I am disappointed that the podcast did not appear to consider On The Town, which has a WHOLE SUBPLOT about Miss Subway. (Also, if anyone says the best movie about the Underground is Sliding Doors, they will be BLOCKED IMMEDIATELY.)

Thanks very much to Steven for letting my Americaness out to discuss the American Song Contest. Sisqo's Up deserved so much better.

Balvinder about to become the #Strictly equivalent of a Lip Sync Assassin #scd

Did Strictly run out of pop girlies to promote albums? Was the new John Cage/Charli XCX track too edgy for light entertainment?

I just do not know how they're going to fashion poor George a convincing Winner's Journey from the material he's giving them. It feels like watching a mathematical abstraction win a TV show that is vaguely inconveniencing it. #scd #strictly

Please stop give George the best songs thank you

KAZLOS DOING CARMINA BURANA PASO? Hook it into my veins #scd #strictly

@ariadnereviews.bsky.social is an absolute diamond bsky.app/profile/aria...

terrified that this is my new vocal stim. #scd #strictly

Please someone make a gif of Johannes dropping that paper and drawling “Your husband is coming” #scd #strictly

Please follow the judges because they too are begging of La Voix to go to Blackpool. The entire show is designed for La Voix to go to Blackpool! #scd

Love La Voix doing the Amber vulva spin from last week

YES COSTUME REVEAL #scd

Turn on some lights I can’t see them dancing #scd

I don’t feel like Lewis rates Loreen, somehow….

And this is how I learn Americans pronounce encephalitis differently

Kazlos 4 ever <3 #scd

but some of us WANT brittle and spite in our ballroom, Anton

I just wish Vicky were wearing shoes that matched her electric yellow dress instead of bland nude illusion biscuits #scd

I feel like the NHS should give out hugs from Johannes Radebe on prescription

"Two tiny parts" - they're called nipples, Shirley #Strictly

Every single dance looks so different? It’s NIKITA being NIKITA

MISSION GET LA VOIX TO BLACKPOOL STARTS NOW #scd

Smashing the Nikita Turbo-slut Button is the best thing this show has ever done. #scd #strictly

If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?

Our household is one divided; we have differing opinions on the new Charli XCX song. (it's genius and akin to Reznor's soundtrack work; I have the correct opinion here)

I for one welcome a keytar overlord as our PM

Vindicated with antibiotics; not in time for tonight's Katarsis show, however. Please shout Tavo Akys on my behalf.

This statement is the most ill-informed gibbberish to come out of the mouth of a government official with no training in healthcare. As a person with migraines, adenomyosis, and endometriosis, you will never take my ibuprofen. Stop demonizing drugs used to relieve common pain for women.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

I really need a haircut and I wore a serious hat to work today because I had a serious event to attend (again, a serious grownup person would have gotten the haircut already) and everyone kept telling me I looked French rather than serious or grownup

Decided to withdraw from public life to become one with the post-viral fatigue from the flu. It was nice knowing you all; it is even nicer to be napping. (Yes I am seeing the GP later this week and am looking forward to being diagnosed with "I am a big fat baby who should suck it up and hydrate")

Oh wow! A London Underground station being officially Listed is always great news - this one especially so. Southwark station, 1999 by MacCormac Jamieson Prichard, has just been Listed at Grade 2. Now for the other JLE stations. @c20society.bsky.social historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-...

Timeline cleanse: DOUBLE RAINBOW!!!!!

Done. Joy Fleming better be on the list this year. (my rules - one entry per country; tried to do one entry per year but broke that once)

My flu has morphed into something else and it’s bad and I know the GP will just tell me it’s normal but it doesn’t explain why I feel like I have eaten a solid teaspoon of crud with breakfast

sorry. i had to.

Alex and La Voix get my votes this week.

It takes a lot to make a loofah bustle look good, but Karen, I am looking *respectfully*

I hope Amber took some Dramamine before that performance because she was SPINNING (I loved it, to be clear)

Please someone take the video of that Julian and Balvinder dance and put it to a song like Dhoom Machale or something else which would also be recognized by a large swathe of the British public

La Voix singlehandedly bringing the jokes to this show #SCD

so we're throwing votes to Alex tonight, right?

none of this fits together but do I care when Carlos is wearing those sock garters? No.

My one point of boomer nostalgia upon which I will not bend: men’s trousers should still look like what Lewis is wearing tonight
