Halt and Catch Fire is on ITVx. It's the best TV you've never heard of!

Farewell to Halt and Catch Fire, the best show that nobody watched

After four seasons, the thrilling tech drama has ended, leaving behind an under-appreciated legacy that deserves to be filed next to Mad Men

What? The gov comms are terrible? I mean, they've been killing it this last year. 🤷‍♂️

It seems more and more, with every passing day, that we're watching a remake of 1930s Europe.

And to anyone who thinks I'm being hyperbolic- it's the accumulation of small acts, fascism doesn't happend over night.

Either that or she did an apprenticeship before going to university - but I don't think she's ever said that before.

I do hope she's not stretching the truth, as that would be unfortunate for her argument. 😉

She talks about what she learned on her apprenticeship.

Has she ever talked about doing an apprenticeship herself before?
Because a degree in computer science ain't an apprenticeship.

When and where did she do this apprenticeship? 🤷‍♂️

Right here! Right now!

Thank goodness those weight-loss jabs were not in vain. 😉

To be fair, looking at the pictures of the, ahem, crowds at the conference it looks like they're being pretty successful. 😜

I think you're being unfair.

I'm sure he's on record as being equally appalled that he only sees white faces in Herefordshire* where his second/third home is. 😉

Exactly! How can none of them not know about Healey's Law of Holes? 🤷‍♂️

Or even Ian Hislop, who I think would describe himself as editing a news magazine. 🤷‍♂️ Not a good look for him.

I thought Hislop edited a news magazine, and he even agreed and amplified it. 🤷‍♂️

Hislop giggling and nodding along.

I thought he claims to edit a news magazine. 🤦🏼‍♂️

So strange. How did she not remember this rather important bit of recent history?

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 7d

I thought she'd got CBS, not Sky. 😉

*gets coat and leaves*

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 7d

What a shame 😂

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 7d

That's good.

Am I imagining that Nick Robinson did this recently when an interviewee would accept basic facts?

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 7d

Would have been good if Sky had stoped the interview at that point. If he won't accept common facts, how can you interview him?

The whole median voter concept seems to be imported from the US, where there is a two-party system.

It is fairly meaningless in a multi-party system, and might actually be misleading.

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 9d

Obviously the official misread the directive.

Everyone knows, it clearly states that playing until there is an equaliser should only be applied when Liverpool are the loosing team. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wishing to choose your neighbours based on their ethnicity, seems a fairly good definition of racism to me.

Nailed on that EU tarrifs are going to be increased. 😉

Expect Pam Bondi to be tasked with some more prosecutions. 😉

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 12d

Oh, and he definitely wasn't there on the first day to cheer on team USA. In fact, he doesn't know any of them.
