Can’t explain why but that dissolve to Robert Mitchum’s impassive face whilst Kate Bush is performing on a French tv show is one of the funniest things ever

I've just discovered that there's a scottish island called Unst and now I will always think of it whenever I hear techno. UNST UNST UNST UNST UNST UNST etc

Wonderful news for a much loved London landmark. And for @c20society.bsky.social's long campaign. And hopefully a sign that Brutalist civic architecture is getting the official love it deserves nationwide.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance "People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense” Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

Fucking hell GW has rediscovered "creating your own characters." They'll have us making scenery out of Pringles tubes again, next. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Really not sure how I feel about this one being "Director Approved."

@drfrancisyoung.bsky.social Um I think your Twitter's been hacked.

Stumbled across video about early 1900s Manchester. All #AI, it's like a fever dream. The absurd narration ("If Manchester sneezes, the global textile market catches a cold") slips between various accents. Most of the visuals are insane: impossible equipment, vanishing objects, plus see Alt texts.

This dog did a great job portraying Cerberus (The Devil's Assistant 1917)

Archaeologists investigating a medieval church near Berlin found a bronze wheel cross from the early era of Christianization in Germany. It perfectly fits a mold that was discovered more than 40 years ago! archaeology.org/news/2026/01/29/medieval-wheel-cross-recovered-in-germany/

I made this for @kjsoar.bsky.social back on the old site

STOP CARRYING OUT YOUR INTENTIONS

I'm seeing a lot of revisionist "Fuck Aaronofsky, I never liked him anyway" takes, which misses the point rather. The guy who directed Pi, Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan - all very good films by any measure - used AI and this slop was the best he could come up with.

Happy to see that there is no need to worry about the historical accuracy of new 1776 AI slop because it happens in the mystical land of Λamereedd.

This is neat, someone mixed together Queen and Bowie performances of Under Pressure to give us the live version we never got: youtu.be/3Dm4E0lLY3E?... Still can't believe they were both at Live Aid and didn't think to perform it together. 🙄

Remember that scene in Silence of the Lambs where Anthony Hopkins peels off the policeman's face and wears it? Ben Franklin looks like someone returned the favour.

The odd thing about Aaronofsky is I watched Pi and Black Swan and thought he was an auteur with a genuinely unique vision, and then I saw Caught Stealing and it turns out the whole time he aspired to make one of those incredibly mid Tarantino/Guy Ritchie knockoff crime capers from the mid-90s.

‘How often do you think about the Roman Empire?’ is so 2024. What I want to know is how often did the Roman Empire think about Warhammer. Pictured is a figurine found from a dig in a Roman cemetery near the A66 by Cotswold Archaeology. It’s 28mm and on a round base ready for 40k or AOS

this is wonderful bsky.app/profile/rick...

Made it better. Hiiiiiii-ya!

Everything reminds me of her.

Have created a half-way house for socks to live in until they're reunited with their life partners.

Happy 92nd Birthday to you, Doctor Who.

The ebook of Jubilee by @robertshearman.bsky.social is 99p today. This is not a drill.

Can't believe there are people still pushing to denuclearise after what happened to Ukraine.

If I had a nickel for every time a famous Hollywood actress had been mauled by a lion, I'd have... two nickels, which is still a surprising amount. www.stage32.com/blog/survivi...

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

Newspaper and magazine headlines, titles, and images haven’t really changed in 50 years. Nice to see Playboy represented on the front of a Ladybird book too.

A fairly eclectic selection. #LastFourWatched

I don’t want to worry anyone but Digging for Britain has just said that the largest UK archaeological dig is currently taking place a stone’s throw from where MR James set A Warning to the Curious.

Watching that YouTube channel where an Azerbaijani woman makes enough cakes to feed a small army with, like, 30 eggs. And you can play Cat Bingo (shout "cat!" every time a cat appears). youtu.be/V7JEd_9Zxq0?...

My "Made without child labour" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Suddenly adding “MADE WITH REAL POTATOES” after 90 years of making potato chips has some real “not involved with human trafficking” energy

The Squat range we should've had in the 1990s. I don't understand why it was so hard for GW to grasp this simple concept.

The Academy Museum is celebrating all things folk horror, with a new screening series featuring THE WITCH, THE WICKER MAN, and more.

The Batman tv show is 60. Adam West should have got an Emmy for this scene alone. I love DeNiro, Washington, Day-Lewis etc but none of them have had an acting challenge like this. youtu.be/tgCkmUS1IYI?...

Finally got around to listening to this (while nursing a cold, which heightens the sense of discombobulation). It's great.
