A side-thought in real-life Subbuteo before a conversation about content moderation online and human beings filming and photographing stuff and putting it online. (Oh, and a bit about trains in the UK).
Some other details from the episode: Simon's prior understanding of England: Match of the Day, Subbuteo, and the FA Cup; Lee's laugh (again); fish and chips; fish and chips with puffins, uncontrolled ascents in scuba diving, hyperbaric chambers, Malta conference 2020 collapsing due to COVID, neutral buoyancy, the bends, Radiohead, The Cleaners, Field of Vision (The Moderators), online content moderation, PTS, cameras in our pockets attached to a world wide web, being big daft animals, traffic jams, braking causes traffic jams, the two-second rule, bus replacement service, privatisation, how shit trains have become in the UK, Lee's electric vehicle's collision sensitivity, EV batteries, intemperate braking, back to traffic jams, chaos theory (and butterflies), the difference between watching things and filming things, stepping on Jeff's toes, Simon first built his website (skellis.net) in 1997, the internet's time of innocence.
