Kicking off the autumnal viewing

🎵Molina, Alfred Molina, What are these strange enchantments that start whenever you're near? Molina, Alfred Molina, Why can't you whisper the words that my heart is longing to hear? You're magic to me, A beautiful mystery. I'm certain to fall I know, Because you enthral me so.🎵

No contest really

Watching THE MARVELS, which is perfectly enjoyable if you treat it as, like, a holiday special released straight to TV that's also a sequel to about five different other shows

i resent how every time i do an internet search for something now the browser takes a guess at explaining what i am searching for at me. i know what i am looking for actually, do not presume i need it explained, how insulting

In addition to Katie's point, what these takes all miss is a lot of people on the centre and left...haven't actually left X. Continues to be startlingly to me how many people just don't *notice* the degradation of their media environment.

I have a grim fascination with failed US remakes of British shows. They tried to remake Red Dwarf twice which I think is delightfully optimistic

Matcha is one of those things I'm just never going to believe anybody genuinely enjoys drinking. All of this growth is just from people being aesthetic on TikTok with their green matcha lattes and matching phone tchotchkes

Staring at this for a solid 30 seconds thinking it was a captcha

I have to admit I underestimated how much Elon buying Twitter would influence our politics - not because of its influence on ordinary people, which I predicted accurately as "significant but not extraordinary," but because I didn't realize how addicted all our journos and politicians are to Twitter

As Bluesky destabilizes a few people have asked me if I'm on Mastodon and look, I don't know if I'm Mastodon. No one knows if anyone is on Mastodon.

Eyes Wide Shut was a cautionary tale about renting a costume

HERACLITUS: You cannot step in the same river twice ME: Oh yeah? (quickly running downstream and easily jumping back into the same part)

you busy? the monolith from 2001 A Space Odyssey is here. it wants us to—yeah, beat each other to death with bones

oh, the mysterious knocking on the walls at night? yeah, the guy who was murdered in this house loved knocking. he loved it so much

People getting the internet at home meant young men no longer got a basic grounding in arthouse cinema while looking for nudity on TV.

Playing that Blue Prince game you were all on about a few months ago. So far it seems like it's a very slow and unfulfilling jigsaw puzzle

I will no longer be skating in the new Skate game. I will be doing this and only this.

My friend just used the phrase, “When the world was normal bad.”

[bravely] as someone on the more diminutive end of the scale, I don't mind a bar queue, as opposed to standing at the bar bouncing up and down like a Hobbit trying to get attention in between a multitude of Gavin from sales who are all 6ft 6

Redditors getting down to the serious concerns here

"Fewer ad breaks for this long video", and other lies

Quick question, how does one "wield a toolbox"

Can't decide which is the funniest part of this, either the fact that the regular guy without the Meta specs has no problem with the ambient noise and is just carrying on as normal, or the fact that the Meta specs guy has willingly blanked out the sound of the waitress telling him his table is ready

The creepiest guy in your office is already looking to preorder these

folk horror be like "here's some twigs arranged in a different than usual way"

Feels like this becomes more plausible by the day

someone once complimented me on adapting to bsky so quickly adn im jsut like yeah i bet the rats figure out the buttons pretty quick too

DS9 DOODLES #startrek #ds9

The most important issue facing this country today is that Rod Liddle can't get university speaking gigs

Ideally a Bruce Springsteen biopic should be really good for about 2 hours but keep going for another 90 minutes until all your good will dissipates and you've missed the last bus home.

My girlfriend cut my brake lines she’s such a Scorpio

those beautiful naked women have made a compelling argument i am going to steer this ship into the rocks

robert redford was so handsome that nobody ever talked about his debilitating eye twinkle.

Just realised who Kash Patel reminds me of

every headline today: "Man Who Could Absolutely Get It Dies at 89"

Telling everyone across the US that flags are being flown at half-mast for Robert Redford

Ok

extreme gen x douglas coupland energy on display. dan is experiencing Wage Slavery (job with full benefits and pension plan but you have to go to it)

Roald Dahl frantically cribbing from Austrian church records

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

Everybody should probably brace themselves for the headlines describing Robert Redford as "Marvel actor"

Robert Redford taught me it was ok to be weird

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told analysts that people without smart glasses may one day be at a "significant cognitive disadvantage" compared to those who do use the tech

Sneaking around at night taking down all the St George flags and replacing them with poppies

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

Every day is a struggle to remain fun and flirty as events continue to occur

"We have found forensic evidence of the note"

a pair of baby shoes with a ton of wear and tear on em tells a pretty sad story too. what could this baby have been running from
