Also - deep thought!!! Do you see what we did there!

It becomes incoherent. Assisted further by MAGA/Republican unhappiness with Trump dancing to Moscow’s tune over Ukraine, his duplicity over Epstein etc. It’s beginning to fall apart, as it was always destined to.

And if you go back a trillion minutes, that’s close to two million years. The first Mammoths, sabre toothed cats, very early humans.

I’d very much like to see Musk consumed by a sabre toothed cat.

Arthur Dent from ‘The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy’ as played by Simon Jones in a plaid dressing gown.

Same as the best dressing gowns.

Fascinating!

The film that had my twin sons , on the strength of its meme value in the 2010s, making themselves Cubanos.

I deeply love Ian Watson’s batshittery.

It’s not started yet - as many people on here have pointed out.

I’ve suspected as much.

Incredible!

And the billions of dollars continue to pour into this. Brace yourselves.

Not only does that idiot need holding to account when the dust settles, but also the idiots and the idiot-in-chief who put him there.

As it was characterised on an episode of QI, ‘lakes of farts’.

What’s worse, is they they apparently used deepfake tech to get it down to a PG-13, to do reshoots of the actors faces to change them from say ‘fuck’ to saying ‘freaking’.

I enjoyed it when I saw it (on TV), but the more I learn the more I’m thinking ‘to heck with this freaking film’.

Actually, looks like I’m wrong. Mea Culpa!

It was relatively low budget ($3M), but seems it WAS filmed for IMAX! Which makes the dodgy CG even funnier!

Pointing finger over the word ‘No’

Palmer from ‘The Thing’

The U.S. has dug itself such a deep hole right now. Who knows how long before they can undo the self-inflicted damage, or if they even can.

You’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding!

The relationship I do have is with the practice nurse who does my annual diabetes checkup, who is lovely, friendly, supportive and always inspires confidence.

Yep! Shoutout to Bracondale Medical Practice in Stockport. Not a shiny, modern concern by any measure, but servicewise they’re knocking it out of the park. Cannot fault them.

Got my son’s ADHD diagnosis sorted pretty darn quick too (relatively). He was messed about badly when he was in Lincoln.

Stink-O-Vision scratch’n’sniff card for the film ‘Dead Lover’, containing such delights as ‘Grave Digger’, ‘Opium’, ‘Ghost Puke’ and ‘Kill Shot’.

Scratch ‘n’ Sniff cinema is the future!
This thing absolutely stinks, and I’m concerned it’s going to contaminate my messenger bag before I can get it home and get it safely in a ziplock bag.

I’m pretty sure its tiny budget didn’t accommodate IMAX cameras. And despite them building the top of the tower, there’s still plenty of dodgy CG.

Same age too! Just three months older than Udo Kier. ☹️

Same age too!

Torquemada from 2000ad’s Nemesis The Warlock saying ‘Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!’

I’m on a train from London to Manchester catching up on my backlog of @2000ad.bsky.social, and the many announcements utilising the ‘See it, Say it, Sorted!’ slogan are giving me ‘Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!’ vibes.

I think that’s part of the point. It’s not generally awarded to those who are at the coal face.

But then it’s an award, they’re all skewed. How often can it be said that the Oscar for best film *really* represents the best film?

Awards are great for promoting art but terrible as a consumer guide.
