Like over here (or in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland at least), you don't even need to pay for prescriptions.

The idea that you could be bankrupted because you took ill... I can't imagine how fucking frightening a life that is.

I was well into my twenties before I learned that if an American has a health emergency that requires an ambulance, they have to pay for it, and that's still one of the most insane, bewildering things I've ever heard in my life.

People are laughing "*he* wants to pay *us* for medicine?", but this'd be a great idea.

The American people deserve to be reimbursed for being subjected to an extortionate healthcare system for so long.

I don't think he'd even been in anything since The Straight Story when he got the call to go back to Twin Peaks.

I was glad they managed to get him out of retirement for the 2017 Twin Peaks season.

Obviously aged in the face, but still looked the same physically as well (as far as can be told from the flannel shirts etc anyway)

Apparently they landed this film together because Craven loved them together in Twin Peaks.

Also I think shortly after that the Sci-Fi channel started doing repeats of Twin Peaks and I tried watching it because I'd heard it was weird, but was too young to really 'get it' back then.

Congratulations AI, you've given us that one Garfield panel.

THIIIIIIIIIS CIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITYYYYYYYYYY

Fat Tony talks to Marge at the door of the Simpsons' house, with Homer lurking inside. from the Simpsons episode The Twisted World of Marge Simpson

you see, my wife, she has been most vocal on the subject of the protomen act iii. "where is act iii?" "when are you adding the next songs from act iii?" "why aren't you releasing the rest of act iii now?" and so on.

My reminder to poke and prod @samreich.bsky.social until he puts John Robertson on that show.

(Sam, I know you've seen John, and even guested on one of his Dark Room shows! You know damn well @robbotron.bsky.social would be a PERFECT fit for that show!)

Totally. He was already a singer, auditioned for the movie and got it. Apparently also learned guitar specifically for the role.

Absolutely insane that that film is Miles Caton (who plays Sammie) making his acting DEBUT.

The comparison I made once is that if the internet was a human body, and the sum of human knowledge and experience is what it consumes for sustenance, then generative AI is the literal shit that comes out the other end.

And you shouldn't consume shit! But some people just won't be told, I guess.

"OK team, we have a striking, instantly recognisable logo that we've used for years - for some reason, this is a problem that we need to address."

If anyone is, like me, upset that HBO Max is showing ICE ads during AEW, here's a feedback form to fill out to let them know to cut that shit out!

Poster advertising VIVA SPW, Super Pro Wrestle's anniversary show. In an empty arena, Holly Rood stands on the entrance way, close to the ring, facing off against Emilio Canguelo, who is in the ring. Up the left hand side are images of John Robertson, Jen Steel, Lance Maverick, Mark Ansonii, Holly Rood, and Rosy Bon-Bons. These images are taken from the WWE 2K series, in acknowledgement of Super Pro Wrestle's origins which took place on bad, smelly games that will break your console if you give them half the chance. On the right are similar images, these taken from Fire Pro Wrestling World where Super Pro Wrestle takes place now. Shown are Mark Ansonii, Debay De Lux, Rosy Bon-Bons, Steven Morgan & Jen Steel (collectively known as Banger Machines), Afrodite Jackson, Summer Venus & Barbara Bell (collectively known as Big Naturals), Holly Rood, and Firehawk Sentarl. In the center is the VIVA SPW logo, above that is the Super Pro Wrestle logo. Written on the ring apron is "Celebrating 9 years of Super Pro Wrestle". Written at the top is the date and link - Sunday, October 5th, and twitch.tv/gingerpimpernel

To update: though the anniversary is tomorrow, the anniversary show - VIVA SPW - has been moved to Sunday.

Celebrating the past, present and future of Super Pro Wrestle.

Come hither!

And when she *does* have them maintained, they literally have to shut the street down, screwing up traffic. People are late for work, kids are late for school.

Just an arsehole on every level you can conceive of.

Her current property in Edinburgh is surrounded by Leylandii trees that grow absurdly fast. She has them maintained once a year - if even that - meaning most of the time they obscure the surrounding streetlights.

Very literally making the streets less safe to walk for women (or anyone else).

Pushing this back til Sunday.

Sure, Sunday isn't the actual anniversary, but it gives me more time to get stuff ready.

See you there!

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Just home from The Spirit Lamp, as always, @chrystabell.bsky.social is an incredible live performer.

I was in no way emotionally prepared for that closer.

Enjoy NXT tonight everyone

There's a reason my go-to joke when I see or hear something dated is "2002 is BACK, baby"

Thinking about the bit where Jake in Brooklyn 9-9 tries to rap about the Addams Family, and how similar the flow is to the middle of 'Rapture' by Blondie.
