Imagine having a childhood crush on Jenny Swensen from reading Spitfire in the back of Transformers…and then fifteen or so years later finding out what happened *after* TF cancelled the backup strip…

17 weeks at #1! drake! whitney! bryan adams! ed sheeran! your boys took one hell of a beating! your boys took one hell of a beating!

Yet, Haiti’s uniforms were too political.

Already seeing advice from punditocracy that Dems ought to tack to the right to (ironically) raise the saliency and affirm the positions of Republicans on so-called "cultural issues." Let's ask Keir Starmer how well this worked - I hear he has loads of free time.

“Croissant” - shortbread with chocolate almond gianduja, enrobed in baked croissant white chocolate.

evelyn normielib is real and she is coming to a primary near you I cannot count the number of conversations I’ve had with normal offline liberals that would be TOS violations over here

“A nuisance? How rude!”

“For a brief moment, Willi Smith transcended the paranoia surrounding the AIDS epidemic. His Marvel comics cameo made him immortal, depicted as vibrant and generous and talented and actively still designing because within the comics his death is never mentioned." 11/11

"Auth cracked and a big clue dropped. Let me read the key payloads." Claude making me feel like I'm in Sneakers when I'm just trying to talk to my new bird feeder…

This government would ban George from the Famous Five.

(But also, when did we reinstate Frankie Laine UK chartwise? I thought that was ruled as not really a record…at least back in the 90s anyway)

BOLSONARO ARE YOU WATCHING?

To mark ten years since Caroline Aherne's passing, some rare Mrs Merton from This Morning in 1992, taking agony aunt correspondence on the UK launch of the Femidom.

Obviously this is a dipshit opinion. But since I sometimes see people on the left rolling their eyes about those signs, I just want you all to know that the other night some lost Black teens came to our house after taking the wrong bus and we were able to get them home. Why’d they pick us? Signs.

With Humphrey Smith dead, it would be interesting if the Guardian now published a version of this that hasn't been lawyered to within an inch of its life for their own safety. And the planning committee for Tadcaster will hopefully find they're a lot less busy wth stupid, and expensive, arguments.

Wow holy shit www.them.us/story/daught...

Without Tux, would we have ever seen this in print?

ILX, Shimura Curves, Johnny Boy, and Phonogram: 20 years since a very lovely day in London: snappishproductions.com/blog/2026/06... (so, so old…)

Warning: some people are trying to cross the streams with aircon & British food takes. REMAIN INDOORS.

"…except it was Northern Uproar football"

It will never not be funny that all nine Argentinian players look like they'd sacrifice not only their own goal chances but also give up their first born sons to allow him to tap in, and meanwhile Portugal sounds like they are this close to a Murder on the Orient Express situation

David Peace fans: "yeah sure, of course he chooses the Peace-With-Training-Wheels book. Come back and extol the virtues of Tokyo Year Zero, Mr. Prime Minister-In-Waiting"

Maeryn yesterday insisted on a dance party consisting of Girls Aloud, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and her "that's my new favourite song!", Olivia Rodrigo. Obviously, this means teenage rebellion is going to be Norwegian death metal…

there is a very simple response to anyone who suggests replicating starmerism here: absolutely the fuck not

*sickos meme* HAHA YES HOUSES ON A GOLF COURSE

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

"The Curtis Backrooms Cut"

I wish I could say I was surprised that no major comics voices have acknowledged @stephwilliams.bsky.social's historic Eisner nomination for Best Writer. But this silence is just the latest injustice in a long history of them. To wit, from my 2018 Christopher Priest profile: archive.is/0J97j

Oh my god. How did this get further than being laughed out of the room? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Watching fireflies in my back garden. Sometimes, I’m still like that German football fan with this country.

Having said that, I asked a question about matryoshka dimension reduction earlier today and it dropped me straight back down to Opus…

"No apps for you until you can explain the continuity issues concerning Circuit Breaker"

hey quick question, am I having a stroke

At the risk of reigniting the British Food Wars, this is a fun doc from 1975 with some wonderful slo-mo shots of 'beef' coming out of a tin. Also, the line "could you tenderize an elephant?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_-i... (spoilers for the promo image: you don't want the one marked 'pie filling')

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

So, er, yes: if you'd like a pure Python way to liberate any issue of The New Yorker from The Complete New Yorker DVDs…well: github.com/falloutdurha...

Oh wow. I think Claude is about to crack the encryption on the Complete New Yorker DVD archive I've had sitting around like a paperweight for over a decade…

Sorry, Alec. www.quantamagazine.org/are-memories...

I feel I'm deep in my "leave things as they are phase", but adapting Viriconium would be a laugh — it's so anti-lore that it might make TV Tropes' servers explode…

Oh, so we're now actively pissing off Morrison, I guess?

eavesdropping on a couple of english lit academics in st. john, i overheard confirmation of what is surely going to be the biggest literary news story of the year
