All I know about him is that every decision he ever made appears to have been bad and there are ostensibly left-wing people who talk about him like he's the "I'm just a little guyy, noo, it's also my birthday, I'm a little birthday boyy" guy

Always amazing to learn about other countries' TV practices compared to our own Lara Ricote - in six episodes of Make That Movie (UK) Lara Ricote's mum Gabriela Rivero - in 358 episodes of Carrusel (Mexico) (Jan 1989-June 1990)

Proud to be one of the Weird Boys who believes Final Fantasy IX is the best one #UmActually @ifycomedy.com

Make a Doctor Who title less scary

Got to be these guys for me

One of you will know this off the top of your head

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 4 47. Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles (2003) An all-timer riff, and as a Scot I'm always pro songs about walking multiples of 500 miles And it always reminds me of the video of CJ from GTA San Andreas zooming around mowing down pedestrians with his piano youtu.be/Cwkej79U3ek

This video is for my geography teacher who said that I will never go anywhere in life. Haha, look at now. Eiffel Tower, Italy.

Great thread, lots more in the replies.

Now watching Grace: 1999 and the picture is so sharp it's actually kind of stunning I'm just up to the part where Dr Who's companion straight up manslaughters him and dear old Sylv nearly wrecks the whole scene by roaring

It's always fun to be watching the same shows as your friends at the same time as them

I'm going to say something about the Doctor Who movie 30th anniversary 4K that I bet nobody else has said so far, which is that it smells amazing

Ned and Dan is a can't-fail combination

Gosh that's gonna take years, surely

My playlist recreating the experience of listening to Atlantic 252 between 1990 and 1995 has just hit 200 songs Which is weird, because that's about 190 songs more than it felt like they had on any given day at the time open.spotify.com/playlist/22d...

CYCLE OF HATE and then the pic is this

I wrote a piece about attending the UK Games Expo last weekend, about feeling bad, stupid & worthless, about taking my 9 year old daughter for the first time, about the values of the market, & about pointless games. It's called 'Stupid Games, Stupid Prizes': www.timclarepoet.co.uk/stupid-games...

Ah man, John Blanche has died. One of the most important artists in British SFF, not just because he was so core to defining the look of Warhammer but also as illustrator of things like the Sorcery! gamebooks. What a sad piece of news.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 3 48. Generationals - When They Fight They Fight (2009) I'm 100% sold by that initial organ's first few notes, and locked in even harder by the intro of every strange bit of percussion, the bass and the horns. The actual melody is almost superfluous really youtu.be/enrno3zCggg

Shakira's "Try Everything" is just a reskin of the Chicks' "Goodbye Earl", listen to them back to back, it's true

"I've been reading the most recent Nightwing run. It's good, lots of fun ideas, they know what people love about Dick Grayson..." "I'm sensing a 'but'" "Yes, like I say, they know what people love about Dick Grayson"

HBO Max’s localisation find and replace goes wrong for John Candy

He bought 138 mugs in total over the period. I presume he was just drinking from them once then smashing them in the hearth

Reading the full list of what's contained in the Murrell Collection and it's beyond bananas. 38 coffee mugs in one year. Was he being converted into a branch of Black Sheep

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 2 49. Calexico - Alone Again Or (2003) There's a lot to enjoy in this version but the thing that carries it into my top 50 is those incredible horn arrangements youtu.be/RZkkbFUB-x0

One of those unpleasantly warm nights where taking out your contacts is like sliding the skin off a circus peanut

I'm hoping to be able to get some traction for my idea for a TV show about Australian cops in the 1970s; for some reason, my webpage for The Sydney Sweeney has been getting loads of hits over the past few years

If you're like me, you might like to know that there are loads of immensely enjoyable trans and NB horror writers; give Gretchen Felker-Martin, Hailey Piper, Bitter Karella, Trang Than Tran, Andrew Joseph White, Rivers Solomon and Logan-Ashley Kisner a go

The cartoons of Kevin Woodcock are an unnerving trip to a place that is just not quite right. In these glimpses of unease the funny bone is always exposed and the widest grin belongs to a skull. Discover one of the most distinctive voices in British cartooning. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com

If they want to really capture the zeitgeist, he'll break into New York and break straight back out again, leaving the President to fend for himself

Fascinated by the decisions behind the next season line-up on Taskmaster

I mean, they have previous

An episode of Parlor Room where Becca Scott is sitting next to Vic Michaelis? Let's see how much sexual tension they can build this time

Another confirmation that people who don't like Doctor Who are probably baddies

Man it was so good

Happy Pride from this sensationally queer comic that you should go and read on Marvel Unlimited

I mean, this does sound pretty positive?

Time to post it @erikaishii.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social

Labour seems to have internalised the Supreme Court judgment as though it was a damning referendum loss that saw the public reject its position, rather than a plainly incorrect reading of a single point of law

as part of the BBC’s on-going commitment to representing a diversity of ideas, June will be Pride & Prejudice Month

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 1 (50 fave singles of the 2000s, ranked) 50. Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag (2000) First song that came to mind when thinking about music from that decade. Still somehow only ended up at 50. A karaoke classic of the Sad Unbelovèd Boys subgenre youtu.be/FC3y9llDXuM

The people cry out for Jarnathan

hope you brought urine!

Just done a quick last-minute polish of my list for #TheN0ughtie5, and I think it's pretty great overall. Last song to be dropped was this Semisonic banger where they joined the ranks of Cyndi Lauper, P!nk and Green Day in extolling the joys of, er, making your own entertainment youtu.be/8I1oMjNVh7U

Just for completeness, I can confirm Nigel Farage is also banned from Desert Island Discworld

She deserved better, honestly

Good morning kung fu panda, lovely weather we're having
