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

Absolute icon - Farewell Prince of Darkness

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 Triffid and Lagoon Nebulae, by @vrubinobs.bsky.social.

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

When you’ve watched The Stone Tape on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social this Fri at 9pm — read the Blu-ray review below 👇 — tuck yourself up in bed, pop in your headphones, and haunt your mind with our podcast discussion of this classic tinyurl.com/GWstone #StoneTape #NigelKneale #TheSoundRatsMake

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...)

8 days to go! And a photo from the book every day! Triumph Herald in Ynyshir. Only £750 to go to double the original target! 🤯 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/valleys-ph...

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

The endless horror of ads on any podcast that is part of the iHeart radio stable - ugh #Sisyphean

RIP to a real one; thanks Sly

'Sister Christian' by Night Ranger came on shuffle on a playlist on my drive home, so by law I now have to watch Boogie Nights

Incredible headline.

I've got a new teaching job starting at the end of August, (Currriculum leader at a 6th form college - very exciting) but lawks the vetting process has gone up a notch since I last did this - feel like I'm applying for MI5! #granular

Blue Velvet is effective in part because it captures the dreamlike horror of your friend taking you to see one of their friends and it's just weird as hell

"It's a win for football" says Rio, as he admires the youth of PSG's side. Let's just forget the obscene advantages all nation state clubs get. We'll just pretend that isn't a thing.

Oooh, new Adam Curris incoming: youtu.be/AQc8625Y03g?...

Rather than doing the same effusive post every week, I thought I'd wait until the end; #Andor was superb, and I immediately wanted to watch the series from episode 1 again - bravo to everyone involved

Our twaddle-heavy podcast has now spawned a second publication (massive thanks to everybody that contributed to this one)
