It's 18° in #Newcastle today, and most people are in jackets and jumpers... I don't think I understand humanity

I am very much enjoying #Severance at the moment, very excited for the finale. I have only one complaint, and it shares this with Relevant and Equivalence. I can't write it without having an existential crisis over what 'e' and 'a' really are

I really enjoy people adding "for my sins" to the end of sentences you wouldn't think need it

I often make the less vs fewer mistake. If our universe is inherently quantum, does that mean I can drop less entirely?

While playing #Balatro, I'm apparently incapable of playing any deck that isn't the Plasma Deck... The numbers are the most fun

On today's episode of idioms I don't understand: It's always darkest before the dawn.

It only works if you define dawn as when it starts getting lighter again... in which case it's just a dull tautology.

April Fool’s Medicine – The Old Operating Theatre

On April 1st I'm bringing something new to @oldoptheatre.bsky.social with @teamlondonbridge.bsky.social . Comedians, storytellers and museum curators making up lies about the history of medicine. Everything will be incorrect, made-up and funny. oldoperatingtheatre.com/event-posts/...

Unproductive rant: Anyone else plagued by the T.R.I.P. national highways adverts? Is it just me who finds it infuriating? It doesn't work as an acrostic. The 'I' is for inspect tyre pressure and tread. P and T are already taken, and P is prepare for weather, so should be W. Is it useful to anyone?!

I recently watched #Nosferatu (2024). There were lots of good performances, and lots of cool shots. But I was... bored by the story. I haven't seen the original. Did I miss something? I'd love to hear from people that loved it.

An amazing event, organised by incredible people! Comedy, statistics, northerners, what more could you want? Good people of #manchester, get your tickets now

Sorry I’m busy all day, I have a phone call scheduled at 4pm.

i want to be exactly rich enough to buy a spacious, perfectly organized kitchen, where i’m not forced to stack all my pots and pans in a psychologically unmanageable way. and no richer

Me: I call a spade a spade.
World of Spades Employee: But what kind?!
Me: A spade!

Attended a funeral this morning. For a family member in their 80s. Listening to the story of their life, sounds like they were ND in a society that didn't allow that. So much misery and intergenerational trauma that could have been lessened. I know there's a long way to go, but we are getting there

the wheel of fortune in balatro is possibly the best evidence available (outside of actual gambling) that our brains did not evolve to comprehend probability

Portal. I'd also probably need to forget a lot of the games that have come since, but it was mind-blowing at the time

Making animated movies into live action: tiresome, unnecessary, lame

Re-making every classic film into a muppet movie with a single human actor: sophisticated, erudite, revolutionary

I really wanna watch more Robert Downey Jr. movies, he's one of my favorite actors!
I welcome any and all recommendations!

Thank you! I shall check it out

Always know it's gonna snow because my knee starts to ache and my eyes become large and the light that you shine can't be seen

I absolutely love #TedLasso and #Shinking. I have rewatched them as much as is safe to do without losing the joy. I am in need of something similar to watch. A safe heartwarming comedy-drama. Any recommendations please?

Why is it that the higher the number you set your fridge to, the lower the temperature?! Surely you could just have temperatures going the other way...

'There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life'.

We can't believe it's been exactly 16 years since our atheist bus campaign, which started #OnThisDay 2009.

It’s not called hoarding if it’s #boardgames, right? I mean you call it a boardgame collection. It’s irrelevant if most of them have never been played, right?

Forgive my cold take. It's snowing and, at least on a day where I don't have to travel, that's very pleasant.

The first Bee Network service pulls out of a snowy Altrincham Interchange early this morning.

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it!

After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole its bus network. 🙌🏻
