The superb 2018 Imagine special on Mel Brooks (which is just all the previous Imagine specials edited together like it's Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp) is back on iPlayer and it's extraordinary and obviously really, really funny.

Honestly the heat hasn't got to me at all I'm just vibing in the kitchen procrastinating because it's my turn to do the dishwasher

me: this is my rucksack. I keep all my ruck in it cop: *hand on holster* what does that mean? tell me what the fuck that means character actor Alan Ruck: *muffled* I was in Speed me: that's right, you were in Speed, I always forget that

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house

Finally, we get to see what it would be like if Dwayne Johnson played Beetlejuice. Supergirl is a decent time at the pictures! Mostly.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to open my chunky knitwear and casserole emporium.

The earth is a burned-out husk. The last human, suffocating, dying, whispers: "Eggs do not lay eggs. It was the goose that created value."

Update: everyone is hot.

I thought kick off was later and I’m sad I somehow missed it but that’s a great result for Scotland.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Yo, quick question: What is WRONG with you?

Unexpectedly, Live-Action Moana is now my most anticipated release of the year because it marks the point I will never have to see the fucking trailer for Live-Action Moana again.

It's funny that now a certain sector of fandom has caught up with what competitive tendering is, each insist that production companies must demonstrate in their bid that they are capable of delivering what they specifically want, like the nanny wanted song from Mary Poppins.

My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".

This never happened to the other fella... 👀

There is nowhere far enough for this idea to fuck off. Get the fuck to space with it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think I hate John Harris to an almost inordinate degree. Guardian journalist. Kept his Britpop haircut about 30 years too long. he’s done more to normalise the idea in centrists that northerners are not only thick bigots, but also that those bigotries must be pandered to.

Oh my God it's happening

Sharing this again for no reason, no reason at all!

So, the credulous big red machine with no direction other than purging has finally purged its own silver-quiffed head. Happy Husbands Of River Song Day everyone!

I cannot express my admiration enough for the Game on display here. This entire press release is a list of tips for how to make your front door last longer.

One point for each correct answer, except the TWATBLAST one, where if you know it without Googling, you can have 20,000 points under the sea.

I hate this shit. The labour party is brimful of decent people. Always, always a false binary with the implication that "only i am righteous, the rest are orcs." A deranged mindset that has resulted an overwhelming number of terror arrests are middle aged women. Dick.

What a waste of two years. That stomping majority and all the things you could have done and he wasted his time kowtowing to the worse cunts in the country.

“I’ve have done all these things for the country that I’m sure everyone agrees have been amazing, and, for that reason, my party have told me I must fuck off with immediate effect.” - Keir Starmer

Starmer says he inherited a “morally bankrupt” Labour Party. He built one in debt to some truly horrific people.

So, the credulous big red machine with no direction other than purging has finally purged its own silver-quiffed head. Happy Husbands Of River Song Day everyone!

OK, now I want to see him as a celebrity expert on The Wheel. His specialist subject is Thunderbirds. The light lands on him and he just shrugs and doesn't know. He's never seen Thunderbirds. He can't help, sorry. Mostly, I'm dying to know if anyone can get booed off The Wheel and I think he could.

the most stable figure in british politics in the last decade is the man who sets up the lectern the PMs resign from

I absolutely don't want this to happen, but imagine how funny it would be if Starmer just didn't announce his resignation.

The best moment was when he was asked what "change" meant he said it meant "changing the things that need changing and that is the change I will bring about." Just a perfect summary of how much of a middle manager void he was.

Quite funny graphic on BBC News detailing Starmer's travails that goes from "July 2024: Elected with a commanding majority" straight to "June 2026: Burnham elected in Makerfield". Oh man, that doesn't seem fair, we should give him another chance. Let's get him a present.

"How was it then, the 62 years I missed?" "Oh, you mean my life?" "Yeah, that. Is there a Mr Clara?" "No. But there were plenty of proposals." "They all turned you down though?"

I love this kid vomiting up FIFA

Cannot fucking believe an external 4TB SSD drive that cost me $200 last year is now $1100. Had to check receipts to make sure. They’re really out there trying to keep you from having a PC, phone, or a gaming console so they can have hallucinating, polluting chatbots that drop bombs on kids’ schools.

Reminder that if you think you saw someone shop lifting baby stuff. No you fucking didn’t. You saw nothing. Your eyes were playing tricks on you.

Currently on a campsite with minimal signal and beginning to heal.

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

Where’s Andy Burnham going?

RIP James Burrows If I saw his name on the credits, I watched it. Some of the happiest moments of my teenage years where when I watched Taxi & Cheers and then later on, Frasier. A master of the sitcom. youtu.be/gruBx-dU1lw?...
