I'm started to feel less consoled by media commentators telling me how things used to be.

You guys. youtu.be/1OP6DuihCnk?...

"Hmm." makerworld.com/en/models/11...

"That's it, Chris. It's war." Nineteen ninety-four. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3BO...

A middle-aged man takes his first taxi journey. Only the man's actions are being remotely dictated by Chris Morris. Trust me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQEX...

Secret Traitor is a hot twist. #DoingBetterTogether

We talked a lot about dolls and LEGOs. www.relay.fm/rd/277

I first saw Alan Partridge on "The Day Today" (1994). Which is one of the great things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2x4...

Another banger from the MJ Lenderman Musical Universe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BUI...

Trent Crimm, The Independent is really young and cute on "I'm Alan Partridge." I didn't even recognize him for probably three episodes.

"I'm Alan Partridge" is really good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5jp...

Goo goo g'joob.

Nobody asked, but here's a bunch of videos I've suggested Roderick watch with his smart young person. Mostly about infrastructure, engineering, and how interesting things get made (or screwed up). www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Start with my favorite 90s, but then make it way more scuzzy and disassembled and Australian. Tropical Fuck Storm, you guys. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cBb...

This is a tight pop band in 1982. Related: Jools Holland is cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbx_...

"She said, 'I can never leave Wisconsin because I'm too big a fan of Lifter Puller.'" Which even sounds like a line from a Hold Steady song. JOHN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eavl...

"That's it, Chris. It's war." www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3BO...

This is a very ambitious hour of television. Lotta levels here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOlS...

Lou Rawls - "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" (Soul Train, 1977) youtu.be/BUh3Hj2-cCo?...

Two of my favorite minutes of the past ten years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7f9...

Los del Río have really let themselves go.

What I like is whenever Blue Lights briefly gets all "Grey's Anatomy," it usually pays off, plus it's aping the seasons when Sandra Oh was still on and "Grey's Anatomy" was actually pretty good and the show still knew what it was. This has been a backdoor hot take. #BackdoorHotTake

"Like putting on a rucksack full of secrets" is a nice piece of writing. Blue Lights - s03e03

"Addicted to Little Andy" A Taskmaster Champion of Champions 4 recommended watch order. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I am currently arguing with a computer about some casting information for Game of Thrones. Neither of us is having our best moment. #JusticeForBeric #YellingAtMath

The latest @recdiffs.bsky.social is pretty good. You shouldn't yell at math, but sometimes you sure do want to. www.relay.fm/rd/276

Leo just incepted.

Probably my favorite seven seconds of "The Death of Stalin" (Armando Iannucci, 2017) www.youtube.com/watch?v=debp...

Feargal Sharkey rules. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCAz...

"Ooo-ooooo, Devereux!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=70v8...

You know who's great in "Die Hard" is everybody.

Every time Bob falls over. It's always funny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2bW...

Graham Parker is pretty underrated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kQX...

1. The runner is that this terrible family keeps turning up in places like libraries and churches trying to buy lottery tickets and cigarettes 2. Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are really funny 3. "SHUT it!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=quav...

"Hmm."

"Gone Fishing" is gentle and hilarious and occasionally very moving, and it might just help you get through Christmas. #DoingBetterTogether www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi-o...

Tonight, crack an egg into your bath for Chris Rea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Wi...

Roderick on the Line, Ep. 607: "Buffalo Sober" The Problem: it was the nadir of hand chocolate. www.merlinmann.com/roderick/ep-...

As the owner of a secondhand Casio MT-40, I had access to as many as two (2) different drum fills. Related: this is totally the @recdiffs.bsky.social song. youtu.be/qfcoJaKP5Kg

I've decided this song is pretty good. It's about how much I love Hüsker Dü. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G_J...

This is still just astonishing. They put so much work into this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pid...

This might be the most pure pop song. The Bee Gees - "Spicks and Specks" (1966) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpK7...

Ted is a very good dog. You can tell Ted is really smart. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYKh...

Videos that are nominally about Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer fishing together. These two guys just bullshitting around is such a salve. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dXP...

I watch this a lot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SDL...

The problem is Bob Mortimer had invested in a reverse toilet. Please actively watch this twice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Sb...
