Did my eyes and ears deceive me or did ‘OPEN THE PENGUINS RIP OUR THEIR HEARTS!!!!!’ not make the Claudia supercut :(

Emmerdale’s Charity, who is heavily pregnant, stands in a hospital lift with Coronation Street’s Carla. Both are exhausted, having clearly had A Right Day Of It

Now I don’t think the main takeaway from Corriedale was supposed to be me declaring myself captain of this unlikely ship, but one can dream, right? (Or enjoy two soap bicons seeing the lighter side of a terrible, horrible, not good very bad etc etc day)

Happy Motorsport Christmas to all who celebrate 🏎️ 🎄

on this date eight years ago, Tom Holland wowed Zendaya on Lip Sync Battle with his cultural critique of impervious surface stormwater runoff.

Kimi Antonelli’s F1 LEGO Speed Champions Mercedes set (and his massive teddy bear)
The entire Carlos Signs episode unapologetically leaning into dating show tropes
And as little time as I have for Flavio Briatore, he very much knows his lane as the heel of F1 and fully commits when he turns up

Other highlights so far, four episodes down:

Alex Albon saying the set for the class of 2024 driver photo made him feel like he’s in the Teletubbies
Toto eating his lunch in the presence of Netflix, declaring ‘not elegant’ as crispbread goes everywhere
A well-deployed George Russell ‘Blimey’

I’m used to DtS’ editing choices, but the lack of mention of the post-race penalty (which I don’t think would have taken anything away from the episode’s narrative of George developing confidence to demonstrate to Toto he has potential to lead the team) absolutely sent me

The FIA technical regulations, Mercedes themselves and George himself: Are you sure about that?

Going to start a synthpop band and our first EP shall be named Magic of the Cup, featuring the lead track ‘Harry Maguire’s Forehead’

(Honestly, coming up with this is the only small measure of amusement I’ve had so far in this curséd FA Cup game)

Doctor Who's Joy To The World Christmas special could shine brighter The star attraction isn't what you think it is.

I guess I’m the only one who was disappointed by the latest #DoctorWho Christmas special 😅

There’s a segment in the middle that I adored. It was so strong that the rest of the episode felt lacklustre and even cringe in comparison. My Digital Spy review 👇🏻

Kate holds up a theatre programme in front of a stage which has the curtain drawn across it. The programme cover features a black and white photograph of the actors Lucian Msamati and Ben Whishaw, who have clearly been waiting for this Godot customer for a very long time indeed.

We need a mass public education programme that explains what LLMs actually *do*. There is nothing to "take up with ChatGPT". ChatGPT doesn't know anything. It's a plausible-sounding text generator, not an encylcopedia.
