So Jon does a thread like this every year, but the transition in this one from Serious Book; Serious Book; Serious Book; Specific Arc Warhammer Novel 1; Specifc Arc Warhammer Novel 2 etc makes this year my favourite. And he’s gonna do all 62 of them. Magnificent.

my friend thought I was lying to him about a sousaphone being called a sousaphone. as if i would ever lie about the accomplishments of American hero John Philip Sousa

Outstanding. And relevant to my own PhD recruitment challenges. (not the people wanting to have sex with me bit. I think.) and as someone whose ethics board also got a bit nervous around the subject of sexuality and traumatised church gays (sensu lato)

Absolutely NO BIAS toward number 9 on the list 😅🎣 www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/most...

NEW WRITING: On Curry Barker's excellent horror movie Obsession, objectification and the alienating horror of the contemporary social world. Very excited to be back at @currentaffairs.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/obsessi...

I'm inviting people to be involved in my PhD project! I've been researching UK white-led megachurch movements for nearly ten years now and I'm ready to hear other people's stories. Please do share this invite if you think you know anyone who'd like to be involved.

Wee reminder to my trans & NB siblings: You live rent free in the heads of some seemingly very angry and unhappy folk … Don’t let them live rent free in yours. Get on and live your life and feel the joy …

It really is going to take unusual solidarity--we need people popping out of stalls like gophers to support sisters. By all means keep your pants (UK) down: DO YOU NEED A COMPARISON HERE I GOT ONE. Really reverse that public shame.

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

It's round the corner...

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

Someone just told a pro AI bro in my comments: I’m not using it because it’s not smarter than me, I can see why you like it though.

I yelled at the thumbnail - that IS one of the correct answers of all time

Wait, @theferocity.bsky.social mentioning CAPITALISM A HORROR STORY in relation to the new Devil Wears Prada movie and how capital hollows out the world to create shambling zombies of value has absolutely just made my whole week 👻👻👻👻

PM Streeting would fail to deliver Labour’s manifesto promise to ban conversion therapy. He’s got ties to pro-conversion therapy groups, has praised their work, and incorporated their recommendations into the NHS to disastrous effect.

Bloody LOVED this article by @thelitcritguy.bsky.social in @currentaffairs.bsky.social. Gothic allusions, incisive analysis of the banality of the worst aspects of our culture, wrapped in some delicious writing. Thanks @robfirth.bsky.social for the link www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

I have been rewatching through Stargate SG1 for the first time since it aired and I loooove it :) My sis and I used to call it the forest sci fi show (little did we know I’d end up moving to that forest planet here in British Columbia!). Such a fun bunch of characters, stories, and just good sci fi!

Honestly I was only interested in it due to Caleb Hearon’s involvement, but this is actually gonna get me to watch it

Incredible scenes here as we receive an Atlantic sturgeon from @palaeoplushies.com look at itttt

This has always sort of been my de facto logo because I printed it on my envelopes. It's a self portrait of me as a tyrannosaur trying my hardest to sculpt a self portrait out of cardboard, popsicle sticks and toilet paper tubes.
