Watching Edge of Darkness. (it's on iplayer, fully recommended). In episode 2. Just heard a posh bugger pronounce "twat" "twot", which I had to pause the show to laugh at.

Finished @tashasuri.bsky.social's Isle in the Silver Sea Wow It's a story of a knight and a witch but it's also a story about stories and myths and change, and how some people will try to make things unchanging and smaller (and it is *very* pointed) Just Wow (Also the murder couple is 🔥)

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

There should be global freedom of movement. It should be as easy in border-crossing terms for me to travel from Sheffield to Mumbai as for me to travel from Sheffield to Manchester. And for someone in Mumbai to travel to Sheffield.

Get in, losers, we’re going to the Cambrian Explosion.

Timeline cleanse: A sunbird. I am proud to say I’ve seen a sunbird in person. 😊

So when the aurora borealis is faint enough, you can capture its glow with the Milky Way 😍 Berthoud Pass, CO last night

I tried to write about the Epstein emails and Trump and I'm just repeatedly running into a brick wall. We know all this already. We have been told about it in great detail. We just don't believe the victims. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_...

Wow. It's an absolute honour to be elected as Vice President for the Liberals Democrats. Thank you so much to everyone who supported in this campaign and to Kamran who ran a fantastic campaign.

Bond is a time lord. :shrug: Regeneration can look like anything, including a big explosion.

I would crawl over broken glass to see this, with one change: bring back Pierce as Bond. Grizzled beardy Bond. We all know he loves The Muppets.

Tell me you haven't read From Russia With Love without telling me you haven't read From Russia With Love. (Context: at the end of the novel, Bond is poisoned by Rosa Klebb. He collapses to the floor and it's strongly implied he's dying. This cliffhanger is simply ignored in the next book.)

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

I'm still not over the three Doctor Who fans in "Lux" unanimously agreeing that "Blink" was their favourite episode. One of them is holding a Pertwee-model sonic screwdriver. They have shelves full of Big Finish and VNAs. They absolutely know what Faction Paradox is. (1/2)

After a brief argument establishing that only stuff written and filmed for television counts, one of them names a serial that only exists in telesnap form, one of them says "Shada", and one of them breaks out a powerpoint presentation defending Trial of a Time Lord. (2/2)

Just tried BlueSky's age verification partner again. It's still quite rude about my features. Also following the instructions as they appear on screen? I took my glasses off - I can barely see that they exist!

Oh brilliant! I remember being gripped watching episode 1 as an 11-year-old and then missing the next two because I was away from home. Didn't pick it up again because I figured I'd missed too much of the story. I will definitely watch this when it comes round.

The reason I'm reluctant to concede Remembrance Sunday and the symbol of the poppy to jingoistic scolds and nationalistic chauvinists is that I'm old enough to remember the generation who experienced the horrors of 1914-45. Nothing disrespects them more than what many are trying to turn today into.

One of the things I often hear guys complain about when it comes to dating is that they got rejected (or sometimes ghosted) without understanding why. Here are 3 possibilities to consider... www.girlonthenet.com/blog/why-i-g...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY FUCKING FIXED IT

Hear me out Blake’s 7 but Muppets, Vila the only human

Look, I know it's 'just good acting', but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone inhabit a different person each time they step on the dancefloor as clearly as Alex Kingston does. It's like she actually shapeshifts. #Strictly

My first walk out of the house since coming down with Covid on late Tuesday. Sheffield from Parkwood Springs on a November afternoon: I love my city.

And so it was that throughout the lands, as news readers named Watson and Crick as the discoverers of the DNA helix, a rousing chorus of “Rosalind Franklin” was directed towards the news.

Me: The reason no production of Chess has ever succeeded other than the in-concert version is because absolutely no one including the authors are aware of the fact that Florence is the protagonist of the show-- Sarah: Babe, the question was "are you interested in anything for lunch".

How did I not know that this actually exists??? robotwars.fandom.com/wiki/Celebri... thank you @drlucyrogers.com!

I love that they always play The Hanging Tree for the final round table. #CelebrityTraitors

This is very good

I lost the framed original of this while I was going through St Pancras on Sunday Nov 2nd around 3pm. Would love if it had been found by anyone?

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC. My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

Let's not forget that the only reason we're not talking about Boston @mayorwu.boston.gov's victory tonight is because she won her preliminary election so decisively that her billionaire heir opponent dropped out. ✊

Look, I know it's one election, and not even in this country, but thank you New York. I'd forgotten what it was like to wake up to hope rather than despair. The billionaires are going to hate this so much. I hope you react like you reacted to the green goblin being mean to Spiderman in 2002.

Oh dear. (clears plans for the next week or so)

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

The good news is they will still (as always) accept trans students. The bad news is they won't affirm that position for new fellows, for whom "following the Supreme Court’s decision...when we refer to 'women' we mean those assigned female at birth." Source: newn.cam.ac.uk/research/res...

YESSSSSSS NEWNHAM!

My favs are Damka and Krasavka, whose escape pod failed to eject, the capsule had a self-destruct mechanism, AND it'd landed in terrifyingly sub-zero Siberia. But the craft was quickly located, the self-destruct deactivated, the dogs found very cold but alive, and flown home for medical treatment.

Where this is reported to us we can/will investigate - there will be no tolerance for this kind of bullshit. Trans rights are human rights.

I have heard more than one report of Toilet Policing at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social , whether by con attendees, hotel guests or staff is unclear. Just wanna say, if you're pro toilet policing fuck off before I block you.

After the London Film Fair, the wonderful @alexwilcock.bsky.social met me for a cuppa in central London! Alex was the guest on our episode on S1E14, Good Friday. So great to meet him in person!

Huntingdon - This comment from Simon Calder is worth repeating. My thoughts with all involved

Interesting essay: www.speculativeinsight.com/essays/almos...

I'm the king of kings I'm not the king of kings but I'm the wreckage of a king but really I'm not actually a king but I am... Shattered visage in the desert by the stone legs wrinkles its lip at you. See my works, ye mighty, and despair!
