And in doing so, you just made a very powerful enemy in him.

Noel Edmonds is a dick

He's ALWAYS been a dick. He lost his poo poo at a TV critic saying House Party was bad and ranted at them for like a minute on live Saturday night TV, he believes in and promotes The Secret like bullshit, he had a show on Sky called Noel's HQ that was a thinly veiled way for him to just yell at local government workers... He's a very competent presenter, just an awful person. Also I'm sad to hear Chris Barrie went off the deep end, he always struck me as being a harmless nerd-in-a-shed type with his fondness for cars and trains and big engines in general.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah he's spent the last few years going crazy about UK politics and getting loopier and loopier about it. I was going through his old posts via the Wayback Machine and at first I suspected that the covid pandemic lockdowns had broken his brain but it started even before that. Here's August 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20190913033948/http://www.chrisbarrie.co.uk/ What is wrong with this blog post?

Mr Hootington posted:What is wrong with this blog post? It's the start of him going nuts but it's not particularly off the deep end yet, although the part where he talks about how "acts of common sense in this country may soon be viewed as acts of criminality" is a hint at the direction he's heading. It's not until later posts that he starts ranting about "the wheels of rampant globalisation, the enslavement of humanity and insane wokery" and the like.

The full quote quote:As far as the ‘big picture’ is concerned, the outgoing year has witnessed the wheels of rampant globalisation, the enslavement of humanity and insane wokery begin to turn ever more quickly and I shall be continuing to remind readers of this psychopathic management of decline as we go forward. Seems fine to me. A lot of these little bits from his old blog posts make refernce to current leaders and parliament failing Britain. The Tories have been in control that entire time.

Even YEARS before House Party, following the tragic and horrendously neglectful death of Michael Lush on rehearsals for the Late, Late Breakfast Show's "Give It A Whirl" segment (segment where ordinary members of public take part in dangerous stunts that had already resulted in a couple of injuries, in which the BBC cut all manner of corners when it comes to health + safety especially for this fatal incident), his first appearance on TV afterwards was an interview where he talked about the tragedy entirely in the ways that it affected him, almost seeming resentful that Lush's death had been this impedence to his burgeoning career. A truly odious creature.

I love his 'response to your questions' videos where he clearly has no patience for some of the dumb poo poo he frequently gets asked. Man keeps it real. I just hope he keeps putting out funny skits once in a blue moon whenever he has a good idea for one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndIpK6lfbwk Short video on a guy who was allegedly kidnapping young women to join his cult turns out he was just a really charismatic Christian pastor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6YW-GUD78E One of the fitness youtubers who actually knows what he's talking about and doesn't promise miracle slimming pill or exercise. This is actually a full week thing focused on cardio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q46wTbzOoTA Looking at a lovecraftian visual novel on the PC 98 which is pretty fascinating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3uNYjJRTq0 They usually do older horror games but recognise that lethal company has some really good gameplay mechanics which is definitely going to be aped by future co op games. Didn't know there were that many variety of monsters, including a spider where ticking the arachnophobia accessibility option will give you a monster in the form of the word "spider" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uvQrUXQqQA Hell yeah

A truly odious creature. There's multiple episodes of House Party, especially in series 6+7 where he straight up rages on camera about technical things going wrong as well. At one point pulling an effects guy on camera to humiliate specifically after a gunge tank didn't go off properly. That's before you get into all the stories about him being incredibly creepy at any woman who was on Deal or No Deal, some of which he straight up invited to his house.

Apparently they only made a limited run of 50 ape skull rings and they sold out in 6 hours: https://sweetleafjewellery.com/products/sahelanthropus-tchadensis Looks like they're actually underestimating the demand by a huge margin.  poo poo, I think Milo may have actually struck on a good deal here where he gets a steady supply of archaeology-themed jewelry for himself at minimum risk

One of the best critiques of the whole fitness influencer/youtuber scene was one of the BroScienceLife videos. He starts ranting in character but also kinda breaking the 4th wall -- (paraphrased) "now you're stuck a a 'fitness' channel but actual fitness just requires doing the same thing over and over with very slow progression over a long period of time and once you've made about 10 videos you've probably said everything anyone needs to hear and so you then have to start doing 'what my day is like' vlogs" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDrEvUtHbL8 And the meta-joke is that he then makes another video focused on almost the exact same joke a few months later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI8oHhmuWkc

I mean, it's good to have scientific confirmation but, at least from where I am from, this is just one of those "self evident" common knowledge things.

I think the difference from folk knowledge, around here anyway, is that the prior belief was they were mistakenly navigating by the moon, or drawn in over distance. But the study seems to say that low altitude lights only seem to mess with insects at close range, causing them to keep their backs to the light source. Confusing the "up" direction for the insect.
