Weird the way the entire world went mad and only the creator of the IT Crowd was unaffected.

I have never liked the "holidays are coming" fizzy crack truck, but I do love spot the difference puzzles. Thanks to this one company (I'm not sure which, the logo keeps changing) for providing a great competition this year. First spot is the squirrel's tail has dropped off.

KNOW YOUR FRIDAYS:

Good Friday: the Messiah is dead

Black Friday: capitalism is alive

TGI Fridays: high chance of bowling or cinema nearby

Man Friday: there’s only two of us on this island and you’re a racist

Utterly unhinged.
"Nobody dares tell me," rants Linehan, "why, when I choose to print out these GIFs, they never ever end up animated on the printed sheet. That's absolutely mental. I see the Cool Spot dancing about on my screen, MY OWN SCREEN, but when it pops out of my Epson on perfectly normal A4 paper, it's static. Completely static! And they say I'm the mad one?" At this point, the waiter asks Graham if he wants anything else. It does not go well. Graham asks the cafe employee if he part of the Big Printer conspiracy. "I can't help you with that," replies an exasperated waiter. "I have no idea why they demand a full magenta cartridge when you're only going to print in black and white. We're closing in five minutes by the way."

love to live in a world where all my personal data is relentlessly harvested so that megacorps can feed it into their all-knowing algorithms and yet somehow the end result is that algorithm going “we think you’d like Clarkson’s Farm”

That uber-pernicious comedy writer in 2008: "Heh, I hate sport so much, I'll have my sitcom ridicule football in this episode!"

That uber-pernicious comedy writer now: "I really care about the absolute integrity of sport and yes I know it's 3am, but the wrong people are winning sports."

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The history books, now, will have to be rewritten. They'll quite simply say "The OBR released a budget analysis 25 minutes early". Everything else will be a footnote.

Shows like Whirligig seemed lost to ancient history even when people wistfully mentioned them in the eighties, so it's always a thrill to watch a documentary that makes them feel just that bit closer to the world as we still know it now. Hugely entertaining. Plus Stranger From Space content!

Exactly 75 years ago, BBC Television had just begun regular broadcasting at Saturday teatimes, with the opening episode of Whirligig at 5pm.

We all know what happened 13 years later - but how does this story begin...?

Here's my first ever YouTube TV history video - The Story of Whirligig:

Gonna start a band called 2025 Anyone, so that we get free publicity in the YouTube comments of other people's songs.

Obviously we'll have to break up at the end of the year tho
