Take care, Jason. Hope you get some sleep soon.

I have to admit, I don't think I've seen that before.

Hadn't heard of this painting!

That's from Brooklyn 9-9.

Some years back, there was an exhibition of his collection (and some of the costumes from his films) in Toronto. The Wrightson pics were in it. My partner and I crossed the Atlantic to see it. Completely worth it.

@realgdt.bsky.social owns some of the originals of the Wrightson artwork.

Tom's Dad stories are reliably excellent, and this one comes with added amphibian.

There should be a button on the tummy somewhere. Wear gloves.

There was no sex involved with Edward's creation - it could be a comment on that. Or maybe Tim Burton's just weird about sex.

Watching Edward Scissorhands right now, and the thing that's really sticking out for me is how terrified this film is of sex.

They came last in Caerphilly last year, and yesterday was the first time they'd stood for the Sennedd there - they only got 500-odd votes, which is down on the general. Likely lost some votes to keep-out-reform tactics.

The coverage was pretty ambiguous - I did have to check!

I'm not arguing with this poster's conclusion because it's obviously right, but this "over a century" point has been bugging me since yesterday. This was a Sennedd election, and the Sennedd was formed in 1998. Labour hasn't lost the parliamentary seat. Based on yesterday, it probably would.

...and then they elected him as President.

I strongly suspect worse.

Have to say it does not *sound* good.

Thanks for digging that out. I was intrigued, as I know that bit of coast quite well and have been in that church (although not seen the plaque).

Who've you cursed this time? Joe Marler?1

Somebody hit the Downing St policy unit over the head with this repeatedly.

I wonder why she took her mother's surname rather than her father's?

Farage’s big weakness, as I’ve often written, is that 60%+ of voters don’t want him to become Prime Minister.

For a populist he’s not that popular. www.newstatesman.com/politics/mor...

@thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social is getting close, and some of the folks who have asked us to act as a shipping address for the books they're bringing Thought Bubble have started sending us stuff. So far so good! But it's not too late - if you're exhibiting at TBubs and we can help, just message us!

Quite the thing. The choir was particularly amazing

Saw that a few years ago with an orchestra and choir doing the soundtrack live.

That's a great cover.

Do you go through a lot of throat lozenges?

Jonn is, of course, quite correct.

I always salt the water when I boil new potatoes, then think, "Why did I do that?"

I wouldn't have thought the dashi flavour would get through the skin. Am I wrong?

Sharia courts rule on religious disputes. What "basic British values" does Racist Bob think that violates?
