I miss 1993
"A ROBOT MAY NOT HARM HUMANITY, OR, BY INACTION, ALLOW HUMANITY TO COME TO HARM!" I scream at my Roomba as I trip over it for the 50th goddam time
But seriously. We are back! Next week we start shooting #bbcghosts the movie! Huge excitement in the camp, lots of splendid people joining us.
Headline: Scalextric sold for £20m
Must be an absolutely massive layout. Only got thirty quid for ours.
Latest read complete, a good speculation about what life on the moon could be like in the early days...
I once heard a cutting assessment of someone’s intellect in Argentinian Spanish that went jugas al tetris y giras el cuadradito. It means “you spin the square tile on Tetris.”
Someone has put portacabins in front of the weird building in #bristol
Big finish for the old skool season of #drwho on #bbcthrre this evening.
With River Song ( #AlexKingston ) pretending to be #cleopatra in the first part of the Pandorica two episode season finale.
This #InternationalMensDay let's break the silence around men's mental health & wellbeing. Too many struggle alone - huge stigma remains about asking for help. It's a sign of strength to ask for support. Let's check on the men in our lives & ensure everyone feels safe to share when they're not ok.
For some reason this building in #bristol gives me weird vibes.
Like the building in #ghostbusters
Exciting news #drwho
The War Between the Land and the Sea is set to launch with a double bill on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on 7 December share.google/kfS7bsSX9Lhf...
Tis the season...
I too have had this exact thought!
But every time it crosses my mind there must be enough new #Bond since the last Austin Powers movie to lampoon, I remember how #Spectre literally used the plot from #Goldmember and then I understand why Myers hasn't gone back yet...
As someone who has been tracking the development of #robot tech for 15+ years, I think it is a great idea for robots to be involved in social care.
Just feels like the story saying it is coming rolls round every year or two with no real sign it might actually happen:

My daughter carved this pattern in our pumpkin this year.
The brief given was to make a design that would scare me.
She is 13

Also can't help wondering if they might have sold out already if they had a #neo model based on the machine in #Subservience
Pretty sure they are going to sell out of #neo real quick.
Have seen too much media about ai and robots going wrong to not want to wait for a later generation when any potential bugs have been ironed out.
Am also very much thinking of #asimov and his #robots series of stories.
Yeah, this:
Hmmmm....
Seen too many movies to not raise an eyebrow and wonder what this means for the future of humanity...

Latest read is this early #GeorgeRRMartin novel.
Had some really good sections and worked overall as a narrative.
Disney is out!
Where I worked there were 7 reporters producing two papers at the time from a local office.
That building got sold off and the papers are produced by reporters miles away now. Not sure how many work on those titles anymore, but I suspect not many. And they probably write for multiple papers
When I started in regional newspapers at the turn of the century, they still seemed like a money making machine and a job for life.
Now I mostly interact with my local rag by seeing its content on FB (which I don't use much either tbh).
Monday is off to a pretty start in #northsomerset
It is October 3.

While history doesn't always repeat itself, it does often rhyme.
They are showing two episodes a week, so also just re-watched Sophie Okonedo as Liz 10 in the second episode of the season.
Sophie gives a great performance and I think a further reappearance of the character is long overdue.
#bbcthree is repeating 'classic' #doctorwho from the Matt Smith / Karen Gillian era on Saturday nights (started this evening).
The Eleventh Hour really holds up as an amazing introduction to Matt's Doctor.
Following David Tennant was always going to be a big ask - and Matt smashed it!
Beautiful morning here in #northsomerset
