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!

Nearly that special day

Still possibly one of the greatest Armistice Day tweets of all time from the good old days on Twitter. #inremembrance #lestweforget #cockdestroyer

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

*throwing savoury food into your slit trench* TOAD IN THE HOLE!

The BBC employ roughly twice as many people as the UK fishing industry. You'd think people would question Farage's patriotism and intentions wanting it shut down.

If it’s 10 November, it must be... yes, of course: the 55th anniversary of Sacheen Littlefeather being crowned Miss American Vampire by Regis Philbin as part of a promotion for American TV show Dark Shadows (before she went on to be more famous for turning down Marlon Brando’s Oscar…)

Ofcom's board consists largely a load of right-wingers with a background in banking. There's only one person on the board with a background in journalism and one person with a background in TV production* and unfortunately they're the same bloke. It's not fit for purpose.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Great to see that @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social are dipping their toes into some continental cinema. Nights of Cabiria and Breathless (À bout de souffle) coming up soon. Hope we'll see some more nouvelle vague classics to follow 🙂🇫🇷

This is an excellent read, the story of Tony Cornell and the SPR. Gutted that not crossing the picket line meant we didn’t get to do our British Library event with Ben. But this is a terrific book for anyone interested in how intelligent people might engage with the paranormal.

Jeff Stelling ranting about "44 days of Christmas adverts!" Nothing about 365 days of betting adverts.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

This is, legitimately, a very good idea.

On Bob Mortimer's Desert Island Discs he's asked why nobody's doing comedy like he did anymore, which always feels like the guest is being baited into saying they'd be "cancelled", and he answers "because it's a career path now, not just lads dicking about". Refreshing perspective.

Of course, the main problem with the Corporation is that news thinks it's the reason the BBC exists. It isn't. In the formative years of the Corporation, news was a part of it, but it wasn't the main event. The BBC's reputation was only partially made by news. The other stuff matters more.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

And they say there are no new sitcom ideas

WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING POPPY?

stumbled across these guys 6y ago today while teaching in Zeist

Morning!

Excellent stuff. A thoroughly decent day: great fun with @cottonmouthmcr.bsky.social running some WW2 Delta Green for #Grogmeetish a colossal homemade lasagne, reasonable bottle of cheap red and Edge of Darkness

I forget whose computer room/datacenter that was in reality #EdgeofDarkness

Red wine and Edge of Darkness? Yes please

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Can barely hear the Amazon Christmas advert over the noise of fireworks 🤔

"You there! Boy! Where's your fucking poppy?"

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

10/10 take. No notes.
