Lightness?

#NYT #'Argentina shunning the Spanish coronation felt uniquely unappealing; a show of disrespect to the winners of the most high-profile sporting event in the world...entirely in keeping with a charmless Argentine showing which offered little by way of substance or style over the 120 mins.'

My Crocs, shrunk by the sun, audition for #Scream franchise?

One of the most moronic and unnecessary #Labour UK funding cuts in an age of national idiocracy and short-termism by a PPE-educated yet illiterate political class. £80m a year is peanuts for the massive benefits and profits generated. #FFS! #DiamondLight #Oxford

Lovely evening of Handel, Vivaldi, and Bach at #StMartinsIntheField where an Iranian harpsichordist, Jewish cellists and others from the UK and all other the world played together in harmony as part of the splendid #OxfordPhilharmobicOrchestra. St Martin-in-the-Fields share.google/YataLdBCQAWC...

Due to *low* pressure, surely? #SouthernWater aka 'SouthernArid'

Where that #Iraqi #Supergun ended up? #ProjectBabylon Project Babylon - Wikipedia share.google/iiI0Tu0HTY2e...

Encouraging to see more bees, butterflies and even a few Dragonflies in the garden.

#ProjectHailMary. Probably the best natured end of the world sci-fi film I've seen. Very enjoyable. On Amazon Prime in UK now.

If this isn't the plot to a thriller, then I don't know what is!? #NuclearReactor #Thorium #shippingcontainer #CopenhagenAtomics

Surprised BT is into HBO's #Watchmen...

Used to be easy to edit a search in a browser window, or Google search widget, but since AI searches have been thrust on us, you cannot, and have to 'go back'. Looks like there are ways to overcome it, but it's really annoying. Just give us control and stop thrusting your defaults on users. #UX

Fantastic writing, editing and story-telling, in one self-contained series, the superb 2019 #HBO #Watchmen series (not to be confused with the eponymous, but v. different 2009 film) feels ever more relevant, and prescient, in our age of masked ICE-agents and 'mesmeric' media; Imho a work of genius.

Chaotic, excruciating lunchtime #BBCNews coverage (22/6/26) of #Starmer's resignation, with ennui-inducing, tracking shots of Burnham's tardy Euston train, intrusive dead-air filling platform pics upskirtung poor commuters who haven't signed permission/waivers...whilst

Marylebone increasingly feels like a posh, 'spenny, self-exiling version of #ThePrisoner

#SpaceX's spacesuits are even uglier than their Tesla Trucks. Which is saying something. Are those Wellington Boots?

Some superb lines in #CriminalRecord S2E7 (and S1 etc) #AppleTV

#TheChristophers, well made, fairly intelligent but more 'somewhat interesting' than 'good. Footnote, odd minor casting / tone from James Corden.

Even this AI output is better than UK entry was!

Though it failed to identify the 1920s German expressionist-tribute film set that is my office.

Thank you AI oracle for instructions on replacing smoke alarm battery just from a pic ("it's 'slide', not 'twist', you fool, Mr Wray.")

The sight of the increasingly tumescent, rubber-lipped BBC 'Political Editor'-aka gossip-monger-in-chief #ChrisMason slathering over #Starmer, et al, is just one dispiriting symptom of a #BBCNews clown shop crashing out of serious news reporting into the media midden of attention economy reporting.

#ITVNews's #PaulBrand needs side whiskers? #GMB

Oops - at the amazing Yorkshire Sculpture Park, many moons ago...
