I was gonna ask what happened to that godawful Thor film I had the misfortune of catching

I'm impressed they've managed to surpass that

This seems like it could be huge from an e-waste perspective, particularly regarding electric car batteries

what is this? I googled and found nothing

Ah I got my history slightly wrong, she bathed in donkey milk and just liked asps (a kind of snake)

You had me curious so I just went on Facebook marketplace and searched "bike"

The first screen of results was all bikes under £100

You realise you don't need to buy a carbon fiber Tour de France bike to get around a town, right?

I remember thinking Netscape was way cooler than IE based purely on the throbber animation

Maybe coconut water or aloe vera gel, I imagine it'd feel weird but probably not regrettable.

I guess we've got to beat Cleopatra as our baseline with her bath of asp milk.

Marmite would probably veer into the regrettable category, and I'm saying that as a marmite enjoyer

Modern propaganda techniques are such that millions of people believe in a reality that doesn't exist.

Sadly, they're simply brainwashed rubes

Worryingly, there's a growing number of them thanks to all the "manosphere" and "trad" movements that exist to brainwash kids

What monster red phones this

 

It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.

Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.

Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

 

What would you add/change for next time

I know I could do with a sweeter red vermouth

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Let's kick off some slightly low effort content here:

Which is your favourite game in the series?

For me it will always be between Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.

I think the story of TD is what pulled me into the series in the first place, and RA on Westwood online is what cemented me as a fan
