I see there's a big brouhaha about James Bond continuity again. Thought that all got sorted out back in 1969.

No part of me thought that it was too late, tbh. It’s not a hand-stitched sofa.

Anyone who creates a 'totally free online tool' that isn't actually free, but doesn't tell you that until the very end of the process, deserves to find half a rat in everything they eat for the rest of time.

"You've either got patience or Prime."
So my choices are the ability to deal with the pressures and demands of the world with proportionate calmness, or the potential to further the death-march of rampant, aimless consumerism?
How soon can you deliver me that patience?

Sky Sports adverts really desperate to get me to watch Matt Smith in The Randy Salesman Who Loved His Son, or whatever it’s called.

The key rule in sport is to always play to the whistle. Except on gridiron fumbles. That ball is live while the pile exists.

One of the most irritating things about the BBC’s dodgy editorial decisions which fuel their detractors is they’re so needless. They didn’t need a weird edit on Trump to get a sound bite of him supporting Jan 6th. They didn’t need to do a Gaza doc with the son of a Hamas official. Daft own goals.

Nothing shatters your attempts to convince yourself that a TV show still counts as ‘recent’ (Arrested Development in this case) than a character using a laptop. Big ol’ ports!

Not sure that anyone's surprised to find that Allison Pearson is a mad liar
A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

Sky have pivoted to painting Piastri as some sort of unfortunate quasi-victim in the incident where he went flying too hard into the corner, locked up and broadsided two cars. “He had to go for it!” Yeah, but not like that.

I am a full sicko, but I don’t really need the F1 coverage to show me footage of the driver’s family when they’ve plonked the car in the wall. Unless it’s something like Jos Verstappen kicking a bin to bits. I don’t need to see sad mums.

Aside from anything else, it is weird how she always talks like a cult member in a schlocky movie. Not even a well-written caricature. Hope the Lions dunk 60pts on them today.
Washington Commanders ownership anticipates conversations with President Trump about the team’s new stadium when he attends Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium.
Yet, no formal request has been made about naming the new development after him, according to a team source.
