I’m legitimately astounded that some asshole comedy TikToker hasn’t (to my knowledge) made a copy of this sign, found a brick wall, filmed some content and made it look like their career is going A FUCKING SHIT TONNE better than is

I have dragged these around through three house moves out of a sense of obligation to my film and TV script library but I derived a great deal of pleasure from throwing them the fuck away just now

Disney have shown us who they really are countless times but we should have known the depths of their cowardice when then cut the shitting rainbow pony out of Bluey:

I found this quite fantastically misspelled school piece while tidying. In a way, it is more beautiful now that the mushy edifice of context has rotted away.

Today on ‘Scumbags all the way down…’

Pal shared a photo from the best job I ever had

Thinking of treating myself to a bit of me time before the kids get home. Might slam a Lemsip and finally make a start on this fun sounding solo RPG from @ursidice.bsky.social You’re a whale on a quest…I think.

What do people in your life act like honey, lemon and ginger (for a cold/flu) is some esoteric folk-wisdom that they’re letting you in on? Like…who doesn’t know that!? It’s like you mentioning cooking and them going, “Hey! You know what’s good for that?… (*looks furtively from side to side)…SALT!”

ME: Finally! I can unpack and display all these foundational books that have been in storage for so long and feel like my deeper, better self is here with me, in my new house, at last. ALSO ME: *opens yet another box of Neil Gaiman books and comics **sighs

I’m just going to say it - this deserved more

Many happy returns to my birthday twin, Jason Alexander. He remains, quite simply, the finest comedic actor of his generation.

When Disney finally buy The Church, they’ll make all this expanded universe bullshit non-canon

It’s my birthday and my friends are doing the important work of sending me photos of my salad days

Here's @regretteruane.bsky.social explaining why all you need at lunchtime is ten minutes of Brian Cant improvising wildly and whimsically whilst rifling through a junk shop in search of mismatched stock items with alliterative names. timworthington.org/2025/01/06/t...

“Percy….PERCY!! Quick; LICK ME OUT!!” - My eldest son, on this - morning of my 42nd birthday

Autism is caused by me. I did the tism. (This is a joke.)

My February energy has been challenged, of late, but I stand by it.

If people use The Rapture to get out of coming to my birthday drinks this Tuesday, there’ll be Hell to pay!

There’s something really satisfying about listening to an actual play TTRPG podcast for years when it SUDDENLY graduates to ‘individual episode art’

Hey, friends. Please remember that feeling bad does not actually make you a better person or help anyone. Decouple action from emotion. Do what you can to help while feeling as good as you can. People to object to you *feeling* happy, regardless of your actions, are being pointlessly cruel.

It’s rare that something like this gets past my obsessive need cataloguing my own childhood (though I knew exactly what year this was made from quirks of the animation). A quick wiki shows some absolute voice acting royalty showing up for this one!

Went for a much needed midnight stroll to clear out the cobwebs and came back with some S-tier wall treasure:

Writers should all be excited that Gen Z hate making or receiving voice calls so much that we can have this golden age of plot-assisting non-connectedness back soon.

“Daddy?” “Yes baby?” “Pretend you’re not here.” “…On it big guy.”

Way to go humans. Some times - just sometimes - you really don’t suck. Nice one guys

This. It’s very alarming that these baseline protocols seem to have fallen away and there’s this amnesiac fumbling to re-make a basic liberal consensus from whole cloth.

Went for a much needed midnight stroll to clear out the cobwebs and came back with some S-tier wall treasure:

LOL, fucking GREAT quote from Duchovny on the writer of this one…

Am proud of myself for prioritising my well-being and deciding (as part of our informal rewatch) to veto ‘The one where they rapidly age to death on a boat.’ in favour of the story that follows. It remains, IMO, the best episode of ‘The X Files’

UPDATE: This doesn’t happen because stuff like this happens instead, it seems. (Message from friend earlier apropos of nothing….)

Does mainstream broadcast TV still have adverts for music? Like, in the 00’s when there’d still be a bunch of ads per day, wanging on about Newton Faulkner or The Hoosiers or something? Is that still a thing?

My house is so structurally fucked that I legitimately get a tiny bit paranoid every time I open a window in case that was a load-bearing pane of glass.

Confession: outside of random in-store sessions and skirmishes, I never REALLY played Warhammer 40k. I do, however, have this bad boy of a relic on my shelf. My question is; could one still play something recognisable as the modern edition of the game using this? Follow up… anyone PREFER this?

The thought process behind using LLMs to do any of your shit for you:

this exists it is called thinking

‘Come friendly salmon mousse botulism’

From The Sunday Mirror, July 27th 1980. Found under my floorboards - just two minutes ago. Xx

This is randomly getting likes two months later and, you know what. THEY’RE RIGHT!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

Classic internet humour is iterative. It versions through phrasal templates and contexts - exploring further applications. It’s exactly how you’re taught to chase a game in improv, except it all gets forgotten. The very online are often just improv kids who’re obsessed with keeping receipts

This was, indeed, a great day. However, when the dust settled and he was still in office a month later… that’s about when I got my first whiff off how utterly fucked we all were, going forward.

Regardless, we should all be standing on our principles. It’ll be the only way to keep our feet dry when these assholes let the sea come for us.

Maybe she can finally return to her home planet now this vital task is complete

Mad how America made out that it had chalked the atomic bomb, Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement up to experience and then patted itself on the back (via film and TV) for 30 years for being so mature. But THEN got salty when the children dared to turn round and ask if, maybe, more could be done.

It's Friday night, and you know what that means! Time to put on a horse costume and stand motionless in my neighbor's garden for 6 hours

There’s, like, an entire genre of high-end classical theatre design that always gets my hopes up that The Kangs from Paradise Towers are getting the prestige stage treatment.

Small talk is agreeing that weather exists, while both of you silently hope the other one walks away first.

This is fucking POLITICS, goddamnit, not MORALITY. AND We NEED THE GODDAMNED HOUSE at the very least - and having the Senate would give us back the fucking country. PLEASE look at the long-term here. We are playing the LONG game. These traps are SO fucking obvious.
