I won’t believe Brigitte Bardot is dead until I see a post in English.

We're getting Chris Evans back as Steve Rogers in a film directed by the Russos and written by one of his best writers and the guy who wrote Loki, and that's supposed to be a bad thing? Stop being weird.

My sister thinks I'm making Rutland up.

RIP Chris

I see your boyfriend’s left your Christmas present on Dovedale Road.

RIP Chris Rea. I’m off to crack an egg in my bath. Seems only right. youtu.be/H0WiwB1Cjbg

I'm going to crack an egg in my bath tonight as a tribute.

Stone cold accuracy. See also Cheap knick knacks probably from Flying Tiger Copenhagen: Aw that’s so funny, where did you get that! Or Random kitchen thing: Oh no way, I’ve been needing one of these! Gonna get my chef hat on in the new year!

Performative Christmas unwrapping rules: Media - Tell everyone "it's supposed to be really good" then have a quick look at the back Clothes - oooooo THAT'S nice as you remember your Vinted password Sweets - haha not sharing these haha Smellies - Hold it up and show everyone

As a former editor of Popbitch – and the proud owner of a legal letter sent by HarperCollins, accusing me of being "highly likely to cause serious harm to [their former star client]’s reputation both as an individual and author” – may I just say: GET IT RIGHT UP YE

To everyone on Bluesky finding out about Walliams and despairing at the fact that "I read those books to my kids" I just want to reassure them that it's OK. He didn't write them.

@alistaircoleman.bsky.social @merseymal.com Guys, can you please consult each other before posting in future?

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful. A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

I have just had a filling, in case you meet me today and are appalled that I am dribbling.

A gay friend of my dad's came back from holiday, having seen NFL and excitedly declared, "I've discovered 'Rugby: The Musical'"

Hi, Lego. The answer is 40490.

I am at a House of Parliament.

I haven’t watched Victoria Wood’s favourite Christmas video yet this year, so here it is. youtu.be/AVt9AqE0toY?...

Off to London today to see if I can find a Pret A Manger.

BLT stands for Bacon Lacon Tacon

@danmud.bsky.social Great news! New dog rhyme just dropped!

Gave our window cleaner a Christmas box, and can’t stop thinking about his reply. #fambo

We made it, guys!

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more." This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

- you got that Aryan propaganda done? - sure did boss, nice and Arian just like you asked

Welcome back, old friend

He had a revelation on the road to de-mask us

DC have published a celebratory work for the 30th Anniversary of The Death of Superman - this 'Absolute Edition' is packed with detail and replica items, and I was honoured to contribute a chapter about our BBC Radio 'Superman Doomsday & Beyond" audio version which ran concurrently with the comics.

Had thought I was in with a good chance of the fifa peace prize. Gutted tonight.

Telly, please, stop trying to make admin a spectacle.

It's very obvious that if any other prominent politician had been so racist in school that it's haunted 20+ former classmates ever since, it would be treated like a bigger deal. We should examine how and why "still being very racist four decades later" is acting as Farage's protective shield.

This has just reminded me that a Penny Lane bar has just rebranded itself "Eleanor Rigby's," proving that nobody ever pays attention to song lyrics.

Things that age me: - I call it the Milk Cup - I reference Doris Stokes when talking about the dead - I say "good as gold" and "all that old jazz" - I look fucking haggard

Steve Cropper. What an absolute legend. RIP

Satisfactory. #thefootball

1943. "Gobs of Shoestring Potatoes." I'm in.

I cannot believe I am being dragged into this again. Or, as John McClane says in his second Christmas movie, "How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?" garybainbridge.com/2017/12/06/c...

You can't argue with the Blyth Miners Wives, or Gary Bainbridge.

You were saying? The show that you didn't cancel before anybody had finished watching the first season is doing really well for you. What's that? It's built up a loyal audience who were able to bear with it even though season 4 was a bit pony but still good fun? Well, who'd have thought?

Every interview with Kemi Badenoch is like a Road Runner cartoon where her mouth is the Road Runner and her brain is Wile E Coyote.

I applied for a new passport on Tuesday afternoon and received it 15 minutes ago. No fast track, just the standard service. Can we put whoever runs the Passport Office in charge of literally everything?

New blog: Integration. Integration. Integration, that's what you need. www.merseytart.com/2025/11/inte... - where I discover that Tap & Go is less a leap forward for Merseyside, more a slight stumble.
