Never forget Galaxy Quest's TWO aspect ratio changes (that you probably didn't see because they forgot to tell the projectionists).

never forget that the hardest aspect ratio change ever also came from hunger games

The fall of the Roman Republic was caused by a powerful man so afraid of being prosecuted for his crimes he destroyed the government.

I wonder if the fall of Rome was this stupid.

On Wayne Rooney’s birthday, a reminder of Kevin Campbell’s first impression of playing alongside him for Everton reserves. What a great storyteller. Well worth revisiting in the @UndrTheCosh archives.

Woman goes to Jezza. Says she's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says she feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Jezza says, 'Solution is simple. Quit existing party affiliation, Join Your Party.' Woman bursts into tears-

Of all the deeply awful things about Nigel Farage, him being a _professional_ gobshite instead of a mere amateur is probably the least surprising and objectionable.

EXCL: Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment 👇🏼 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…



Thinking back to this Stewart Lee bit, Starmer is essentially the Richard Hammond to Farage's Jeremy Clarkson. youtube.com/watch?v=K7CnMQ…

Keir Starmer taking the knee. While wearing St George's Cross face paint. While snapping a selfie at Pride. While wearing a transphobic t-shirt. While setting fire to an immigrant's house. While shaking his head to show he disagrees with it. While giving a thumbs up to camera.



Sort of an inverse Ronaldo (2002).

If the GoF had just put Monads in the Design Patterns book and called them something dull like Function Decorators, we could have saved decades of snark and angst.

Monads have entered the chat. No, seriously. The best description of them I've ever read was from Graydon Hoare (yes, that one), who once wrote that he thought the "monad keeners" might be on to something, but they're impossible to understand "until your brain breaks, and then,…



Saw this announced today and immediately wondered what the worst book to turn into a Choose Your Own Adventure would be. My brother correctly suggested Lolita. Then I noticed there was an option to make it cyberpunk. I can only guess what milestone 3 is. 😬kathaaverse.com

Missed that it was 5 years since Garry passed. Given recent events, perhaps we'd have all fallen out by now (he was a rare breed: a staunchly Zionist Zen Buddhist), but I've always liked this photo of him taking time out at the pub after an Opta Pro Forum to share his knowledge.

I have a sort of part-time, quasi-religious belief that this is one of the cleverer optimisations the universe uses, as a side effect of consciousness. Also the reason we'll never meet aliens - snapping together two complicated timelines like that would be too expensive.

I think people are sleeping somewhat on how powerful modern Emacs powered by LLMs can be. Your editor writes functions to make writing editor functions easier and easier and easier, in ways you _could_ have done with elisp before but would probably sigh and not bother.
