 2014 when the new U2 album was automatically installed in everyone's iTunes and everyone got really annoyed? Imagine if they'd installed it on every other programme you ever used. And it also somehow meant Bono could interrupt what you were doing and take over That's modern AI, that is

"Ask your smartspeaker?" - sorry, but I'm not stupid enough to use one of those rotten devices.

I'm heading to Nine Inch Nails on Sunday to CHAT TO MY FRIENDS. I'm not there for the music, gigs aren't about the music, please don't be narrow minded & assume everybody is there for music. I've paid €100 to catch up with my friends, with industrial rock blasting in the background, as is my right

Feels like a good day to post this. It would've almost certainly been terrible, given the state of Hanna-Barbera in 1977.

At some point the universe is going to have to start taking some horrible cunts, you know.

Sat in the flat all day today because of workmen. I need some fresh air!

During crises like these, look for the helpers. For instance, until ChatGPT is down, ask me any question and I will make something up.

Musk's Twitter is now running paid advertising calling for the extrajudicial execution of protesters in Los Angeles. In most countries around the world, this is a criminal act.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

I've found my old iPod Touch. I'm surprised how small the thing is. Now, will it still work, and where's the charging cable?

quite funny that the beeb do their bbc verify bollocks but also want to appeal to the 'immigrants get given BMWs' knobheads who'll never believe a word they say anyway

Sending my best to David, though that typeface doesn’t bode well.

When the last desk is cleared in CCHQ, the last councillor voted out, the last direct debit cancelled, the camera will pan to David Cameron. "See, it did stop the party from banging on about Europe".

It’s 2025. Jared Leto is starring in a Tron sequel, Kevin Spacey won an award at Cannes, Ezra Miller, Shia LaBoeuf, and James Franco all walked the Cannes red carpet, Garrison Keillor and Ryan Adams are touring, Louis CK won a Grammy… Tell me again that “cancel culture” exists

Give a man an improperly prepared fugu fish, and he eats for the rest of his life.

Truly bizarre exchange just now in which Kemi Badenoch demands that the BBC tells her whether or not Liz Truss is still in the Conservatives, despite her being in charge of the actual party herself

Are either of them dead yet?
