Even under sombre circumstances, it was still a pleasure to see the great Billy Crystal back on stage at the Oscars last night. .#oscars

@OfficialHuey Huey your radio show has been the highlight of my Saturdays for years now and I’m saddened to hear of you leaving. All I can say is thank-you for the music.

For almost 18 years, every Saturday, T-bone and I put together the best open format radio show we can. 52 weeks a year we make your weekend special because we love y’all. There’s no other way to do this. Thanks for listening… bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00…

Prove to me you’re an old gamer in one sentence. I’ll drop a like if I’m convinced.

@TheCinesthetic The Hill (1965)

A movie that's in your top 25 list but unlikely to be in anyone else's?

Mumford & Sons at BST Summertime tickets sold out before they even went on early release sale. This is for a concert in Hyde Park next summer with a capacity of around 65,000 people. The touts win again. Live music is dead. #ticketmaster

@JamesMelville I remember working at the BBC when our desk got a threatening letter claiming we hadn’t paid our TV licence — the idea of the BBC chasing a BBC desk for a TV licence was just ridiculous.

Some home truths about the BBC from former BBC Clothes Show presenter Jeff Banks.

@EnfieldCouncil you’ve destroyed Palmers Green High Street. Can’t even stop at Sainsbury’s Local for dinner items — nowhere to stop or park. Miles of empty cycle lanes, no cyclists. No wonder shops are closing or turning into dodgy cafés and barbers.

If any of you remember playing the old text-based adventure games you should try inputting this into ChatGPT: “Let's play a game, similar to the Hobbit text-based adventure game released by Melbourne House in the 80s, but with better syntax and better text inputs options for me.”

@EnfieldCouncil @TfL please look at the junction of Green Lanes, Hedge Lane & Bourne Hill. Turning right onto Hedge Lane is dangerous — cars from Bourne Hill speed through as the lights change. Feels like an accident waiting to happen.

@Brink_Thinker Every single one of my married friends slept with their now wives on their first date. Every single one.

This is how all first dates should end.. 😊

Hotel breakfast buffet question: Croissant pile: do you use the tongs, or just grab the top one with your hands? I only touched the one I ate, but another guest wasn’t pleased. Who’s right here? #hotelbreakfast

Work from home? Great. But why should your home-office get a free ride? Every other business pays rates, why not yours? A provocative policy idea: tax home-working business rates to cut the deficit, push people back into offices and revive our city centres. #RemoteWork

Problems with @EnfieldCouncil voter registration form, the website, automated telephone line and sms service do not recognise the security code that came printed on the voter registration form. I had to call the helpline and actually speak with a member of staff to confirm. #vote

@London_W4 I remember seeing one in North London, parked illegally on a pavement photographing other cars parked allegedly illegally. One rule for them, one rule for us

Outside the pub right now, waiting for my grocery delivery to be delivered and the camera car is here. He drives up and down the road, instantly and automatically fining anyone without a permit. I think it’s wrong. So I’m stood in the road being pathetic and childish and delaying him from ruining peoples evening. This country is just plummeting to the bottom and I think we’ve all had enough. Never thought I’d reach this level.

@_DavidMorrell First Blood is a perfect movie.

While changes between books & their movies are inevitable, I love FIRST BLOOD, directed by Ted Kotcheff and based on my debut novel. It seems more realistic w/each year because its action scenes don’t use computer effects. The realism of the stunts is amazing.

I get it, circular time and all that—but I still think a couple of blinking lights or pulses would’ve saved them a lot of drama 😅

Rewatching Arrival and it still bugs me: why didn’t they start with binary? You’re trying to communicate with obviously intelligent beings—wouldn’t on/off, 1s and 0s be the most basic, universal way in?

Instead, they jump straight into written symbols, which assumes a ton about the alien perception of time, meaning, and form. Binary could’ve been the bridge.

Binary is fundamental—light/no light, signal/no signal. It’s not based on human language or culture. Once you agree on that basic logic system, you can build up—math, patterns, even language structure.
