I’ve got it down to mad max Furiosa for the spectacle and Heretic (Hugh Grant) for the spookiness. Outside chance of The Substance. Are any of these complete turkeys?

I watched this with the sound off and was reminded of my son’s face when he was two and he suddenly said, “Need a poo!……………………………………………………………………………………………………… it was just a fart.”

Flying cars were real when I was 5 Alex, I made them real in the same way Elon the Genocidaire CSAM pedo-peddler made them real in that video.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Yeah, we went to the cinema to see it. Me, my wife, our two boys and her father . Three generations loved it.

This is a project by my friend's father and it is absolutely wonderful

Cable and camera: selfies in 1970s Handsworth

theguardian.comCable and camera: selfies in 1970s HandsworthNearly 50 years ago in inner-city Birmingham, photographers Derek Bishton, Brian Homer and John Reardon set up an impromptu studio in the street and invited their neighbours along. With no camera phones in 1979, long cable releases gave participants the power to decide how they wished to be seen and represented. The project’s original aim was to counter negative media images of Handsworth and its people. Now, in collaboration with Dewi Lewis Publishing, a Kickstarter fund has been set up to bring them together in book form

A severe drought has been declared for parts of England for the first time since 1995, pushing the government to step up emergency planning as reservoir levels sink far below seasonal norms.

OpenAI and Anthropic are being undercut by cheaper open-source and Chinese models that are good enough for most use cases. I dunno what that does to their revenue forecasts, but I guess it's not good. www.theregister.com/paas-and-iaa...

OH and the two sons are away this weekend and I’ve got a long list of DIY jobs to do. But I plan to watch a movie on Saturday night. Any suggestions? I was thinking sci-fi or horror but I’m at a loss. Was gonna go for Alex Garland’s Civil War but the reviews were mixed

Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, and that’s how Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

my apologies. They're kinda a family joke because my mum used to point them out on long car journeys from Lincolnshire to Fife.

It's a Belted Galloway. My mum was from a Scottish farming family.
