Just to blow ITVX's bugle for a moment, the movie selection on there is amazing at the mo - Top Gun Grease Crimson Tide 2001: A Space Odyssey John Wick 4 ET Mermaids Apollo 13 Dark Knight Trilogy Indian Jones collection Jurassic Park collection Shrek collection Rocky collection Cornetto Trilogy

Such a shame this classic is siloed off on AppleTV+. It's as good as either of these buffoons have ever been and lovely performance from Olivia Spencer as the romantic lead. Even the songs are incredible. A proper old fashioned Hollywood musical.

My Frog Rupee wishes everyone a very safe and Happy Holidays! ✨️🐸🎄✨️🎶✨️ #greytreefrog

Watching two straight hours of BBC2 quizzing every night is what Christmas is all about

I'm back again! And going to try and make it stick this time. Happy Christmas Eve from me and all my beloved Christmas books 🩷

I'm going to primary Chuck Schumer. My platform is: I will make it the law that David Hyde Pierce is in the next season of White Lotus.

Dictator shit

*stares in Margaret Atwood*

When I was choosing my GCSE options, a technology option was mandated by the school, so my parents wrote to ask why that couldn't just be another free choice. The head wrote back a letter that means the phrase "scribblings of lesser poets" has become infamous in the Lowman household:

Imbolc. Keep going. The sun is coming back.

are these people not familiar with the phrase “third door from the left” #TheTraitors

I'm a proper Digging for Britain stan, can't wait for this one 🦕

BREAKING - RENT IN ADVANCE TO BE BANNED 🚨 Good news! The government has backed our call to ban landlords from demanding multiple months of rent upfront. This is a huge win for renters 🙌 Read our reaction in an exclusive for the @inews.co.uk by Vicky Spratt 👇 inews.co.uk/news/landlor...

Well I've done Geocities, Livejournal, Blogger, Tumblr and Medium, I guess it's time to start on Substack - www.substack.com/@annawaits First up, things that have made me laugh in 2025

POV: You are trying to trick Apple AI into misreading your headlines

Just fist bumped because I recognised the calls of the curlew and chiff chaff on University Challenge, and genuinely that is the precise energy I want to take into 2025

Happy New Year! 🎊 Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful year ahead in 2025. #HappyNewYear #NewYear #JapaneseArt #shinhanga 🎨'Summer Night' - Kasamatsu Shiro, 1957.

"Any big plans for New Year's Eve?" "Yep!"

Things that are now woke: telling young girls they can have a career

I’ve just praised him on Instagram, but @mralistairgreen.bsky.social’s videos are the kind of British comedy that made me move here. His character sketches of miserable, delusional little people are so bleak that each sketch comes with the joy of recognition and the horror that it might be a mirror

Someone on TikTok works fast and if they had any sense they would start selling them

The magic of a wild garlic-flanked footpath in May. (Devon, UK, 2020.)

In a Christmas miracle, I correctly identified the winner of the Masked Singer, and they weren't even mentioned as an option by the panel. Now: the fogball.

Wallace and Gromit would have killed Voldemort with a steam powered hammer attached to a van, I'll tell you that much.

A proper treat for Beatles fans on Prime tonight.

The Wrong Trousers is one of my favourite things to exist, so my expectations were HIGH. And met! Exceeded! Loved it! Norbot swinging his little legs, Gromit being mega cool throughout, THE SEAL.

Merry Christmas dears! Time for a cup of tea, before we resume eating with All The Cheese 🧀 x

Actual Bill Paterson appeared on the Christmas Repair Shop tonight. Massive.

I'll be amazed if we see better tonight #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

I know this is the same for literally everyone, but #DuvetKnowItsChristmas makes me so happy

Merry Christmas Eve!

Conclave is a lot of fun! Looks lovely and obviously that cast can do this sort of thing with their eyes shut. Not essential, but just *proper solid*.

Seeing birds of prey from the train is DOPE. Even if they're doing a nasty shit.

About 20 years ago my pal Will made a series of CD Christmas compilations which he’d burn off and pop in his Xmas cards. I’ve put most of the tracks on this playlist, 4.5 hours worth. Xmas music sorted. open.spotify.com/playlist/6R0...

In #JapaneseFolklore iwana bozu are char (a type of river fish) who grow to an enormous size and transform into #yokai. They are able to shapeshift into human form, dress in Buddhist priest's robes, walk and talk. Mostly they approach people who are fishing in rivers to ask them... #SwampSunday 1/3

It was an absolutely glorious golden sunrise here in Glastonbury this morning, despite the ongoing storm. Very strong winds though but beautiful to see the sun out.

Aljaz's face when Claudia introduced the Wallace & Gromit bit on Strictly is me whenever I remember we have a NEW FEATURE LENGTH WALLACE & GROMIT COMING THIS CHRISTMAS AND FEATHERS MCGRAW IS IN IT.

Your timeline has been blessed by a visit from the Lap Goblin

computer scientists: we have invented a virtual dumbass who is constantly wrong tech CEOs: let's add it to every product

As it wasn't released in time for Christmas in the UK, a reminder that The Holdovers is a bloody brilliant Christmas film.

i love how all the trolls on twitter were like “if you don’t like it here then leave” and then we did and they’re like hey wait where did u go can i come

Yes!! You BST stans are utterly baffling to me. Wanting to go to work in the dark so it can stay light until 5pm instead of 4pm. BAFFLING.

No one sang along at Wicked, but the whole audience talked along to all the dialogue, really fucking creepy

well now donald trump has the perfect excuse to - for the first time in his life, ever - to behave unethically

Why does this garden centre Christmas display look like the scene from a play where the long suffering wife finally decides to leave her troubled husband

remember the reason for the season
