Web + radio nonsense. Chief Creative Officer at Aiir. But don't expect any meaningful insight. Fan of a glitter nail. He, sometimes.

Excellent week for me in getting printed-versions-of-internet-things - the @puzzmo.com notebook with puzzles on each page, and the @vole.wtf DOCTYPE magazine with entire web apps to type in to use. Wonderful nonsense.

the dumbest timeline continues to get dumber
I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.

This such a perfect patriotic 🇬🇧 Fleet Street cock-up. It's one thing for a news outlet to be duped by a competent hoaxer. Excruciating, yes, but there's a fairly long history of such fuck ups. But to put out a statement SAYING you'd been hoaxed but you'd actually just emailed the wrong guy?

When he says “hit it, Joe”, I don’t think first time viewers are going to be prepared for just how hard Joe hits it.
makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Oobah Butler's got a new documentary on Channel 4, and within the first 10 minutes he's inspired by Steven Bartlett to hustle and so starts a child sweatshop, lovely work no notes

This is a story about cliches. But it's also, a story about more than just cliches. It's about introductions to multi-part. narrative documentaries. It's about how we all understand things start. And it's also about what it means to be human, probably.

In fairness, "Have I Got News For You" can actually be read as a question, and it just turns out the answer is "no, no I don't have news for you"

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

Incredible NFL coverage on Channel 5. They heard your feedback about not liking the weird game show things so decided fuck it what if it was worse and we couldn't keep the live feed from the States stable at all

I went outside for a lovely walk this afternoon and I come back on line to read a) Virtual Boy Is Back and b) Notices Bulge was on a casing and I'll be honest parsing reality is a bit of a struggle

V&A East Storehouse is a pretty cool spin on museum stuff - you've got to be ready for it to be a bit of a grab bag of items without themes, sections etc, but if you want a wander and an 'oooh', fantastic
