I'm watching this now and he's not wrong.

Has anyone here used teemill.com ? If so, what's your experience been?

A great explainer to a voting membership that feels opaque but isn't once you know. And as Molly says, more voters means stronger, more equitable awards so if you can afford the entry (yes, I know) it's a good thing to do.

On this basis I think it's reasonable to assume that all ICE agents are actually Rob Schneider and should be referred to as Rob Schneider until they offer definitive proof that they aren't actually Rob Schneider.

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

Hello! I’ve reopened the #BadgeWolf Etsy shop with 8 #DoctorWho x Sugar Smacks designs. These are loose-packed (no backing cards) and priced a bit cheaper as a result. Take a look if you’re interested: badgewolf.etsy.com

Just finished rewatching Déjà Q. I think it may be my favourite Next Gen episode. Just immensely entertaining from start to finish with John De Lancie turning everything up to 11. He's just so damn funny.

"A History of Warner Bros. Through Mergers" Because no one else would make it, I decided to. Yoicks, and away! #WarnerBros #Netflix #VideoEditing

This keyboard is actually an entire computer. Just plug it into a monitor and you’re set.

People who can do this sort of thing with coloured pencils are sorcerers to me. It's just incredible

Fans of these things get so caught up in whatever theories they have for a story ending that when their singular vision isn't completely vindicated they declare it a failure and badly written. There is a modern fan entitlement to an ending they specifically want rather than the story being told.

Okay, I'm kind of nonplussed at the prospect of Avengers Doomsday and I was thinking about why. It comes down to the total lack of proper slow burn investment in characters this time around. There's no sense that this phase of films has been building to anything.

I'm so delighted that I complied with the Online Safety Act, blocking an accessibility feature on my site from UK users to 'protect the children' while Elon Musk's site can just generate CSAM with total impunity.

AAA gaming seems really determined to have as little involvement as possible from people who actually want to play games. Their ideal model is people pay 80 quid, put in the disc, it immediately declares them a winner then plays a 15 hour cut scene showing you what might have happened.

Yes, because if there's one thing this country needs it's a Dickensian Baker's boy being as effective on the world stage as a parachute on a submarine.

This would only be interesting to me if it was called The Hunt for Gollum October and was a tense fantasy submarine drama with Frodo as a Hobbit Jack Ryan.

Even if the UK did choose to take a stand against US aggression it wouldn't be worth much as the military would be completely compromised by US tech companies owning its data and influencing decisions.

"I went on Twitter and I saw all these terrible posts" Oh fuck man really? Did you also go to the dump and find a bunch of rotting food? Why are you making it my problem now.

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)

Well, that’s autocorrect for you.

Number 625: the Judi Dench audio guide to erotica which consists solely of the sound of her flipping pages and occasionally muttering “…filth”

I snapped this right up. Bunch of great offers in here.

Why say “coordinated assaults” when “carefully Orca-strated” was right there.

The problem is that the entire NATO setup was predicated on the US not being run by a megalomaniac who treats international law like serving suggestions. The moment any government calls them out on that NATO is basically done and no one wants to be the country that triggers that.

#OnThisDay in 1985: Street Hawk debuted on ABC. Rex Smith was Jesse Mach, ex-cop turned vigilante riding a jet-powered motorcycle to fight crime. Tangerine Dream theme, wild tech, rough scheduling, and demise due to TGIF—only 13 eps, but pure ’80s style.

Here’s an interview I did that talks (among other things) of how I was commissioned to write #Blakes7 “Warship” for @bigfinish.bsky.social peteranghelides.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/h...

Labour's only defence strategy at this point seems to be trying to paint both Reform and the Greens as equally crackpot fringe parties to dissuade floating voters. The problem is that Labour's majority wasn't an endorsement of Labour it was a rejection of the Tories which isn't the same thing at all

And I say "Fuck you, make me"

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

This is The Shop Around the Corner but with bird calls. Someone make this romcom!

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Happy new year. Now strap in, it gets a little bumpy from here on out

Prediction: the London fireworks will feature a giant floating drone Paddington head like in Zardoz.

Watching the TNG episode As Loud as a Whisper. Where a deaf mediator had a chorus of people. One representing his academic intellect, one representing harmonious wisdom and one that speaks for his dick. Counsellor Troi is understandably irritated that only his dick seems to talk to her.

Looks like the Labour Party's latest attempt to impress people is coming across about as well as when Bruno Kirby took over from Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

Someone's on r/knitting asking why there aren't any knitting patterns for bodies (y'know, from the 90s), and first off OH HELL NO, and second, I feel like we haven't talked about how bodies are the most cursèd garment from our teens and its tomb should have that "this is not a place of honour" sign

"Crossing the Road With Robert Preston" Robert Peston asks the important political questions on the nation's mind while he and his guest wait awkwardly at a pelican crossing waiting for the lights to change.
