sorry to hear that nigel farage has died. i know some people say he's still alive, but they said that about stalin, and that turned out to be a lie too, so rip

Seaquest DSV is Encartacore/Utopian Scholastic SF, I just realised. @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

girl who's 11 months into transition: the nature of transness and community is such that, girl who's in year 5: goddammit you trannies are annoying

Have a weird race memory of being a child being scared by the 60s WB Looney Tunes logos.

Reminder that Bracco was a Radio Luxembourg Fab 208 DJ in the early 80s, presumably Tony Prince being her boss. Meaning she shares that honour with such dubious figures as Lord Haw-Haw, Sir Jimmy Savile and Noel Edmonds. This is the real Boat that Rocked we need.

Peter Cook as Elvis looking like a Morrissey/Alvin Stardust hybrid was not something I ever expected to see.

Yo Jimbo

letterboxd.com/film/the-red... RIP Claudia Cardinale. Her most underrated picture? This epic Soviet-Italian Arctic epic costarring Peter Finch AND SEAN CONNERY AS AMUNDSEN.

RIP Claudia Cardinale The beating heart of Once Upon a Time in the West. This scene in which she beautifully plays off against Jason Robards & Charles Bronson is just exquisite. Those wonderfully expressive eyes. youtu.be/Q5gT6O9FF8Q?...

Watching Ordinary Decent Criminal. Love Spacey in this. His accent goes everywhere, but he's delightfully camp. Never has he looked more like Sexy Evil Bob Mortimer.

So Jimmy Kimmel is un-suspended... and I guess people will re-subscribe... imagine how much could be achieved if people boycotted loads of stuff, for a long time. But obviously they won't, because they like stuff, and organising things is hard.

Amazing title/name.

half my time writing my latest script was spent doing shit like this

We really need to change how we calculate electricity pricing in the UK (the free excess electricity on a few random hours to keep a few turbines on is nice but hardly a substitute for proper energy pricing reform)

At least the antivaxxers are miserable. That’s something.

If you want to know how long this nutty Rapture obsession has been pinballing around the right wing evangelical brainsoup, here's a 1972 movie about it, with the faithful vanishing to heaven and the left behind branded with binary 666 tattoos by the dystopian Anti-Christ (aka the United Nations).

UK media desperately needs a farm out in the countryside where people like Robinson, Peston and Jenkins can all be retired to

- of course, The Apple did it best #spoilers #RaptureDay

There was a time when 'Paracetamol causes autism!' would have rightly been the sort of crap that you have to cruise the forums of the most gullible and suggestible that you can find. Now the POTUS declares it in public with every air of credence. What the FUCK has happened to the World?

If we eradicate autism, who will buy all the Warhammer minis? Who?

Have to admit I’m disappointed to learn it’s just paracetamol. I always assumed it was one of those ridiculously overpowered drugs Americans can somehow buy over the counter.

And it turns out to be disappointingly mundane, like Saran Wrap. (No-one in the UK would have given this news story the time of day if they'd said paracetamol, because then it would have sounded as ridiculous and ill informed as it is. They might as well have said sticking plasters.)

That weird AI aesthetic is going to be fetishized by Gen Alpha the same way Millennials turned 80s neon and 90s computer art into the look of Vaporwave.

when the rapture doesn’t occur tomorrow, i want every Christian who is disappointed to know it’s because a transgender witch used blood magic to revoke the apocalypse. the demon she was petitioning responded at 3am with an earthquake btws

I’d rather be autistic than a Republican. Every fucking time.

There is an academic consensus on this issue and has been for many years. This is not an "agenda" propagated by trans Marxist antifa. The only conspiracy is by the media and cowardly, bigoted politicians who are trying to suppress our existence.

It's so simple. Either you believe in human rights or you don't. If you give an inch on this issue or any others, it means you don't believe that human beings all deserve the same basic right to self-determination.

'centrists', liberals, whatever you want to call them who think that facts will beat out fascism and that science will win the day should be reminded of things like this they all keep saying transphobia is 'reasonable concerns' or 'common sense' while completely ignoring what scientists have to say

The Wogan Islands

The Mirror headlines will be like STAR OF CULT TV SHOW CONFESSES SECRET THAT MAKES FANS HEARTBROKEN and it'll be some cunt of The Bill announcing they're lactose intolerant.

It’s 70 years since 20 million people tuned in to hear the death of Grace Archer on The Archers while a few thousand watched something called “Associated-Rediffusion” on a funny new button on the TV.

Published by Star/Universal-Tandem, whom Target were part of. So, these are the Dollars trilogy Target novelisations.

So today I learned that there were tie-in novels for THE DOLLARS TRILOGY that went beyond the movies and boy do they have some amazing titles.

Subscribed to that list that tells you which accounts follow problematic people. Brianna Wu has EXPLICITLY stated that nonbinary folks who don't play by the binary rules are why trans rights are in jeopardy. She blames people like me for *gestures*. You are judged by the company you keep.

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

I mean culturally he is just now funny poems for kids right? Which ironically was probably preserved as a legacy because Q had too much horrible shit to go in the Python 90s repeat slots

Reminded that my mam thought Hal Holbrook was called Hal Stanwyck.

Started watching this and finished it on fast forward. Less programmes about rich, greedy pieces of shit, please, BBC, and more proper arts coverage.

Politicians insisting they are merely spouting “common sense” are saying they themselves, and their trade - debate, parliament, politics itself - are unnecessary. The big twats.

There's more queer American kids (22.2% of gen z) than Catholic kids (14%) and Protestant kids (22%) and fuck is that funny news.gallup.com/poll/611864/...

Have always wanted to ask a GC gay, who's all 'gay men are more important than trans people?' So, is Conan Gray in a dress more important than Jordan Gray in a dress?

I can't afford to be a Disney adult, but we like Disney and as a family tried to get down there every 5ish years. Then they got rid of ALL their disability services EXCEPT for ppl w/autism and/or developmental delays. Well, my wheelchair & I decided that was bullshit & haven't supported them since.

It's because they've always known Walt Disney was a monster.

Ah no, especially as I've taken my current avatar from The Time, the Place ep on lookalikes.
