A few hours of editing done; it's time to settle down for the Oscars.

@tommydwriter.bsky.social has presented us with our first two courses of the evening: 'Gnocchi Horror Picture Show' and 'The Hunt For Bread October.'

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.

Neil Gaiman is a monster. His statement is idiotic and delusional. Sorry Neil, I donโ€™t think anyone believes that 9 (or 14?) women are lying about you, and itโ€™s cute that you think your โ€œreadersโ€ will stick with you after this. Several of the people you assaulted were your readers.

The BAFTA 2025 nominations are out! There's some good choices in the mix, and a few I don't agree with. These are my initial reactions:

I am shocked that The Substance isn't up for Best Film, but relieved to see it up for Director, Original Screenplay, and Lead Actress (come on, Demi!).

I wake up in the morning.
I sit at my computer.
The internet screams at me that the world is on fire.
I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

There's an entire industry of utterly made-up bullshit being pursued at the other place.

Thousands of monetised retweets for a claim that Labour is banning people debating veganism in pubs.
