So sorry, all the best to you and Julie

Forgot the alt text. The alt text is "vintage photos of different types of people next to different types of dog, the last of which is exactly the kind of thing you'd find on a third tier britpop band album cover circa 1993"

happy to announce I've found a new ephemera collecting niche for 2026

grinning wonky dog

More unrealistic AI slop

I'm mainly just bitter at my lack of life-model royalties

A GCSE in "how to argue with that one really annoying development guy who is adamant that Arthur's character arc is over as soon as he gets in the sleigh and who also doesn't understand jokes of any type" would definitely be useful

A wonky dog in a bed, looking like some kind of creature workshop creation

What a face to wake up to

Bonus tie-in with Boots' No7 beauty creams. Which can be the new favourite drink Tron Bond likes to order, why not.

His new catchphrase would now be "the name's Bond, Tron Bond. From the computer". You could do a nice bit of graphic design on the poster with the 'On' that is in both Bond and Tron

Didn't mean to type beloved twice there but I guess it just emphasises how beloved he is

Obvious solution to the But Bond Died problem: what if Bond is now also Tron from the computer and now he's played by beloved beloved character actor Jared Leto

No, I assume all those missed millions have been donated to sick kiddies or some bullshit like that :(

I finally signed up to PLR two decades after first intending to do it and was worried that the payments would be enough to make me really regret being so slack but today has very much set my mind at rest

Oh, fair enough, I assume it's for Malala who probably justified a bit of airport panto

Ludicrous security pat-down at the RFH, is something happening on the southbank or is this your standard Everyone Has A Two Day Flap After An Incident a Hundred Miles Away

There used to be a buoy with some seaweed on it in the Thames near Vauxhall that looked a bit like Terry Nutkins and whenever I walked past it I would say "hello Terry Nutkins"

Oh god now I really want to see you welling up on the Repair Shop after they pull away a bit of cloth to reveal stoved in baby's newly unstoved face

An old photo of a good dog

Repeat orders of said photo available from a company called "Barkers"

Ephemera update

Yeah, I'm not knocking it, especially Murray, but sometimes you want some juryo too

Alternatively for the more committed/self employed there's Midnight Sumo's full 8 hour-a-day Livestream on twitch & YouTube

Can't believe you got to see his actual knees.

Does the shop sell any Ura plushies?

Good enough for McGoohan good enough for you

I assumed this was on as a Robert Redford tribute then laughed when it perversely turned out to be the absolutely terrible 2000 version (not that there are any good The Great Gatsby films because it's The Great Gatsby, obvs)

Aside from everything else in this I enjoy how the endlessly looping ringtone makes it sound exactly like the evil corporate video from Michael Clayton

I don't have any opinions on The Guest (tv series) because I've not seen The Guest (tv series) but The Guest (2014) with him from Downton Abbey and her from It Follows is a fun slightly stupid B-Movie hope this helps

Maybe we need to sit all the tech journalists down in front of The Arrival Of A Train At La Ciotat Station and see if they start screaming

Actually there's a thriving discourse, this is from just a few days ago, maybe do your research before rushing to judgement

Theories: the guy was doing a weird, very low energy troll. He's got some kind of aphasia that only affects loudspeaker announcements not normal interaction. I've got some kind of aphasia that makes unintelligible speech seem intelligible. None of this explains the "ancient" carriage, obvs.
