@Devilligan There are still going to be many, many weird decisions coming because of the massive financial hole Discovery WB put themselves in with the takeover. Leveraged themselves to the hilt for capital and then interest rates soared. They're bailing water out of the titanic now.

@amaenad This kind of thing is fascinating to me. I'm self-aware enough to know other people are interested in different things to me, but the vastness of the gulf here still astonished me. I got to about 150, and then I stopped because I realised the experiment would take all day.

If you ever travel in Northeast England, take a moment to gaze at the mechanical wonder that is the Tees Transporter Bridge. It's a marvel of early 20th century engineering. The gondola underneath can hold 9 cars or 200 people.

@jpsmythe Amen. The number of armchair quarterbacks who'd fail even to hold the metaphorical football if they were ever given the chance is a sight to behold.

Sadly, it doesn't run anymore. Repairs are estimated at £7 million, so it'll just rot unless an eccentric billionaire takes pity on it. Catch it while it's still there, a curious beauty from another era.

It has a couple of curious showbiz connections. When 'Carry On' actor Terry Scott (if you're not British, don't ask) was driving back from a gig, didn't realise he had to wait for the gondola, and drove off the end of the roadway. Safety netting caught him, so he survived.

@lucyfishwife Hooray for Bruce! Charming, modest, down to earth - a joy to work with. Not massively interested in other people, but I think you can be forgiven that when you're a legit rock god, used to stadiums full of people hanging on your word.

@PigeonFeatherz I thought I understood it, but I had a wake-up call when I first trained in foreign gyms with mixed sparring. In UK Thai Boxing gyms, I'd only ever sparred with men. In Sweden, I had my first experience sparring a woman. Didn't go well for anyone.

@PigeonFeatherz In my experience, the only people, of either sex, who really appreciate the difference, are those who've participated in an activity where it matters, like powerlifting, or full-contact martial arts.

I’m really struck at the moment by the sheer number of women that just have absolutely no concept whatsoever of how much stronger the average man is than the average woman.

@amaenad I find, when you decode it, it's usually a variant of 'the stupid person said a stupid thing, and they're evil because they're stupid.' That, or 'please buy my shit.'

When I first began commercial art after ceramic design all those years ago I did a great deal of food labelling, without a camera these studies were used as reference and were good exercise, like a musician practicing scales.

@Devilligan Every part of Netflix's model is unsustainable. Billions in debt, operating loss of a billion a year, people able to greenlight each earning $10+ million PA for a job that should pay a few hundred K. No visible route to profitability, so yes, every show needs to be a megahit.

I've seen a few tweets in response to this news saying that Netflix clearly hate YA material. I mean, no, their biggest hits (Stranger Things and Wednesday) are YA material.

So this is weird. Today there is a rash of TV industry press articles about me, basically all saying the same thing - that I do my job - the job I've already done for more than a year. Strangely enormous pic in this one... televisual.com/news/rare-tv-a…
