You should be able to take your dad for an autism assessment on Father’s Day. A bit like how you’d treat your mother to a full body massage, or afternoon tea

Following a CBB tour on the podcast feed is everything I dreamed it would be, I'm so happy. The Calvins Triplets knocked the doors down, and that's before you throw Bean Dip into the mix

Series One may be over, but the fun doesn't stop there! In a two-part special, Riley presents some of the finest moments of the first series of Radio Go!, alongside some behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Listen now at radiogo.show or on your podcast player!

everyone else in the world always says, "new york city will never be a major metropolitan area situated along the eastern seaboard! never!!!" and every morning we wake up and prove them all wrong

Thank you to all brave souls who came to the first Normal Game with me and @avaavavah.bsky.social. And also to our first ever winner @eikebentley.bsky.social! Want to be our second ever winner? The next Normal Game WIP is in Manchester on Sunday 28th: tickets: www.seetickets.com/event/sean-m...

Out of everything I'm excited to see in Widow's Bay S2, the prospect of more Patricia is IT.

another @themountaingoats.bsky.social hot off the presses! when you listen to this one, imagine dark heavy storm clouds looming above you and Matt Douglas fighting them back with every sax blast - because that's what happened. this tape is so deliciously crisp. enjoy! archive.org/details/tMG2...

I tried *writing* some standup today instead of just scribbling down odds and ends and riffing. Managed 800 words; some of it's usable, but I don't know if I'm going to like how it's delivered. I'm very attached to the IDEA of being a riffing standup, but we have to see what my skills lean toward

Had a fabulous time at @seanmorl.com's Normal Game this afternoon, a highly normal experience. I caused controversy by requesting a ruling on whether I was allowed to Google "Danica McKellar".

Smartypants is still spectacular. Yes, I'm a little sad we didn't get to see Trapp in the premiere (or the season 😢) but the hit rate for introducing new talent is unmatched

Love to write professional emails

When Apple TV launched I was first to roll my eyes. "Why are _Apple_ getting into streaming, for fuck's sake?" It brings me great pleasure to say I was wrong as hell, and they're crushing it with everything they release.

BREAKING: "After careful consideration, the BBC, Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf have collectively decided not to go ahead with the previously announced Doctor Who Christmas episode. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Every text I send my friends includes a brief bio of myself in case they forgot

This Sunday in Sheffield I'm doing the first Work In Progress for my new medium-tech quiz gameshow. Sean Morley's Normal Game is the first quiz show where the host has not and will not write any questions. It is an experiment. 2pm Sunday, Alder, Sheffield www.seanmorl.com/normalgame

come for a big vamp-fest episode, stay for how loud @sepinwall.bsky.social laughs when i describe lestat sucking and fucking his way through life

It was very easy to shit on Billy Eichner for a long time, and if he's not your cup of tea I can understand that, but it is worth noting that basically everyone on Instagram is doing an impression of him

. @scottpassarella.bsky.social obviously crushing it as the Dropout Improv pianist, knocking out a sitcom interstitial like it was nothing

Anthony Head - one of the first times I recognised a character actor as such. Just top notch in everything he did, and reputedly a top notch trans ally. RIP.

Episode 20! The end of the first series!

play UFO 50 if you like video games

Every so often Ted Chiang drops back down to Earth to remind us that he's one of the best writers going. I am begging him for a third short story collection.

I played Crows last night. TPK before we even reached the Blood Library, the rerolled character had her horse eaten immediately by blood critters, eventually ended up with an ass's head from magic backlash. Hella good fun!

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

yeah baybee @cbbworld.bsky.social forever

tis better to have love islanded and lost than never to have love islanded at all @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social

Nobody sees the 4:00 am works outs. Nobody sees the hours of meal prepping. Nobody sees the time spent in meditation bettering myself. Nobody sees any of this. Because I don’t do these things.

Make That Movie is going some way to filling the hole in my CBB (TV)-shaped heart. Extremely dumb stuff, big fan

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

ICYMI, @kvanaren.bsky.social and I talked about Star City on this week’s @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Banger interview!

Some editor out there thinks he's so fucking clever

I like how wikipedia could only get a freely licensed photo of the political editor of BBC News by cropping this UK government photo

Colbert has had his dick sucked enough by Bluesky this month, but the Only in Monroe thing is pretty hysterical. Facetiming Byron Allen was the cherry on top

Why do we say someone appeared "in" a TV show but "on" an album?

Commander's Herald is hit and miss at the best of times but this got a real laugh out of me.

WtMG returns to Discord tonight! Join us to listen along to a classic Mountain Goats tape and play some Jackbox games with the community! The show starts at 7pm EDT, or a little under five hours from now. Join us here: discord.gg/Hjmj2eAs?eve...

Hacks went by so fast this week - the theme playing over the credits was stunning. Love this show

It's a good show, Brent! Alan's been my TV guy since his HitFix days, so it was a no brainer that I'm going to listen. You should too.

"Kids can't get enough of them. They're called Beanie Babies." "Beanie Babies" "Beanie Babies" "Beanie Babies" "それらは「bīnī beibīzu」と呼ばれています" "Beanie—“ "Beanie—“ "Beanie—“ "BEANIE BABIES"

The latest Game Changer made me think of the Standards & Practices segment @chrisgethard.bsky.social did so brilliantly on his show: youtu.be/TfhvQRjpGqo?...

If you like jokes and stuff you should be subscribed to CBB World anyway, but this is a pretty banger deal on top of that

It’s @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social premiere day! In our first full episode, @kvanaren.bsky.social & I look ahead to Apple's new Tatiana Maslany show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, then revisit a classic Moms Do Crimes comedy, Weeds:

hey john. its your cousin marvin. marvin cage! you know that new sound youve been looking for? well listen to this *hangs up phone*

the best one of all time

i must not die. death is the me killer. death is the big death that brings actual obliteration. i avoid my death. i don't want it to come anywhere near me. when it has gone past, i will say "phew". for where death has gone, there will be nothing, only a skeleton will remain.

New Mountain Goats music to come!!!
