BuzzFeed Nearing Bankruptcy After Disastrous Turn Toward AI Three years after its pivot to AI, the writing is on the wall for BuzzFeed. The company said there's "substantial doubt" it can keep going.

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop.

I've just received a 1500 word press release about the new film of Seance on a Wet Afternoon (which I'm greatly looking forward to) which doesn't mention Mark McShane.

Oh. Did not know this was a thing. I'd choose Toby Jones & Olivia Coleman.

I've used Travelodge in the past as a simple, cost-effective way to stay somewhere overnight, but I won't be using them ever again - their security policies and duty of care (or lack of) are ridiculous

If you need a timeline cleanse you should know that Dexter Sol Ansell who plays Egg on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms went to school as Egg for World Book Day.

I very much hope those in government will read this and understand the risk they're taking with one of the UK's most consistently successful sectors - a risk profoundly bound up in an enormous speculative bubble and tech that has horrific externalities and is terrible at nearly everything.

Oliver Reed at maximum in this Hammer thriller 😎

It must be really hard working in a professional kitchen what with all the spies and secret agents in hot pursuit of bad guys constantly running through smashing up all your shit.

BAFTAs host Alan Cumming criticises BBC after ‘triggering show’ BAFTAs host Alan Cumming has criticised the BBC and labelled the show as a ‘trauma-triggering s*** show’ following a racial slur controversy.

Glad to see Alan Cumming making a statement on the BBC failure:

“I’m so sorry for all the pain Black people have felt hearing that word echoed round the world. I’m so sorry the Tourettes community has been reminded of the lack of understanding and tolerance that abounds regarding their condition."

Amerikansk bojkott – lägsta ölförsäljningen på 20 år - Beernews Under 2025 backade den amerikanska ölförsäljningen på Systembolaget med ytterligare 13 procent, samtidigt som sortimentet minskade med över 100 öl. Särskilt tydlig är trenden sista halvåret – som norm...

Swedes are boycotting American beers. The state monopoly off licence Systembolaget reports a drop in sales of American beer of 13% and they've cut 100+ beers from their offering. Lowest sales since the George W Bush / Iraq war era.

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

This sounds awesome.

Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...
