A Schadenfreude party
Nice grey cat at 26.40 and Owen has his T shirt on back to front.

There needs to be an AI
which watches all long YouTube videos and flags up if and when a cat appears.

My favourite thing about GB News is that
they generate images using URL parameters, meaning you can create pictures of Andrew Neil which are as big as the moon.

Even after they've photoshopped the fuck out of him
he still looks like he's about 5 minutes away from a major cardiac event. The unhealthiest person on the telly I reckon

That double chin could be seen from the moon.
EDIT: One hour and sixteen minutes on an obscure news channel that no one is watching? He’s really must have a bee in his bonnet.

It's not his first one on the subject.
To be fair, the one I watched had someone on who was pretty insightful about media and why the GB News model is borked.

I was all for an analysis of why it’s failing, but 1:16 about a channel that started badly and got worse?
Jones must have some kind of fetish.

It's not on topic the whole time. The last 25 minutes is just Beakering about Twitter, which I skip because who fucking cares?

Indeed.
I skipped the whole thing because I thought I cared but it turns out I don’t care enough to watch over an hour of some obsessive rant. If I did watch the whole thing I’d have watched him obsessing over it for longer than I’ve watched the channel itself.

on another subject, I've been keeping an eye on hospital admissions in holland out of curiosity
and though they have gone up a very small fraction, it does appear that the 10,000 a day new cases aren't translating into admissions because of vaccinations even after giving it a couple of weeks, which bodes well for britains experiment.

In other news, cases of polio and smallpox continue to fall.

not exactly the same, those vaccinations seem to also to be enough to prevent transmission, which the covid vaccine isn't doing nearly as well as expected
but reducing the severity of symptoms is a good enough, at least against the current variants. Either way I prefer live large-population data over theoretical protection estimates, and countries like the uk and holland are nice guinea pigs for the rest of the world, like sweden was with their misguided policies
