UK politics live – latest updates
The chief of West Midlands police has apologised to MPs for giving them incorrect evidence about the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, saying it had been produced by artificial intelligence (AI).
Craig Guildford told the home affairs select committee on Monday that the inclusion of a fictitious match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and West Ham in police intelligence “arose as a result of a use of Microsoft Copilot”. Continue reading...

I love it when someone discovers the bleedin' obvious & treats it like some kind of deep wisdom life hack.
Of course watching TV is better without gawking at social media
...except Top of the Pops obviously, we need that sense of community when there's some tragic post-Britpop landfill to slag off.

Actually watching TV without doomscrolling at the same time is so fucking relaxing. Also TV is a high art form when compared to the AI gloop and fear mongering racism that is served up on social media.

Pleased with the review for BubbleBack in the latest Crash. 83%, that's our highest yet.
I think the sound should be over 90% though. (I can say that as it wasn't something I did 😉)

In 1980, Tyne Tees' magazine show for teens, CHECK IT OUT, gave kids in the North-East of England the lowdown on nuclear war. And it's a delight from start to finish.

This is amazing! It's so US-centric though, I'd love an MTV Europe one.
It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.
This is really, really great.
