Remember that point in the year when #DoctorWho had a solid 6 episode run of top tier episodes and we all thought that the curse was lifted?

I miss those weeks.

As American as Apple Pie

Janine. He’s not setting a trap.

Pretty piss poor President if he’s only JUST found out something that everybody in the world has known forever.

You cannot reverse your biological age.

What is it with all of these people who starred in “The Handmaid’s Tale” thinking that the point was that the Handmaids were a good thing?

Chris Martin has responded by saying: “I never meant to cause you trouble, I never meant to do you wrong. If I ever caused you trouble, I never meant to do you harm.”

Fleeing a crime scene and leaving the country when you need to be questioned is a crime.

🤦‍♂️ Some of the best jokes are rooted in tragedy, heartache, loss and despair. This is also pretty much Marc Maron’s shtick.

Also, given how tight Taylor Swift and her team are about signing off hope and when music can be used, I’d imagine this was something that was approved with informed consent.

Why are these plonkers on Sky News wearing a hat that says “Make Epstein Great Again”?

My god. I’m slightly concerned about people’s understanding of cooking. There is a difference between functional cooking and presentation cooking.

There’s also a freezer. Even with that…their maths don’t add up (this was not trolling)

(I say this as someone who is not generally a fan of self-service checkouts)

There was no need to even interact with the staff there. You’re just a racist, and you’ve covertly recorded some people without their consent. That is what needs confronting.

Also. Without The Road to Perdition on the list, it’s not a valid list.

I’d argue that cosmetic surgery is cosmetic, and going to the gym is performative. As one requires cosmetics and the other requires performance.

Ah dash. You’ve already been. And to Edinburgh none the less.

Hi @benaaronovitch.bsky.social. Was looking at your website for the book tour of your new book (Stone & Sky) managed to pick up a signed copy a couple of weeks ago.

Was wondering if you’d be coming to Scotland at all as part of the tour?

I’m pretty sure people lashed out at Emily Armstrong because she’s a Scientologist and supported a person who was being tried (later convicted) of sexual assault against women.

She only later stated that this support was only brief; and claimed to only be a causal member of Scientology.

Oh. I’ve only watched the first episode so far. I’ll watch out for it.

For the first time in about 20 years, I think I’m going to give Blue Peter a watch.

Best casting decision in any programme in a very fecking long time.

Greatest song of the last decade

@esjesjesj.bsky.social new meme unlocked:

Whilst I agree with the point. Early morning fights call for an awesome full cooked breakfast.

I think we can all agree, even Nicholas Hoult, that Michael Rosenbaum is the definitive Lex Luthor.

Endgame isn’t a bad movie. But it’s not The Dark Knight.

Endgame is Back to the Future

I went 5 times to see The Dark Knight. I’ve watched End Game once.

The Dark Knight has a whole period of about 40 minutes where Batman doesn’t even appear, and it’s still cinematic perfection.

FFS

There hasn’t been a super hero movie better than The Dark Knight.

Anybody who thinks Toxic Masculinity is a new concept, listened to The Human League - Don’t You Want Me and thought it was a love song

There was a protest in Edinburgh yesterday. I saw it from the pub. But I think this one is Glasgow.
