I’ve not actively hated Rishi Sunak in a while, so the news he’s taken a job with Anthropic AI (aka the company I’m part of a mass lawsuit against for stealing our work to train their LLM) is actually kind of comforting.

Never would have guessed that the murderous driver on the Carmageddon cover comes from this old Clive Barker comic. I think it's also my first comic book reference that isn't a Marvel one. @hg101.bsky.social told me about this one. samderboo.com/tracing.php?... #TracingTheInfluence

“To me, the fun in Monopoly isn’t really in playing it.”

Ha, no shit buddy

Experience: I own the world’s largest Monopoly collection

Every set is exciting. I’ve currently got 4,379 different ones. The dream is to hit 4,500, maybe even 5,000

Rest in Peace and thank you John Lodge. I held steadfast to my belief in the Moodies as a great band for decades in the face of ridicule. It even cost me a nomination for the Penderyn school prefect prize in 2015. Oh yes it did. If you remember you remember. xx

Park & Ride is a good thing until you buy a bulky item that they won't let/you can't get on the bus.

It would have been great if they'd organised a public ceremony where he handed them a big bag of cash, and then they'd set fire to it.

Comedians like Aziz Ansari and Jessica Kirson need to look elsewhere for organizations to donate their Riyadh Comedy Festival money. Human Rights Watch said they ‘cannot accept’ donations from them.

Brand new on Dirty Feed: what was special about the Fawlty Towers episode "Basil the Rat"?

Short version: it had two days in the studio, while every other episode only had one.

Long version: www.dirtyfeed.org/2025/10/tc8-...

Fawlty Towers, "Basil the Rat": the Major spots the offending creature in the bar.

A shame Logitech discontinued this product as that extra top mouse button on the right that sits under my right ring finger comes in handy. I'm surprised no other Logitech mouse has implemented it.

MerseyMaloween @merseymal.com · 1d

Looks slightly different to my old Logitech G600, but it has all the buttons!
