The Biker Mice from Mars will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

American Teen Returning From Term In UK Regales Friends With Tale Of Satirical Magazine That’s Funny

I love really unsubtle breakup stories on Instagram. Second one a bit alarming

So many chairs though www.inigo.com/sales-list/s...

I'm still watching and I'm just increasingly mesmerised by how very strange Sarah Paulson's entire performance is. The voice, the faces, the hair. It's like she's dropped out of a different and maybe even worse show, but not American Horror Story.

I fucking love Bluesky

Watching the Stranger Things finale lads

Honestly, I'm waiting for the govt to combine all its instincts and start selling freedom of movement on the basis that "at least they're white".

Why do the BBC (why does anyone) go to the most failed of failed finance ministers for comment? Seriously, what the fuck does he have to offer anyone?

Bliss, new tires

Dammit, all the aircraft are 1:35

Guess who lost a rear tyre to a spectacular pothole?

Once people start Haavara-Agreement-Posting most benefit of the doubt should be withdrawn

Do I know anyone who speaks Cantonese? I'm copy editing something and want to make sure some phrases are accurate and transliterated in a way that makes sense. Can pay you for your time.

This house in Devon is very much In Devon

Now that BlueSky is introducing the new requirement that Americans have to know what they're talking about, we'll be seeing a lot less of their comments.

Having had a day to think through everything about El-Fattah, here's where I stand. Yes, it's possible to believe all of these things at once! In fact, it really shouldn't be that hard.

Today's plans involve no drinking and I hope my body is ready

Christmas lunch II

You will be visited by three spirits

You will be visited by three spirits. By four spirits. Tonight you will be visited by five...six spirits.

Merry Christmas! On my way to the butchers to get the biggest goose in the shop, been saving up all year. I assume nobody else will suddenly purchase it out from under me

A Christmas Eve visitation from an exciting and luxurious new local cat

I think as a Christmas game everyone should watch #AllsFair and try and find something awful that no-one else has mentioned yet. It's a target-rich environment. I'm nominating the decision to have Naomi Watts mostly, but not consistently, use her natural accent.

In the hope that there will be some #BookSky people around in the run-up to Christmas, I am seeking recommendations for the best single volume history of what is normally known as the #Vietnam War. I have read quite a lot on the Secret War in Laos but need more context. Reposts / tags welcome. 🙏

When pugs visit:

I decided it was a perfect watch for this evening and the line "let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!" and Sigourney Weaver's delivery are just perfect, perfect things.

Reminded of the immortal letter from Nöel Coward to Rebecca West when the Nazi round-up-and-execute list for their planned invasion was published, "...my dear, the *people* we'd have been seen dead with".

Tête de Moine, plus special curler thing. Delicious but also fun

Everything's a Christmas movie if you're brave enough

Party outfit tho. Casablanca shirt, Stefano Pilati for Zara jacket, Dries Van Noten jeans, Ferragamo shoes

This morning's outfit an accidental coordinated look I bought the parts of 6 months apart. First time trying together (just to the shops for ice) and I think last time.

The Queen has a tremendous signature; very successful addition of the R late in life

Also includes some frankly vulgar work with paper chains and big pink bows

Party prep includes organising my coat hooks and baseball caps neatly

I'm not saying I would do this, but I can absolutely see how you end up doing this the week before Christmas www.thetimes.com/article/d4e4...

Started watching F1: The Movie and it's not super. I enjoy the incredibly obvious way that they use the commentators for exposition. It's incredibly unsubtle and badly sound mixed. Sounds like a DVD commentary

The further into this article one reads the more misguided this sequel starts to appear. It's practically satire when they start talking about the new love interest The Night Manager is back – and it’s even steamier | The Night Manager | The Guardian share.google/90cB2qrJ8Etk...

“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone about my busy hands. Not so much for myself but because my crap rip-offs of Roald Dahl written by other people are so best-selling it would damage the country to hear about it”

The ultimate is the 1942 Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire vehicle Holiday Inn, which gave the world "White Christmas" but also includes a full song and dance number in blackface and a "Mammy" stereotype housekeeper appearing only in discrete scenes that could be cut easily for Southern audiences.

Siri, was ist WireCard?

I've had a special cheese delivered for my Xmas drinks on Sunday.

The antisemitism on Twitter is viscerally unpleasant and often tinged with violence. The antisemitism on here (see Rachel's replies) is more profoundly and personally depressing.

A lot of you have been asking what I'd like for Christmas and you really mustn't, but if you really feel you have to then one of the super long Saint Laurent black peacoats from FW2024 please. From as little as £4k on Vestiaire. Plus import tax.

Or, MI6 Chief gives speech. Telegraph reports speech in news. Day later, Telegraph fashion editor does short piece on her brooch (an item of jewellery she has mentioned in interviews before). MI6 chief is intrinsically interesting person people will read about! Interesting brooch too!

(the Aristocrats punchline voice): Bluesky!

You know, I'm persuaded: I retract any criticism of Chomsky over his relationship with Epstein and Steve Bannon. I'll just have to go back for thinking he's scum for all the genocide denialism instead.

Seriously camp Christmas decor advances:

Turns out that safeguarding Jewish life in this country depends on safeguarding liberal democracy and pluralism, not expecting assistance from the Radical Right. Who knew!?!

Just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel and a couple of thoughts: A) might be my second favourite post-apocalypse book* and B) very glad I didn't read it in April 2020 when lots of others were. *A Canticle for Leibowitz way out in front at number one
