Has anyone read this? I downloaded it as an audiobook, but history books really don’t work for me in audio format. Does anyone have the print copy? And is it worth reading? #history

If Ozzy really is the Godfather of metal, then Lemmy is his Consigliere. What a tune. πŸ™‡

Superman review – is it a bust? Is it a pain? James Gunn’s dim reboot is both The Man of Steel – played with square-faced soullessness by David Corenswet – has an uninteresting crisis of confidence in Gunn’s cluttered, pointless franchise restarter

Superman is ace. And I feel like the Guardian has become the Pitchfork of movie reviews. Talk about completely missing the point. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...

One thing it wasn’t was unexpected.

I came close to drowning as a child, after stupidly sneaking off to swim on my own whilst on a holiday in Spain. I got caught in a riptide. And if it wasn’t for a local man that recognised the signs, I’m quite sure I’d have died. Read the article.

If a plumber ever gave me a quote on clearing my poo pipe, dear reader, I would not hire that plumber.

Cats are great at making you feel guilty for helping them. Cuddles will help you both.

Boston Terriers are adorable. I’d love to get another dog. I just don’t think this house is big enough for two stupid dogs.

Sweden had one of the biggest empires in Europe until it was defeated by Russia (under Peter the Great, who Putin seems to idolise). I despise Putin. I was just saying that nation states are (almost always) built on violence.

This is patently wrong. The β€œAI industry” consists of far more than a handful of LLMs trained on web content. Either completely reform copyright and IP law, or stop applying it in such bizarre ways. These existentialist arguments from so-called experts are just idiotic.

On the one hand I totally get all the hate for Putin. And yet I find the exceptionalism odd. Show me a country that hasn’t turned to war in recent centuries. The very nature of nation states is predicated on conflict.

Football is the real loser. Shocking game so far.

Hojlund couldn’t trap a bag of cement. I really want him to do well, but he’s just not very good.

They totally split a session in two there, because some copywriter didn’t want to promote 13 lessons. But, having consulted Jim, had to call it β€˜a’ and β€˜b’, because Jim was adamant that they weren’t standalone lessons. I may be overthinking this.
