The top row of the Peanuts Sunday strip was called the 'throw-away panel'. If there wasn't enough space in the comic section that syndicated it, the top row could be removed and the rest of the comic would still make sense without it. Schulz often used the throw-away panel for private/obscure jokes.

My fondness for the Tron franchise is mainly due to the arcade game I encountered as a kid that would give you an electric shock. (I don’t believe it was actually supposed to do that.)

Yeah.

Addison Rae recently walked in on me at work while I was stuffing my face with a runny scotch egg. This is a genuinely true story that actually happened.

Important beans update.

Dismissing young problem and what they enjoy just makes you look old.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun. joelmorris.substack.com/p/where-nobo...

Mood.

There’s something about the chord progression of Chappell Roan’s The Subway that has it morphing into Robbie Williams’s Angels in my head. The weird thing is I’m not mad about it. Maybe the years of derision at hearing it at the end of depressing club nights has finally worn off.

CALL ME MAYBE

seven-year-old: “who’s voice is that” me: “Bob Dylan” 7yo: “is that yr friend” me: “no a singer” 7yo: “not a very good singer”

I'm gonna getcha

I’m fine, I’m fine. Just watching my emotional support Bluey episodes. By myself.

I feel like the public is crying out for a fat, ginger, middle-aged Bond. I humbly offer my services.

It'd be funny if the rapture happened, but humans are all so awful that no one actually gets taken so we don't notice.

The Rapture? In 2025? Is this an Indie Sleaze thing? (House of Jealous Lovers still slaps though.)

Desperate to know the story behind this, from my local Tesco…

Announcing my new think tank

A solid 25 years after reading the novel and watching the movie, I’ve just realised that the title, High Fidelity, is a pun. I have an English Studies degree.

"Okay, so who had a starter?"

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

iffff anyone is looking for bar cover or whatever then I am very [LinkedIn voice] ✨open to work✨ this week and indeed next week. I am very good at pints and things like that, can talk about beer, work my absolute arse off etc

I was only saying to my wife this afternoon that we are blessed with having witnessed every generation of home computer and console. My son simply could not conceive of the Dragon 32.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

How do you answer your phone?

I say "23 Skidoo" far too frequently, and have compared it to the pre-eminent slang phrase from my son's generation: "Skibidi toilet". In this essay I will, etc, etc.

Enjoying a slightly longer walk to work this morning.

Just realised we're as far from The Simpsons Movie (2007) as that was from the actual start of The Simpsons (1989). That seems... wrong.

Oh, that’s very good.

I made this fantastically terrible spatula in woodwork class about 35 years ago. It’s both deeply touching and slightly concerning that my mum still uses it now.

The finest response I've seen so far.

MEAL DEAL

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam

Really devastating news. The Bookseller Crow was a huge part of our old life in Crystal Palace and Jonathan was a local institution. Thoughts and condolences to his friends and family @booksellercrow.bsky.social

You want to talk about Britishness? Here is Ncuti Gatwa being quintessentially British. This is a masterclass. He’s a national treasure.

Wow, they really hate this one, don’t they?

When my little boy tries tell me about the backrooms.

My “The day Diana died” story was that I was working behind the counter in a newsagent. Many people only found out when they came in and saw the papers. Then they blamed the papers for her death. Then they bought a paper. I think about that a lot.
