“Concentration of media” was pretty much invented by Doctor Who fandom.

Chimpanzee lady making me cry at my desk on a Sunday morning was not on my to-do list, but here we are.

Thank you, Doctor Goodall. ❤️

Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

I didn’t buy The Anatomy Lesson but eventually my town got a comics shop and I got the Demon story and worked back… all because that “clearing the decks” issue no one regards as much was to my mind, a brilliant comic. I loved your breakdown of how it came together and how miraculous that was!

I remember reading this on your blog nearly 20 years ago and loving it. For my 14th birthday my Aunt gave me a bunch of comics including this one. All I knew about Swamp Thing was the paperback reprint of Wein/Wrightson stories when the movie came out. But I was blown away by Loose Ends.

Detective Comics #476 (1978). On the cover, Batman is standing over several dead bodies. Both he and the bodies have Joker smiles. "The Sign of the Joker."

Batman’s aff his nut Have you seen the way he cuts aboot Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat Batterin guys I was lit at: “Mate, I’m worried aboot ye I know your ma and da died But everybody’s ma and da dies And we’re no aw runnin aboot Hookin muggers and Kickin psychopaths in the baws.” And that was when Batman went “Aye, but do ye ever feel like it? Do you ever look at the world and feel like it? Like having a big mad base under your hoose? Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor that turns intae a tank? And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night? Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?” And that’s when I was lit at: “Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae.” And that’s the Secret Origin of Robin And everyone else.

And this is Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence, which, in my opinion, is easily the greatest Scottish poem ever written about Batman...

I think the only Downton I've ever seen were the other two films which I took my Dad to see (he's a fan). I just did it for my Dad. I have little recollection of it beyond admiring the costumes and Michele Dockery.

The Warner Bros YouTube channel posted this today, so kudos to them: the entire one shot from All The President’s Men of Robert Redford on the phone investigating Dahlberg. Screws up the last line, stays in character and recovers. Brilliant. https://youtu.be/UmLNzZsEgA4?si=AY8-0wJOdBGsxN7T&t=196

I have found it great when I give it a single sentence (no more than 2-3) and tell it to simplify it. I would never give it a whole document— it doesn’t have the memory or the sophistication and you have to correct even more. But individual sentences are perfect.

@riverwardriley.bsky.social I've been biking to work downtown this summer. Today I took transit in.
- New bus routes are so infrequent it was faster to make a 30 minute walk to South Keys
- The line 1 and 2 trains are packed
- Bayview station had no escalators or elevators
Is there any help coming?

Oof. Rolling Stone dot com about to find out how many people were mostly subscribing for Alan Sepinwall.

My thanks to so many of you on BlueSky who supported the Kickstarter for my new podcast The Comics Code. You’re all wonderful!

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

I like when you register for a website and then it takes you to a login page instead of just signing you in. That’s right, good point, I might not have wanted to log in right now. Maybe I signed up today so I could log in sometime, some other day.

*A white Christian nationalist is murdered by a white Christian nationalist who hates him because he does not go far enough with his white Christian nationalism*

The thing that caused this is liberal universities

There’s a parallel universe where Men of a Certain Age won Emmys for Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula and everyone suddenly realized Ray Romano is a fantastic dramatic actor. And it lasted at least four seasons.

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

Well, thanks again Phil.

(Seriously, Bill was in all but a couple of episodes of Reality Bomb. He's an amazing fellow.)

Some person whom I think I might have met somewhere supported my podcast.
Thank you so much, Bob!

I’ve listened to the first episode and it’s fabulous. It’s The Rest Is History but about TV. I’m so there for this.

Can confirm all of the above. And it’s delightfully creepy.
