New video! We all have our miserable little piles of secrets, according to Dracula. But what is The Secret of Shinobi? Herbal Essences? Maybe it's Maybelline? Nope. Turns out, it's a doggo! Here's my retrospective look at Shadow Dancer on the #Sega #MegaDrive.

I'm so tired of study after study that shows clear economic growth and stability for everyone (UBI, 4 day work week, universal healthcare, etc) but because the richest people in the country get rich faster without them, we all just suffer instead.
And this over the top of already obscene wealth...

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

Mr. Beast has confirmed in an interview that the skeletons in the Beastland Haunted House are the remains of "a fraction" of the enslaved migrant workers who died during construction. Mr. Beast has offered the families a lifetime supply of Feastables as recompense.

I received a repeat fee today of £7:23 for my appearance in the BBC sitcom My Family. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios. At lunch, I sneaked off and had a nose around the 007 stage. Would never get away with that now.
Can anyone guess from this image what movie set I saw that day?

We talk a lot about the Horniman walrus but Charles Waterton's attempt at stuffing the head of a bottom howler monkey deserves some attention/nightmares too

A colleague microwaves fish every Friday lunchtime without fail. Instead of speaking to him like a functioning adult, I've started microwaving popcorn at 11.30a.m. so the office smells better before the seafood apocalypse hits. I will die before confronting him directly.

every morning Keir Starmer calls an aide into his room at 6.30am to film him doing bicep curls
"leak this to the Daily Mail" he says between grunts. "say that friends of Keir are concerned about how strong he is right now"
the aide nods, holding up the phone. it's not filming. it's never filming.

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Politically it's easier to pass the less onerous restrictions, the ones that just seem like common sense — "like flashing your ID at a liquor store!" The government builds a moral panic, then promises its easily solvable.
That panic, once taken hold, now provides cover for bolder restrictions.
