This, by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social on the 'everything is shortform video now' bubble, is excellent and more fodder for my personal 'transmetroplitan is the best predictor of the medium-term future' thesis which has inexplicably failed to catch on: www.garbageday.email/p/what-happe...
I do love work where you can SEE the 'insight'
Console yourself that you will one day be able to use it again in order to sell people more things they neither want or need! And lo, the circle of life* did continue x

8 years is pretty much the optimal recycling is timeline (also, that is PHENOMENAL recall)
In much the same way that 'why-aye man' or 'day five in the big brother house' works as a gateway into the geordie accent, so 'it beggars belief' is a remarkably good way to slip into the Starmerese voice
I don't normally post links to my Actual Paid Work, but I enjoyed this story about the AI that is (not really) running for President, and What It All Means, and maybe you will too: www.thenewworld.co.uk/matt-muir-th...

I have absolutely no authority, but will ask EJ Thribb
Limerick please
My pleasure! Also, if you didn't check them out the Diana poems are very much worth a look too x
It's a beautiful Saturday in London, so why not waste it by spending the next few hours with the ALL THE BEST LINKS (no, really, it is ALL of them) in Web Curios? Oh, fine, please yourselves: webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-17...
A NATION WAS IN MOURNING CRAIG YOU MONSTER
Ha, Christ knows where I dragged 40 from! Still reckon none of the poets were under 60...
Jesus, sorry, I think I must have had a stroke for a moment
I am fairly confident that all the authors have snuffed it, 40 years on, but such deathless verse!
If you want a Friday afternoon moment of pure, unalloyed joy, Steve very kindly managed to find me the double page spread of readers' poems published by the Mirror a few days after Diana's death. A nice corrective to 'social media has made us dumb' narratives - we were ALWAYS like this
Friday! Lunchtime! Superb links to click on while you watch the media riffing on Poor Keir's pain! Web Curios! The best of the web, the worst of humanity, in one, massive, indigestible bolus! webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-17...

Congratulations!x
I look forward to the A/W26 campaign 'walking is for cucks and soyboys'
I fucking hate brands. Nike can fuck off.
OH MY GOD THANKYOU!!!
Thanks for looking! It will remain a glorious artefact of memory
the weird thing is they would probably have been acquitted had they done so
Trying to think if it would be possible to have that sort of collective moment in modernity, and who it would be for (other than that mad fucking cunt across the water finally dying, obvs)
Thanks - was a few days afterwards (I remember as I was on a flight back from Greece and they had all the weekend tabloids which were 90% Diana and totally fucking insane)
Oh my word, do you by any chance the copy of (I think) the Mirror which contained a double-page spread of readers' tributes in verse?
Lovely to see @shardcore.org's excellent 'On The Hill' get a tremendous review in @thequietus.com. You really should give the album a listen: thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
Obsessed with this 1996 Dutch ad for THUNDERDOME XIII: THE JOKES ON YOU, a two disc CD album of hardcore rave music with a commercial I could unironically see being like, used in a lol so randumb moment in Deltarune or something. This is fine art.
