One of the projects you can support on Smelt is a new sitcom by me. It's called The Least Bad Of All Possible Worlds and it's about refugees from parallel universes trying to integrate into society in Morecambe. You can pledge to fund it here: if you fund it, we make it! mirlo.space/leadmojo/rel...

"Nameless, Faceless" by Courtney Barnett (2018)
This is superbly well judged, using one of her most carefree, melodic tunes to score a cutting put-down of her internet trolls.

I enjoy the way that in this photo our cats look like a hip-hop duo quite a lot of people quite liked in 1996 who have made a comeback record, done an interview with a broadsheet newspaper and are attempting to prove they are still serious and relevant.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

I am at Bridget Christie's gig in Lancaster. During the first half she was twenty minutes into a bit about menopausal women not being able to remember nouns and acting out a friend not being able to remember the name of the guy who defeated Medusa and a bloke helpfully shouted out "PERSEUS!"

The erosion over the last few years in particular of any interest in showing sports, rather than just seeing it as a way to harvest clippable ‘moments’ for social or iPlayer. Same as the constant changing of the match data UX to make it more engaging for FFL players and sports betting types.

What happens when you appoint a head of sport and his SLT team from various social media platforms rather than people who actually like sport. Say what you like about Babs, but she was an actual athlete who saw the value of actually showing actual sports, not just football clips for social.
BBC missed the first four stones of that last end in the curling because they were faffing around with CHAT instead of covering the actual sport. Standard

Yes, they missed this because they were busy telling us about all the different ways we can access content via the BBC website.
Also first five stones of the first end. SHOW US THE SPORT.

Like “bad” art is so pure actually. In its lack of technical “skill” or expertise or whatever its just a pure expression of the need to create and express its beautiful
It is!! I love so much tacky naff art. I have a collection of tacky teapots precisely because they are these bold things someone made despite all “good taste” and such. Bad art is almost one of the truest purest innocent forms of human expression
