Dear BBC, 100 billion plus is a lot of money, but it is a long way short of the trillion pounds that Sophie Rayworth on the 6o'click news, just said was being spent. Someone is very bad at maths.

The greatest frustration is not doing everything. Elise usually does too much, which is almost certainly not enough. Is this theatre, spoken word, comedy or tragedy? Yes. And no. Life is a Little Circus and nobody likes clowns. If you like poetry, theatre, videos, laughing and crying, this may or may not be what you're looking for, but it is a thing. All the genres tossed in a bag. Elise was the winner of BBC Three Upstaged, best actor at The Super Shorts Festival and various other obscure awards that no longer have Wikipedia pages.

Elon Musk whispered to his first wife, Justine, that he was 'the alpha in this relationship' at their wedding reception Justine Musk said that Elon Musk told her to dye her hair blonder and that she felt like she was being turned into a trophy wife.

Whenever anyone says they're an alpha I assume they've written themselves into some sort of mpreg fan fiction and their username is something like Ima Tool. Which is fine, but I'm just saying. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-ju...

Which Dystopia are You In? #books #orwell #novel YouTube video by Elise Harris

youtube.com/shorts/kWxKz... Which classic dystopia are you in?

Googled four things today and instead of good results got AI summaries at the top. Every one of the summaries has been wrong, misleading and harmful.

You don't hear people invoking Godwin's Law any more because everyone loses when you were right because they are now far far right.

Several billionaires should be reminded that if the banks they have their money in don't have as much money as them, they do not have the money either. And if they invest in unconventional currencies they definitely don't have the money. None of that is real.

Planning to follow any Bluesky or YouTube of any USA creator who is still coming up on my FYP. Even if they can't see us I think it is important to still see them.

Watching Pearl and think "That guy looks like he should be Superman" look him up. Oh. Yeah, obviously.

Apparently it is not accessible in the US any more and they have a notice screen, but I can still see their content for now.

Is it inactive for you now yet? I can still see all the USA content and most of my fyp is still American.

It's about 10 minutes to midnight and Tiktok Americans are still there. I see a lot of US content but just checked and only 4.4% of my audience is from there whereas on YouTube it's mostly USA. I hope we can still stay connected.

Yes, it was bigger and more impressive than a lot of hotel rooms I have stayed in! (Also, the hairdryer in my room was broken so maybe it was the one used in the episode!)

Spoiler for Doctor Who: The bit where he was trying to make Joy angry and he said only the saddest person would choose a hotel room that bad. I stayed at that very hotel (It's actually in Cardiff) in May and my room was worse and smaller so I felt personally affronted.

Emilia Perez is essentially The Great Gatsby. I have read things about how problematic it is, and it's hard to disagree, but it is entirely The Great Gatsby.

Watching Detective Pikachu. I was the UK editor of Pojo's Pokemon magazine back in the day and there are about a bajillion new Pokemon since then.

Which is to say, I don't like it when people say things like "Oh, but he's a genius" to excuse a terrible person.

You can support the person and not particularly like their art. But if the person is a terrible person their art is tainted by that. If the art is supposedly great but the person is a POS then I'd rather ignore the art than support the person because of the art.

Watching The Holiday and wondered why I had never finished watching it before. Realised I switched it off the last time after two characters confidently agreed that Cary Grant was from Surrey.

Tooth or Tusk? Rock of the Day Advent 20 #archeology #geology #paleontology #palaeontology YouTube video by Elise Harris

Calling it Wicked: For Good makes me expect two more films before it and after Wicked. Wicked: Kiss Me Too Fiercely and Wicked: At Least I'm Flying Free, maybe. If you have a four you need a two and three.

Trying to work out the cheapest possible place to live. It certainly is not London.

YouTube informs me I can control what third party sites can use my content for AI training. Puzzled at who would actually let any company or entity use their content, especially as there is absolutely nothing in it for them. Thankfully the default is none.
