This reminded me of Ersatz TV [1], which on checking appears to have gone into maintenance mode a few weeks ago. I had wanted to use something that lets me set up an EPG with all o…

This is a great innovation and I'm sure in time it'll become a useful source of information. There are some edge cases of course. If you live on the Irish border, you'll have a cho…

This video feed feels like I'm watching some Adam Curtis b-roll live. Currently the camera, based in Israel, is panning across the land to catch explosions as the plumes of smoke r…

This was discussed previously, but this is because of a court case that Warner Music and Sony brought against radio streaming app TuneIn Radio. They argued that streaming stations …

Yeah, one of my favourite examples from Commie is the treatment they gave to the opening for Lovestory (Koimonogatari) from the Monogatari series. The visuals of the opening itself…

One of the big uses of Aegisub that I remember from many years ago is anime fansubbing, which also drove the specification for the subtitle format it uses, ASS (Advanced Substation…

I can't see anything here that's notably different from Radio Garden. Radio Garden got so popular that they were forced to stop streaming stations from outside the UK to listeners …

By most accounts the Elizabeth line in its operational phase has been a great success. According to the ORR's (Office of Road and Rail) first annual report after opening the centra…

Not passing judgement on this at all, but just giving you another data point. Every so often, Hololive, a famous Virtual YouTuber agency, debuts a new set of talents by introducing…

This reminded me of the Hidden London tours, which allow guided access to staff-only disused and abandoned parts of the London Underground. There's a real excitement in taking a pe…

As an adjunct to this, the UK, which might have joined this scheme if it was still part of the EU, is now developing its own system called the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation)…

The one that jumped out was Magical Girl Raising Project, which a younger me might have described as dark and edgy, but me today would call misery porn (it's not actually porn, jus…

I was trying to find a link to it earlier on, but the programme it was on (The Context) doesn't seem to be available on iPlayer, unfortunately.

Note that this article shouldn't necessarily be used as a way to find new things to watch; there are some clangers in there to avoid. I also need to call out Takayama in Gifu prefe…

I should note that John Simpson was being interviewed about this article on BBC News last night and said they had the same policy for the IRA during the Troubles, and had the same …
