Finally saw ‘The Holdovers’. Man, that Paul Giamatti just LOVES being a prickly, functioning alcoholic/stunted romantic who goes on the road with a wild card whom he has to cover for and then starts over (while enjoying the posh booze finally). Oh and then someone encourages him to write the book.

They’re building the data centres to store themselves.

I would watch a limited prestige comedy/drama about the doomed development and production of ITV’s ‘Ice Warriors’.

Don’t like to dwell too much on the ol’ ‘wish we’d known I was ND as a kid’ thing but… …I mean, if I’d just TOLD someone that I soothed myself to sleep/disassociated in class by running the entirety of the AXIS Chemical factory in my head, we might have gotten somewhere:

Took me a sec to realise that this fucked plaster in my in-laws back room wasn’t some kind of contrasting (yet complimentary) landscape mural

Happy Post-Christmas ‘Maybe I WILL read this book!’ Optimism-zenith, to all who celebrate

Bringing this energy into 2026

Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."

I took two days off the ADHD meds so I could do incidental Christmas drinking throughout. Everything was at least 40% harder and I was just really tired all the time. Back on the meds today and it’s like the climax of Superman 2 when he gets his powers back.

HE👏🏻IS👏🏻A👏🏻MINOR👏🏻!!!

I’ve started to pray really hard and often for hell to be real

Sad to report that Barney Walsh’s eyebrows have progressed to stage 3.

My brother is slightly high and texting me about how much he’s enjoying ‘Godzilla: Final Wars’

Colonel: Snake, this is Yule Tideman. He'll be helping on this mission YT: You're carrying the Synapse Augmenting Nano Tech Armament, or SANTA Snake: SANTA? YT: That's right. SANTA will provide PRESENTS or COAL, depending on your GOODNESS meter. Snake: Goodness. Hmmn.

Got socks, jeans, a kitchen knife and (finally) new headphones. I may now continue about my business.

Man… I really wish the future had happened before I got old enough to become afraid of it

This is my nog. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My nog is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

The ‘Scissors for Christmas?’ discourse seam I’ve discovered has really been delivering…

And lo - there was nog

I have never nogged before. Witness me as I go forth unto nog.

When you decide to, semi-ironically, speak in defence of a guy who bought his wife a set of fancy scissors for Christmas on Instagram…

A friend asked what three concerts you would go to if you had a time machine and I accidentally bodied myself in recollecting the greatest dropped ball of my early 20’s

I like how Facebook routinely invites me to celebrate my little triumphs at this time of year #gratitude #blessed

Night night x

I’ve said some variant of this before but… we really need to start keeping some of this shit to ourselves. Like….if the reply-guys hadn’t clocked that we all knew about the fedora thing and taken them off, they might have remained easier to spot.

Man… this big reimagining of ‘Stickman’ that Christopher Nolan’s doing looks a bit much!!

Mind you, the menu on their website is pretty sensational…

I think I may have found the (hitherto only theorised) ‘worlds most annoying instagram account’…

For my poor, culturally deprived, fellow Brits who grew up without Transatlantic ally smuggled VHS of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse; I’m happy to report that the famous Christmas special is now on YouTube in all its ultra-camp glory xxx

Did this yesterday Criticisms has come from thinking it’s a full theatre piece rather than a game. From my perspective, it’s undeniable that they’ve developed this thing and laid it over the top of ‘The Burnt City’ but without, convincingly, meshing its vibe & aesthetics to their standing set 1/3

Just going to leave this here

Maximum respect to Abel, 8 (sic) who, not only, chose to give us Godzilla but decided to represent for failed 90’s Hollywood Godzilla.

This is true across all our endeavours. In acting we are exhorted towards neutrality as a hallmark of professionalism. Malleable baseline is ostensibly considered ‘better’ by our pay masters. My darlings, go forth and make weird choices. Unbridle your weirdness x

New meme format about the melancholy, late middle-aged man who lives in my bathroom tiles dropping today:

…erm.

Maximum respect to Abel, 8 (sic) who, not only, chose to give us Godzilla but decided to represent for failed 90’s Hollywood Godzilla.

Now that this data is available, it must - surely - be possible to simulate building shadow positions in real time and so deliver on my great app idea. tubvsig-so2sat-vm1.srv.mwn.de?fbclid=IwVER...

The only thing that could make this more delicious would be if Walliams had ALSO deeply wronged Lily Allen

Can't believe it's Christmas, and David Walliams is going to be visited by three Ghostwriters to show him the error of his ways.

Russell Brand will be baptising David Walliams before the end of 2026

I’ve a dear friend who lives in Pembrokeshire. Her 14 year old son is obsessed with FRIENDS and is soon to do his first solo trip to London to go to the FRIENDS experience. More power to the lad but… that’s so mad isn’t it? That’s like teen-me bussing it to Manchester to go to a M*A*S*H exhibit!!

Michel Gondry’s ‘SAW’

Found the comic I’d randomly bought around the time we adopted the dog. It’s where I got the name. It’s a kind of lo-fi, alt take on Superman. A ‘yeah but what if he just stayed in Kansas - doing good deeds on the quiet?’ Just this big, beautiful, gentle lunk.

I’ve been tremendously impressed with the quality of production and story telling coming out of this show and this one-off, seasonal ghost story is no exception. Lovely ‘recovered audio’ two hander with a great mystery hook and a legit chill at the end. Cracking.

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls
