This sort of stuff is what Social media is made for.
I learnt tonight that the lead singer of Toto, Joseph Williams is the son of the prolific soundtrack composer, John Williams.

As you were.

All jokes aside, this is actually true.

I remember we used to laugh a lot at his strips in the office when I was in my first job 20 years ago. I enjoyed one or two of his spin-off books, too.
Then he proved himself an outright arsehole, and he did it publicly.
Such a shame that Scott Adams spent the last fifteen years or so of his life being such a horrible, shitty, person so very publicly that the very same people who twenty years ago would have been genuinely heartbroken at his death are now making gloating jokes.

Scott Adams has died at the age of 68. He created Dilbert and endorsed Trump, was antivaxx for COVID, and had reprehensible views on women, race, and the Holocaust.

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Without the popularity of his books back then and their explosion in the popular consciousness, I dont think we would have shows like Ancient Aliens nowadays.

They may be getting bits of that wrong (or they may be right on target) but it’s hard to take seriously people who think shouting declarations of hostility to the US helps defend Ukraine or keep the Navy afloat or support the hundreds of thousands of defence related jobs.

It's hard to argue with much of this. I have no idea if Stewart would want it, though.

England’s best performances came when the players didn’t follow the coach’s rhetoric and that highlights the problem with his one-dimensional approach

😀 it's still deep and snowy around here.
A giant fertility statue has appeared in Warley Woods. The snow statue, which bears similarity to the Venus of Willendorf is thought to represent 'The Queen of Bearwood' who is a local deity. It is thought to have been built to celebrate female fertility and bring good luck.

If you wanted to get in touch with a friend, you had to call their house and hope they were in.

If they were in, you would probably have to awkwardly get their parent/housemate/sibling to go and fetch them to the phone.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Interesting thing. If abusive content is generated now, Grok will definitely have some details on the user, at least for payment details.

Police forces should use legal powers to request this information as soon as it comes up.

Everything's terrible, except for it's the 8th of January, and in just a couple of hours Peter Bleksley kicks off his absolutely bonkers tour of the UK and Ireland.

I needed to map it to see if there was a rhyme or reason to his route, but no, it's just as maniacal as it seemed.
