Remember when Richard Nixon accidentally broadcast his smoking gun tape to the nation and Nixon said 'I didn't do that, there are no tapes it's all a hoax' and the media and the politicians and all his supporters said oh ok fair enough and everything went back to normal?

So one of the biggest trends on evangelical TikTok right now is folks prepping their houses for "whoever might move in" after they ascend—you’ll get a free house, yes, & you’ll also be getting a house full of charts & pamphlets walking you through the end times—so that’s handy!

A thing I've found out today - or maybe I knew it and just managed to forget about it, which surprises me - apparently at some point during their friendship, a spirited argument broke out between Arthur C Clarke and C.S Lewis. Clarke was irritated by the theology in Lewis's Science Fiction (more)

Now I'm getting conflicting reports about whether the Rapture will be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and, look, I know that TECHNICALLY no man knows the hour of His coming and all, but if we could actually pin this down on the schedule it'll help me plan the rest of my week, thanks

Younger people won't believe this, but during the Second World War, Disney put out cartoons about how it was your patriotic duty to stand up to fascists, even noting that we'd each have to take a financial hit if we wanted to win that struggle. No, really!

Lovely stuff

It has long been my opinion that Hollywood is frittering away the generational dance talents of Channing Tatum & Tom Holland by not putting them in a musical together. Not a remake, but akin to Gene Kelly & Donald O’Connor in Singin’ In The Rain. I strongly believe this would make a billion dollars

Highland cows are a breed of rustic cattle raised in Scotland. They have a double coat: a long, coarse outer coat & soft, wooly inner coat, making them well-suited to rainy, windy and cold mountain slopes. Genetic variations in their MC1R gene can produce ginger cows, just like in humans.

That's Bowie for you. Always shrouding his motives in mystery. I mean, who can say what he was singing about on that "Andy Warhol" tune?

People praise Mr. Show sketches for having modern-day relevance all the time, like when the "blow up the moon" bit went viral a few weeks ago. To me, THIS remains the show's endlessly resonant, weirdly poignant masterpiece. That closing line is me, every time I piss away an hour getting mad online.

Taking official photos of my chocolates for the website is always tricky. They are so shiny you can always see reflections, and without fancy equipment it’s a game of trial and error. In this one, you can actually spot what a chocolate sees in the final moments before I eat it.
