Your friendly reminder to be patient, polite, and wear a mask while doing your Christmas shopping this weekend, retail workers are not elves we are humans whose lower backs hurt

So like are Disney just not advertising things anymore? ‘cause the new season of Percy Jackson has dropped two episodes and I had no clue until I was randomly on Disney+ yesterday. I thought it was later this month or next year. But apparently it was this week. Thanks for letting us know Disney!

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.

“The Tower” card represents immense change— a shakeup, for good or for bad. Immense things are on the horizon. Our new Epic Universe inspired mini-print will be available starting tomorrow at our booth at Elf Mart in Oviedo. Keep your eyes on our Etsy in the near future as well.

NEW: This week's SATURDAY SIX heads over to the Universal Orlando Resort and sees what they have going on for CHRISTMAS. Including: Hotel decorations, a wonderful Tribute Store, Blues Brothers Holiday Show, E-Ticket garland references, a great parade and MORE! touringplans.com/blog/the-sat...

Good morning, Glasgow. With just over a week to go to the shortest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere, there was a brief, but beautiful sunrise just after 8 o'clock morning. Cont./ #glasgow #goodmorningglasgow #goodmorning #broomhill #sunrise #wintersunrise #glasgowsunrise #church

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Our tree has not made it up yet but the first present underneath will be my @bertsbooks.bsky.social Secret Santa which arrived this week. So excited to get a well chosen book for Christmas!

ever day I be like

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

The UK has turned into a censorious nightmare state because of transphobia

I got some sleep and boy did I need it. I’m so glad my plans for this weekend are doing nothing. I’m gonna chill and read and vegetate.

I’d seen some people who started the Muppet Christmas Carol plush advent calendar on 1st December but it’s a 12 day calendar so that’s silly and wrong. I started mine today and I’m already in love. Mini Kermit!

Paris has some really awesome merch. And I’m sorely tempted to buy a flight over just to buy this.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

This is insanity. When I’m entering your country, all you need to know is where I’m staying when there and when I’m leaving so I don’t outstay my tourist visa.

I am running on fumes, guys. Two days of travel and work socialising followed by a gig in Glasgow and now working (albeit it from home) today. I’m gonna sleep all weekend.

As long as you need to. Fuck off and leave us alone. (I came off antidepressants once and it happened to coincide with a terrible time in my life. It was not great folks. I have also learned I need my small dosage just to balance my brain chemistry, it helps).

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

Started my day in London, currently sat at the Oran Mor in Glasgow for a gig. I was home less than an hour before I headed back out. Bed will be very nice when I finally get there tonight, a taxi may happen to get home. But super excited to see Haiver and Billy FRabbit again.

Headed to a gig tonight and I’m on one of the new Glasgow subway trains for the first time. As someone who’s lived in Glasgow nearly 13 years it’s very odd for a Glasgow subway train to be clean and bright.

London trips are always insane, especially since they only give one night now. So down on day of party, work before party then party, crash, work for short time then trek to airport and fly home. Oh and I’m off to a gig in Glasgow tonight. Wild few days!

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

Used my cheat code of living close to the airport to my own detriment this morning. But usually one breezes through Glasgow airport security in 5 minutes. Today it was the busiest I’ve ever seen it and I had to run to make final call for my flight. But I made it!

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

They did it! They made a Salt Path Scandal documentary! It was indeed bound to happen and yes, I’m gonna watch it.

Just one of the stupidest things that has happened in my lifetime

He’s right too!

Supposed to be flying to London for a work event in about 12 hours time. Here’s the current weather warnings. The wind should go down to gusts 45-55mph by the morning rather than currently 60-70, possibly 80 or even 90mph. We shall see.

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

Oh shit, it's Stylish But Illegal Monkey Day

I lead a nearly 3 hour call today. It was just me and the girl who has come on as my support but I was showing her some day to day duties and talking her through it. I am now spent. I also got my period today. Today is a write off now.

Daniel Day Lewis came out of Instagram retirement to show support for Paul Dano. King shit.

Cynthia Erivo meets Grogu.

I finished reading Jaybangs (a great read, btw) and moved right onto Future Boy. Which has worked out quite well for me cause there’s a lot of familiar names in both. 🤣

These are some dope Vans but I do not pay £85 for a pair of shoes. Ever. Never mind in the year 2025. Prices are insane. But damn these are cool.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow is seriously one of the best shows of the past decade. It's got so much heart and humor and embraces silliness and diversity in the best ways (and OH MY GOD I crush so hard on Tala Ashe's grunge Zari).

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Hot take: the actual best movie of the year is WEAPONS.

Unsung heroes who jam oodles of creativity into places you'll never even notice

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint
