If only there was a social network where... now bear with me on this... You could have a select group of friends that you share things with and where you would only see content that they posted (rather than random crap from an algorithm).

Didn't they eventually recast both wives and switch the plot so he was sick of his 1940s wife and suddenly interested in his modern day wife again? I vaguely remember thinking it seemed odd - like a statement about the new actresses or something.

Bit Biggins centric. He described every actor as eccentric and then chose the pantomime episode as his favourite because it helped him get panto work.

You do the test more than once to measure the rate of decline. Normally every 6 months or so. I assume frequency varies depending on the patients access to nuclear launch codes.

Watched it yesterday with the kids. The strip dance scene was a bit 'more' than I remembered. The kids may be scarred. I certainly am.

Shit! Totally missed the brief - that's my best celebrity encounter. Most minor would be getting off a train and John Barnes got on. Or was on a train and Jeff Banks was asleep in the same carriage. Always trains!!

I thankfully rarely tread upon Apple turf but yesterday tried to get Apple TV for over the Xmas period. Apparently my account is locked and I cannot reset my password. The email telling me this says I should therefore reset my password. Good thing UX is important to apple or I'd be fooked.

Some people will try this. They may also try microwaving scrunched up tinfoil to make a metal ball or try throwing boiling water into very cold air to do... whatever that was. Some people are stupid and it seems they multiplying.

The AI didn't generate that itself. Some prick instructed it to produce the video then posted it like it was real. It's not the leg/finger glitches that's the problem. It's the lie. It's the intent.

I tried to find why Google moved away from it's "don't be evil" motto. Best explanation I could find was:
“Don’t be evil” became difficult to apply consistently or defend publicly.

I lament that the year gap between Normal Collier's fame peak and Zoom work meetings means that not only do people not understand me, they also don't understand the joke reference when my WiFi sorts itself out.

I loved the idea that 'cups' is a fluid measurement because the mental US system where cups is an actual thing rather than just an indicator of HOW MANY ACTUAL CUPS OF HOT WATER YOU MIGHT GET
