Whatever doesn't kill you makes you older

I'm in TV'S London tonight to see Colombia's finest Balthvs (again) - stood at the back, so when I saw the Villa result, I could give it MAXIMUM CELEBRATION - What an evening! #UTV

I watched 'The Last Sacrifice' last night; it falls between the two stools of 'true crime tale' and 'sociological overview', but it's definitely worth a watch - especially if you're our @generalwitch.bsky.social listner... youtu.be/rcfAuUjibAk?...

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Superb Villa weekend with the men, women, and U21's all winning - certainly takes the edge off a miserable winter Sunday #LovelyStuff #UTV

Industrial amounts of twaddle; we had to make this a two-parter...

Silver Shamrock company faces backlash after admitting they used AI in creating their big Halloween TV commercial

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to our latest Samhain issue of the General Witchfinders zine. We honestly couldn’t have done it without you. A terrifyingly talented bunch, one and all. Go follow them, check out their work, and tell them we sent you #GeneralWitchfinders #Zine #BritishHorror 🧵

A core teenage memory for me, and one of my favourite episodes of @generalwitch.bsky.social we've done: spotify.link/sQ6UqDFDEXb

BBC Archive just uploaded The Lonely Shore (1962), a surreal 15-minute short that takes the form of a scientific report from an abandoned and desolate future Britain. Written by Jacquetta Hawkes, an actual archaeologist, and directed by Ken Russell, an actual madman.

I've avoided mentioning Villa since the start of the season as it was depressing me frankly - very relieved that normal service is resuming! #AVFC

In TV's London tonight to see Suede at the Royal Festival Hall, and the view from the bar is lush as always, unfortunately had to wade through a disturbing amount of Flag Shaggers to get here

No Radiohead ticket code for me. Boooo. #Firstworldmiddleagedproblems

A great start to the day:

Yes please and thanks in advance: youtu.be/Vj7UAYV6ihs?...

ironically the education for its own sake, Enlightenment-coded, Great Books-ass liberal arts degree is one of the better employment bets you can make. learn how to read, write, think critically, develop curiosity so you can pick up new skills quickly, etc etc

@generalwitch.bsky.social Relevant to our interests... 🧐

I'm in the middle of my blissful summer holiday reading, and tore through @jonathanames.bsky.social's 'Karma Doll' in a day - I cannot get enough of this series; best hardboiled tales I've read in years

I read a lot of stuff saying how good Disco Elysium was, and I'm not usually an RPG person - but I took a punt on it, and it's taken over my life!

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar 2025: ohhh ok

BBC Four is bringing us some classic #Moviedrome intros to The Wicker Man and Don't Look Now before showings of the films themselves. Thursday 10 July is the date for your diary.

Great article from the BFI on one of the biggest influences on my teen years - Moviedrome (I wish I lived closer to London as this season looks fantastic) www.bfi.org.uk/interviews/a...

A week later, I'm still thinking about 28 Years Later (a sure sign of a great film) and I'm loving the brilliant analysis it's inspired. This week it's @roryjdoherty.bsky.social at the AV Club: The bloody spine of 28 Years Later is a death-obsessed Britain share.google/xUqF3EYHaUwb...

Masterpiece!

"Oh, hi Mr Randall, we were just wondering if you'd want to take part in 'Sponge the teacher' at lunchtime on-" Me: "Absolutely no way. Thanks!" #Miser

The whole AI thing really does come down to people who hate reading books and hate people who like reading books vs people who like reading.

Because #MadonnaAtTheBBC is on, it is my duty to post history's greatest promo pic.

RAGE RETURNS! On the day #DannyBoyle brings #28YearsLater to cinemas, we unleash our latest podcast episode on #28WeeksLater. Listen now — be a superspreader. Repost. Let’s go viral. tinyurl.com/28W33ksltr

For my @generalwitch.bsky.social followers, when you've seen 28 Years Later, this article by @blondekwaidan.bsky.social is brilliant and a must-read

I'm on episode 3 of the new Adam Curtis series 'Shifty' (fantastic) but this episode's unexpected jump scare? KEITH HARRIS AND ORVILLE MEETING GARY LINEKER

The ultimate single season show

Two of my favourites in one! #Banger youtu.be/ru5afNNSPeU?...

REALITY: Suspected Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter was an evangelical preacher, registered Republican, voted for Trump, and watched Alex Jones' Infowars. MAGA/FAR-RIGHT: "He'S a VioLEnt DeMocRatiC LefTISt aNtifA DeEp STate PsyOP" www.wired.com/story/psyop-...

Adam Curtis has a new show out tomo, Shifty, about how power shifted in Britain from 1979 - 2000. It's REALLY good. He's so great at bringing things in that shouldn't fit but do, like Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Ep5 with the Dome and subprime is devastating. Trailer: www.instagram.com/p/DJuTlbKx6P7/

For any fellow Twin Peaks fans, the NME (of all people) have done an interview with Mark Frost where he briefly discusses series 3... www.nme.com/features/tv-...

Farewell to another musical genius, Brian Wilson - thank you for the music, but also for this:

This got left in my classroom after they had a year 7 Life Skills lesson in here; the task is to put this tech in the order it was released - I've lived through all of this and I'm clueless *waves hands in the vague direction of the last 25 years*

Tonight's ten thousand step walk location - beautifully quiet out this evening (better choice than watching the England game too...)
