And lo, everyone behaved and was enraptured for nearly 3 hours!

Amazing to see the cinema this busy for The Odyssey just hoping now everyone behaves!

gotta say I find the framing of this stuff really tedious. "ooh the right wing are going to hate this!!!" who the fuck cares, stop talking about them and their stupid opinions

OMG a Titanic book from Hallie Rubenhold...when that pre-order button goes live I'll be right there!

Good stuff CiW.

The day is always won if this happens or if it comes in to land and flies over your head

Me neither, me and my love for "The Room Where It Happened" will never be separated and if it ever tours again tickets will be obtained!

Absolutely gutted

re-upping this thread on the wonder of jurassic park because the great sam neill has left us an incomparable actor who truly understood the magic of cinema thanks, sam, for sharing that magic with all of us

Not getting the whole 'Politician consistently voted against abortions and LGBTQ issues but they were *lovely* to their gay friends, of whom they had many' thing.

Can't wait for this!

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Thanks Gabino! My queer dystopian horror novella This is How the World Ends is available for preorder now! amzn.eu/d/08ZkHeHc Fuelled by queer rage, it’s a wild, multi-narrative ride through the last days of humanity and what comes after. For fans of Chain-Gang All Stars and Hell Followed With Us.

A *brief* plug to say Pagans is in Waterstones' Bestselling Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror at £7.99 instead of £9.99, so you know, do with this information what you will, etc.

Wasn't just not taking packed lunches now was it? Buried much further in all of these articles is that they were well paid too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A spoon and a fork that somehow ended up in my cutlery collection decades ago that my parents got when they got married in 1976. We've also got a bath mat that I swear is approaching 30 years old.

Waiting for it to inevitably happen on prime video too one day.

I shouldn't be allowed in charity shops unaccompanied, I never come out empty handed and my eBay purchases have gone through the roof these last few years.

In case Will Hayward wasn't already a legend for the work he's doing to highlight Wales and what our politicians need to do for us, he also has a tortoise.

Tesco is extending its Kids Eat Free scheme to 7 days a week over the summer, where children get a free meal with an adult purchase, but honestly, this detail about how small the adult purchase can be broke my heart.

Just had a FIBI moment with @popsiwinkle.bsky.social and now we're going to Menorca for 3 nights in August.

This draft Bill has been a very long time coming. A huge thank you to Equalities Minister Olivia Bailey for getting it to this stage. We look forward to engaging constructively with Government to make sure it is strong, trans-inclusive, and free from loopholes. humanists.uk/2026/06/25/a...

Well thats disappointing.

Not everyone who voted for Brexit is racist but they for damn sure were ok with it being part of the landscape.

One day they’re gonna bring that damn podium out and inform us that Larry has died and there will be people wailing in the streets. I will be one of them

CEOs and governments going all-in on heat-emitting AI data centres around the globe while laying off workers during the climate crisis is some real “call the Avengers” stuff. But there are no Avengers.

Some comics and art I remember from right after the vote.

a good summary of why it's good riddance to Starmer who has been one of the most disappointing politicians of my lifetime. Right up there with Nick Clegg. bylinetimes.com/2026/06/22/k...

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

Shout out to the Scots showing the lovely Americans what alcohol, travel insurance, and socialised health care waiting at home can achieve. "Big historical horsecunt was pure beggin' for a conin'", noted one onlooker.

If this isn't just a blank notebook we riot.

As someone who has a friend currently going through the process to be able to adopt, this case fills me with horror. Despite every safeguard that is put in place (and there's a lot), this can still happen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

Sharing this again because everyone knows @stephengrahamjones.com as a horror author but, more accurately, he's an author who writes across, between & outside genres. And flash fiction is his secret weapon, "a little aperture through which, if you put your eye to it, you can see a whole universe."

Woop, as we say in Dumnonia, Here 'Tis

Hot on the heels of the announcement of the sequel, DEAD GODS, a huge congratulations to James Alistair Henry on the nomination of PAGANS for the prestigious #SidewiseAwards!

Petition alert: I know there's lots of them but this one needs to get to 100,000 by the end of the month My good friend Nansi asked me to do a video to help raise awareness that widows used to get 18 years of support but now it's cut to 18 months Please sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...
