Keep falling asleep in front of the tv and waking up to this.

Swan for tea!

'by Kate Thornton'

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Very heavy, struggling with obesity

Meanwhile on the radicalisation engine, former children’s TV writer Gareth Roberts is insisting migrants eat swans, and former sitcom writer Graham Linehan is retweeting calls for “Jihadi invader” Mehdi Hasan to be deported “back to your Sharia shithole.”

Ha! Was there last week.

ST:TNG - 'Evolution' Season 3! New uniforms! Smug scientists! Bev's back! and the best thing is Patrick Stewart once again having to say things like "Doctor Stubbs has used his influence to have planet Kavis Alpha Four designated the new home of the nanite civilisation."

ST:TNG - 'Shades of Gray' - Season 2 ends with a shoddy ep. Riker gets ill and slips into a coma which he experiences via a clip show. The audience envies Riker. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Not caught up for a bit... ST:TNG 'Peak Performance' - this is a good one, war games, old Starfleet ships, Picard finally admitting that Riker's 'the best!', Ferengi, even Wesley is a devious little shit.

Not one, but TWO of your favourite podcasts back at once?! It's the little things :D

It’s arrived! From @whenisbirths.bsky.social - can’t wait to get stuck in to this.

Couldn't get to sleep last night because my brain decided it was of huge importance to write lyrics to the theme tune from Fawlty Towers so here it is… (thanks brain)

Ed Davey, "Tory ministers who cheered Liz Truss's budget now complain about the state of the economy they left" "Tory ministers who stopped processing asylum claims and caused the enormous backlog, now make videos complaining about it, and protest outside the asylum hotels they opened"

Tonight's movie was BIGGLES (1986), which offers mid-80s sf thrills if Euston Films was behind it. Lost £5.5m at the box office. Ouch.

Its been a tough week and I'm amazed I've gotten a Middle-Aged Teenage Angst together so please do pity me with a listen to an hour of songs I find comforting, starting with Aphex Twin's bloody lovely "i".

It was 50 years ago today that the last episode of Terror of the Zygons was broadcast and today, lots of Doctor Who fans will be going to the BFI to watch the newly restored version. Hope everyone has a good time watching a great story. Come and say hello!

Doing a Poirot.

Visited Corfe Castle today. You know, the one from BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS (1971).

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

And here's another bump for the video podcast, which the BBC has kindly left up.
