That’s basically what Tumblr is now

So if the dyes aren’t artificial, you can claim “no artificial colours”. This sounds like it makes sense? 👍

In the past, companies were generally only able to make such claims when their products had no added color whatsoever — whether derived from natural sources or otherwise.

Here in the UK, I’m pretty sure “No added colours” and “No artificial colours” are two different claims.

He’s seen some shit

Um ok how did you get that pic of my bedroom

“Should we try to hide the one with the typo?”

“No. Make sure it’s the first one people see.”

A new £4m transport app […] which has now been downloaded more than 5,000 times

I know it has to start somewhere, but still, I can’t help being tickled that it’s currently costing £800 per user.

Grown by another £100,000 in the last decade, then. 😬

I think about this 2016 Newsnight intro fairly often.

My dad had some old games for his Amstrad computer that needed a Lenslok, to decode the characters displayed on the screen.

IIRC it didn’t work very well at all.

What a fucking world we live in

Both work, but I’ve always heard it as “So the barman gave her one.”

Maybe mine is the British version idk

Why are pirates pirates?

Because they arrrrr!

I think part of the reason it sounds muddled is because they’re trying to keep the anti-AI crowd on board as well.

Can you imagine Apple launching a big new feature and being like, “It’s going to be amazing! But don’t worry, there’ll be a big button so you can completely disable it!”

At least he’ll get a bit of a break from duplicitous, sinister Number 10. 😬

Always been quite fond of Melontusk. The name, not the person

And The Orange [blank] works well, e.g. “The Orange Horror”. Maybe even just “The Orange” tbh.

Are even Reform voters dumb enough to see that happen and think it’s a good thing? I mean, surely taking the piss out of Lettuce Liz is just about the only thing everyone in this country can agree on?

I really, genuinely, have always loved Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. It’s got a reputation of being lowest-common-denominator toilet humour, which… it always was. And it had a lot of problems, the worst being that three fifths of the original cast had quit by the end.

But it also had an awful lot of heart. A totally different writing style to any other sitcom I’ve seen. An amazing dedication to silly wordplay. They were constantly trying new things (two public votes, two musical episodes, a horror episode, and a live episode). And there were some genuinely great performances, particularly from Natalie Casey (who carried the heart of the show in later seasons), and, weirdly, Beverley Callard.

Even when it did totally fall apart towards the end, they brought in new cast members and somehow managed to make it feel like a return to form.

Also The Murder Game, a BBC crime-scene investigation reality show that I desperately want the right TV executive to hear about so they can reboot it. 😬

I really wanted to like it, but it’s already a right-wing cesspit. 🤷‍♂️ Maaaaaybe it’ll improve, now that it’s public, but I don’t have high hopes.

I know this place is just the opposite kind of echo chamber, but when the other option is being beaten over the head with transphobia and Maga shit, ehh, I’ll take it.
