News, but every image and story is generated by AI. Better than the daily Star at least.

I think this clip inspired a NTNOCN sketch.

I thought so. Pretty sure those were still Boots and Yorkshire Bank locations when I lived there in the 90s (maybe they still are), but what about the other shops? Anyone know what Woods Market was?

Woods minimart was there when I first started going to Hunters Bar in the late 80s.

Didn't know where else to put this:

That's great. A different world. And yet...is that me in the blue jacket by the van about to start hitching to Stoney?

Not sure where best to put this, but pretty incredible to watch https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1649043715686793218

120m tall and ~5000 tons. About as tall as a 40 storey building!

A new video was just released by Bobby Fingers - potentially the greatest youtube account of all time. If you are new to it I would start with this one

The previous two are incredible too.

The latest release is

I've only just started watching but I'm sure it'll be fantastic

It is. You really want headphones and a quiet space to do it justice. I'm not even sure how to describe it. Captivating satirical insanity?

For anyone else who loves fonetics, music theory and linguistics @etymology_nerd has a series of absolutely bonkers videos on a synthetic whistling languages (bird word)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7sXMHvdlr4E

He also made a dolphin language

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kDFWmUIiHdI

and of course, a creol of the two.

Enjoy and Happy new year!

I really liked the creative editing and humour in this pointless bit of woodworking:  https://youtu.be/iOX53CFLSYQ?si=h6s6CZrKxcgs1h3H

Wait, what? Why is this site showing a burned out shell? Is that the actual boat? Shit...?

Yup, my one official listing and they changed the photo to that. It used to be:



In 2016, she was in Marmaris marina, moored next to a very old, classic yacht “The One” which caught fire, exploded and set a couple of adjacent boats on fire too.
I didn’t actually design it to look like that.
