Everything is broken: Olympics edition I've decided it's time to nationalise sport. A wild stance for me to take, really – me! an avowed theatre kid! For most of my life I've been made furious by the prioritisation of sports over the…

I want to nationalise sports, thank you for your time

Thinking of how incandescent with rage my dead friends would be about this

I must insist you watch: Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching (free on YouTube) About a month ago I declared that One Battle After Another was the best film of 2025 and it wasn't even close. I now know that assessment to be flawed. Because now I've watched Listers: A Glimpse…

I watched Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching (free on YouTube) and I really think you should also watch Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching (free on YouTube)

Peak valentimes: just saw a guy out for a run with a massive bunch of roses in one hand

The second time was at least partially because of AI so they’ve really got to take that as a consequence of all their tomfoolery wrt AI

Important to note that the first time I was on benefits was because my British partner lost all his work during covid and you have to claim as a household, so even though I was still working I was on the claim

((Even though I have been on benefits and had tax debt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯))

(I know I’m not the kind of immigrant he means)

Ok yes but see I was *decolonising* New Zealand, so

Just because a particular audience is voracious, that doesn’t mean they’re not discerning. Death to ai, obviously, but in this case that is a subset of death to snobbery about romance

You see this in extremely short production timelines, in artists who phone it in as if they’re too good for it. But if you actually respect your audience, if you actually understand why people love these stories - that’s when you get something great. And the audience deserves something great

Romance readers are voracious. They read an enormous amount and they’re always looking for more - that passion has made some people view the genre as disposable. As something you can churn out without thought because you expect the audience to take anything they can get

The success of Heated Rivalry shows how hungry people are for romance to be taken seriously by its creators. Everyone involved saw that story as worthy of their time and their skills and it shows and that’s why it’s so popular!

Currently watching Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching (free on YouTube) and extremely recommend you also watch Listers: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching (free on YouTube)

Epstein is a symptom No one deposes a king because of their belief in democracy. They do it because the king has used his power to harm people. History is a cyclical thing, and one of the key cycles is this: a given…

It sure is!

I want Oscar campaigns to include a Muppet Show appearance. I want the Heated Rivalry boys on there STAT. We need it, we deserve it

God I hope this Muppet Show works and they come back properly. End all internet based movie promotion and make them all go on this instead

He shat himself in public, this is all I know

Look I’ve been wanting him to shit himself to death in public so I guess sometimes you get half of what you want

Infuriating really that I do have no kids but I still don’t have three money

Truly! Are we not all exhausted enough as it is!

I think about this all the time, honestly people interpreting every article they come across as if they’re the target audience further evidence of widespread lack of reading comprehension skills, my personal “why the world is like this” bugbear

Tfw you got your best ideas by stealing from anime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly I’d have more respect for that
