Just realised I have a spare Black Widow figure head that would work pretty well for my Mage: The Ascension PC. May now be shopping for a figure to put it on. The new Jessica Jones is nice apart from the most ripped jeans knees ever. Hm.

The seventh Prime Minister in ten years announcing a glorious ten year plan seems... optimistic.

"What's today, my fine fellow?" "Today? Why, today is Prime Minister Who Didn't Win A General Election Day!" "... Again?"

Saving the world is a nice feeling.

Congratulations to the winner of Football, and that means no Football until the Winter Football in two years' time, right?

I had a feeling, but man this sucks. Fuck cancer. The only good of any of this is she had some fraction of an idea of how much she meant to people. Goodnight Jennifer Finch, and thanks for helping kickoff a revolution.

As a Scottish historian with Jewish ancestors, fuck Braveheart.

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War. A total of 549 Scots volunteered to fight in Spain. Proportionally more Scots volunteered than from any other country. We still have a lot of work to do in Scotland to tackle fascism, racism, and all forms of discrimination.

For the 40th anniversary of Aliens, @fromthemorgue.bsky.social on Burke showing how much he sucks without telling. morgue.isprettyawesome.com?p=7665

Once he was warned of Wickham he wouldn’t wait and went and weeded out a woman who was once his ward’s watcher to waylay Wickham’s wicked Wickham-ing

CAROLINE: That Elizabeth. The glint of her skin seems sun-touched these days, not like last time I saw her. Her teeth are fine. People say her eyes are pretty, but they seem stern to me, and I’ve looked long and deep into them. DARCY: (Oh no, better lock down Elizabeth before Caroline makes a move)

JANE AUSTEN: “It was an earnest, steadfast gaze, but she often doubted whether there were much admiration in it, and sometimes it seemed nothing but absence of mind.” ELIZABETH, sweatily: Why does he keep staring at me with that stupid look on his stupid staring face, staring stupidly and facely???

This!

Post two characters who bring you happiness.

First UK 18 certificate was probably a Hammer horror that has since been lowered in rating, first that was definitely an 18 (now a 15) would be Alien when I was 12. Shown by one of the teachers at school just before the summer holidays. I... question this decision.

Take a movie title, add a colon and another movie's title to make it SOUND like a sequel to the first movie! The Time Machine: The Eras Tour

Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN comes to Criterion Collection 4K UHD & Blu-ray this October. Releasing October 27. Includes 4K digital master of Frankenstein: The Reborn Cut, a new 158-minute extended director’s cut of the film, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack.

At the rate Crooked Dice went through 60s, 70s and 80s pop culture to make miniatures, looking forward to their totally not Buffy line in a year or so.

So which Linkin Park song best fits the end of The Odyssey? In The End seems obvious but Leave Out All The Rest maybe?

a crucial detail of Greek mythology to know about BEFORE seeing The Odyssey (which I saw yesterday)

An early Christmas present!

Happy Bastille Day

Did Buffy the Vampire Slayer perfect the art of the "monster of the week" episode? You'll find no argument here– @mbyrd.bsky.social counts up the fifteen best one-off villains, from The Giles Demon to Sweet 🩸 #Buffy

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

I'm looking for a TTRPG artist who might be available to create illustrations in the art nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha (not necessarily with women as the central element) Please let me know if you know an artist who might fit the bill. No AI art please.

Looks like Flanagan's take on Carrie is planned to be a big tonal shift, unlike The Haunting Of Hill House where a last minute change to the planned ending overturned pretty much everything.

This may or may not be the same one I remember hearing at the Vaults over a decade ago but gets the point across. soundcloud.com/psyprussun/r...

Garbage were amazing. I feel ten years younger. Except in my feet.

With our government today and the state of the world, it can sometimes be a struggle to remember that Murder, She Wrote was a terrible show.
