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...

Watching the most recent Alan Partridge series, I idly wondered if all the news reported in The Day Today canonically occurred in the Partridgeverse, and if the events of Brass Eye are included, and if so did Noel Edmonds' career survive him shooting Clive Anderson, since he's still Alan's nemesis?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Not gonna share that NYT piece about romantic fiction authors using AI, but if I was a reporter talking to someone who's selling courses on to replicate their success, I'd be a tad sceptical of their claims about how many books they sell and how much money they make from it.

The greatest thing about the 2017 Beauty & The Beast is that Stephen Merchant played Monsieur Toilette, had his talking loo shriek at a potential user, let him appear as a brown-streaked human man at the end of the movie, then cut all his scenes for being poor taste. GUYS. YOU CAST HIM AS MR TOILET.

As if a very recently traumatised child with an unsafe immigration status would be allowed to be in a show in front of billions of people, a show that’s been planned for months!
The child to whom Bad Bunny handed a Grammy Award during his Super Bowl halftime performance was an actor, not the 5-year-old boy who was detained as part of a recent immigration operation in Minnesota, two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed on Sunday.
The Child in Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show Was an Actor
There was much speculation about the boy’s identity. The young actor posted on social media about his experience as part of Bad Bunny’s performance.
