“Dr Litherland suspects this second site will hold the pharaoh's mummified body.” Someone should tell him they already found Thutmose II 200 years ago, and his mummy is in a museum. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What happens when I choose “Show less like this?”. What does “like this” mean? Because so far, all I get is MORE pictures of damn 🐈🐈‍⬛ and incomprehensible comments about US p*liticians and sp*rtsmen who I’ve never heard of.

My Discover feed on here is a perfect illustration of the adage “two nations divided by a common language”. It looks like English but I have no idea what most of the words mean.

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

Post an ad for your first car. Mini 1000, cowpat green. Elastic sides - regularly squeezed 6 adults + picnic gear into it. Drove colleagues home in groups of 4 when their Ford Escorts couldn’t get up the hill in snow. No reverse gear for nearly a year, had to park facing uphill.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Depressing that two brilliant, beloved, and impactful TV dramas showcasing British history (Wolf Hall and Mr Bates Versus The Post Office) were only made because the cast and crew volunteered to take big pay cuts If a big streamer isn’t interested, UK dramas are becoming unaffordable

Things to Remember Tonight: 1. Keep pets inside and play classical music to hide the noise of bagpipes. 2. Keep your haggis in a tin and only take it out when you plan to read a poem to it. 3. Never go back to a lighted haggis. 4. Burns should be run under cold water immediately.

The BBC is planning to eradicate audio drama from BBC Radio 3, which will be devastating for writers, other creative workers and audiences. Here’s the Writer’s Guild’s petition (there’s no direct share link to BlueSky from change.org so I’ve copied it) change.org/SADatTheBBC

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
