Not going to watch this new “re-imagining” of Cape Fear unless they’ve kept the definitive version’s scene with the rakes and the one-man performance of HMS Pinafore.

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

thinking about it, telling Tony Blair to go fuck himself might be the only thing that could possibly boost Starmer's approval rating at this point.

well done, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social.

Solidarity is where it’s at. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I hope Damo & Nikki are able to run PROGRESS as a viable place for wrestlers to work, forward-thinking in ambition but with reasonable expectations as to their limits, inclusive for both talent & audience, and focused on themselves rather than chasing approval or second-hand credibility from others.

Nikki Storm and Big Damo buying up the indies was not on my bingo card, but a female co-owner and a standalone women's Super Strong Style give me hope that at least there will be some women's wrestling without Will Ospreay in it before long.

Here finally begins my thread of wrestling purchases from this Japan trip, opening with something insanely cool: a programme from an All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling Grand Tournament in 1955. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Rousey's gone back to the only way she knows how to win a fight then

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.

When you think of Ted Turner's broad impact, it really shows you just how washed most modern billionaires are.

I am personally fine with Alissa White-Gluz showing off her clean vocals on an Inhuman Rampage anniversary tour until Blue Medusa becomes a touring concern. As in, "Shut up and take my money Dragonforce" levels of fine.

This month on Discworld Order, award winning author @aliettedebodard.com joins us to discuss the 24th Discworld novel, The Fifth Elephant. We talk about the "trick" to Captain Carrot, Pratchett's strengths & how the Discworld stayed fresh. 🟢 bit.ly/48y8DuO 🍎 bit.ly/4vXyXZj 📦 bit.ly/4vYPGvz

I really thought Lee Cronin's The Mummy would be more mummy-centric. It's just a well made and very icky possession movie. Shame really.

Going after Parkrun – a non-competitive event which has no changing rooms – perfectly illustrates that it's never been about fairness in sport, women's safety or anything else. It's about bullying and demonising trans people, hounding them out of public life in every space possible. It's disgusting.

Look, I just need Bushiroad to throw a bag of cash at making KAIRI vs Kay Lee Ray happen before one of them is inevitably signed to not be on AEW TV.

I am glad that people like David Lowery can get somehow still get their weird films made. After Mother Mary I'm still not actually sure whether I like them.

I spent about an hour of Rebuilding's 95 minutes at some stage of crying. I know I'm a sentimental mess but I swear the film is genuinely great as well.

Vince McMahon wasn't charging cheaper tickets because he was a populist who understood the entertainment was working class, he was charging comparative prices for entertainment and would have charged more if he could.

“The marketing of your family for public drama of that vulgarity, it carves into the very texture of family in a way that we have not seen before.” If he ever finds out literally anything else about the McMahons he'll be amazed how true this is.

Top matches of Mania weekend: 1. Blue Panther vs Ultimo Guerrero 2. Athena vs Rina 3. Sandman vs Invisible Man (except the bits with too many visible people) 4. Nattie vs Shayna 5. Windsor vs Iida I've pretty much already forgotten everything else, and that, my friends, is US wrestling in 2026.

a reminder as you hear the crowd in Vegas chanting "thank you Brock" for whatever eason.

Perfect. Retire and fuck off, you sex trafficking cunt.

Bloody hell, those drone shots look like they were made in a 2K game. Nice to see where all that Dude Wipes money went. #WrestleMania

Último Guerrero vs Blue Panther is going to take some beating as my match of the weekend.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Carpe Jugulum is at the top but it only works because of the cumulative impact of the previous books. So after that: Wyrd Sisters Lords and Ladies Maskerade Witches Abroad (Can vary depending on the time of day)

To put it in even further perspective — Lockheed Martin produced both the spacecraft for the Artemis mission and the PRsM missile that shot tungsten pellets into an elementary school in Lamerd.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Today is an important day in our household calendar: Shelving Day, when 2 or 3 times a year we have to figure out where the hell to put all the new books we have bought between us. Pretty sure we've just cleared out more books than some people own and somebody really should have intervened by now.

Your mileage may vary on how long you can listen to me talk. I get it. But... Granny Weatherwax vs vampires! Pratchett vs fascism! Verence vs Big Aggie's brose! Mark vs keeping me on topic! Carpe Jugulum is dark, weird, creepy and hilarious. Hope we did it justice.

They: Hi! Through our unhallowed ransacking of the world's knowledge, your computer can now talk to the dead. Me: Can it talk to my printer yet? They: haha no

Once when walking home from watching a Rumble at a friend's house, a tipsy George @puropodcast.bsky.social seemed to be moving erratically. I turned to see he was just silently doing the Ministry of Silly Walks beside me until I noticed. Completely unrelated: we've been together 13 years today.

This is my Woodstock.

This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people. It's because she is literally, publicly using the $ from her books/show/games/etc to do bad things that hurt people I love.

Willow really is the best. ❤️

I have to say, the Bride yelling "Me too!" in one of the final confrontations of that film was maybe a bit on the bloody nose.

Best injury report ever? STARDOM has announced that Fukigen Death will not be performing tonight due to "unexpectedly being in a good mood" #aewfanhub #aew #stardom #wrestlesky #prowrestling

The last time a sibling of the monarch was arrested in 1554, Elizabeth Tudor wrote some poems that became the basis of my dissertation. I'm assuming Andy's got very little worth reading.

EXT: Day. The grave of Noel Edmonds. A figure lies face down in the freshly dug soil, sobbing inconsolably. CAPTION: GREYFRIARS BLOBBY.

Has anyone suggested that Emerald Fennell re-read Wuthering Heights as an adult?

You know what they say about the Winter Olympics: you snood, you luge

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Such a shame that people have been talking about a Rumble win for Liv for years, and when she finally gets one it's non-canon.

Please also remember today the words of Romani Holocaust survivor Karl Stojka: “It wasn't Hitler or Himmler who deported me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform and then believed they were the master race."
