(being once again forced by my daughter to play as Pony Poophead, the mean pony who has poop on her head) I was meant for more than this. I should be fighting in a war

damn, that’s crazy justin. personally I’m so manly I can play with my kids for two, maybe three hours at a time

KS2 teachers! Are you doing any of the following topics? Roman Britain Aztec Empire Indus Civilisation Kingdom of Benin WW2 or the US Civil Rights Movement Magna Carta If so - TA DA! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand... (We also cover a load of other topics but I think those are the main KS2 ones)

birds do it bees do it even educated fleas do it let's do it let's fly into a window

The Muppets do The Thing (1982): a thread. “I don't want to stay out here anymore. I want to come back inside”.

It's Hayao Miyazaki's birthday! Celebrate by running very fast in the countryside after learning something weird has happened to your parents.

Ideal news in Private Eye, if you have a spare £65, a love of reading, and a keen interest in Lithuanian teenage pageant culture and its meticulous focus on hair.

Kid in town wearing a dinosaur onesie under a big winter coat. It looked excellent. (The tail!) It looked like a compromise between wearer and parent/guardian. It looked like the sartorial equivalent of @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social's bit about "quarter-past" bedtimes, ie evidence of NEGOTIATION.

First workshop of the year, starting off in FINE STYLE as the kids lead us all in stretches. Head tilt! Arm flap! Everyone lie on your back in a circle, scoot forward then out again, kicking one leg up while yelling "CONGA!" (This one looked AMAZING from above, full synchronised swimming goodness!)

//Thinks "this is Mistoffelees Erasure", accidentally comes up with excellent idea for jukebox musical//

It's delightful to know that, in the years since The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, such creatures still have solid hobbies.

ME (Terrified, tearfully repeating this over and over again under my duvet):

Every year chocolates get smaller and more expensive. Extrapolating backwards, in 1906 a Creme Egg would have been the size of Rochester Cathedral and they would have paid you 12 guineas to eat it.

Kid on the bus VERY KEEN to go upstairs. Mum insists they have to stay near the buggy. But promises they can go up when he's bigger. This seems to satisfy. "I'm little!" the boy declares, comfortably. Then asks for another cracker. (Second breakfast?) Strong possibility of a Hobbit sighting, here.

@petermcgladdery.bsky.social Thankyou kindly.

Not many people know that Hannah Montana has 49 other alter egos, such as Horegon Oregon, Helaware Delaware, Hexas Texas and Hawaii Hawaii.

New Year's Resolution! Figure out time-travel technology, to go play the insanely jaunty Must Be Santa youtu.be/a8qE6WQmNus?... to the audient who yelled 'Judas!' at Dylan for going electric.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more

@brainmage.bsky.social Figured you'd appreciate this...

Nice to find a tribute to Cecilia Giménez's incredible work in The Great British Bump-Off graphic novel. And nice to read on www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... that her fresco restoration hugely boosted tourism to Borja, raised €50,000+ for charity, and led to her own exhibition. A solid legacy, ma'am.

Highlights from The Art Of Encanto, a beautifully laid-out scrapbook of concept art for the movie. Tenderness! Awkwardness and excellent embroidery! Exuberant musicianship! All the LIFE in these!

i think and quote this all the time

NYE suggestion: In memory of the great and beloved Rob Reiner (and his wife Michele, his meeting of whom forced him to change the end of the movie) we're watching When Harry Met Sally this evening, starting the film at 10:30:27 so that the chime of the New Year bells line up exactly with tonight's.

The Thing is...

This is still so good.

An audient once grumped that our show wasn't as good as a Pixar movie (too short? live-action? not about bugs?) and it's criticism we bear in mind every time we don't spend $150,000,000+ on one gig.

Now THIS is a slinky outfit MADE for the stairs at the Met Gala!

@robinince.bsky.social This feels like something you'd enjoy, sir.

Anything rectangular and small my kid will pick it up and use it as “her phone”. Just now she showed me a magnet and said “grandma is calling me” then coolly tapped it and looked back at me and said “I’ll text her and see what she wants” 💀

Nice party game idea here if you can't face another round of the usual.

just emailed all my colleagues but instead of attaching the correct file with the pertinent details i seem to have sent all twenty of them this image of robin gibb:

Do you know Jeff? Which Jeff? Jeff down the rugby club? Naah, that's Geoff Bryant. Jeff who went out with your sister? Mate, no. Not Jeff Buckley! Of course not Jeff Buckley. Well which Jeff then?

We get the workshoppers to insult us teachers using a venomous tone and otherwise ordinary nouns. No swears in the class, see, but you don't need them to wound. Not when a child can lock eyes on yours and hissingly call you a collapsing camp bed. Or broken packet of Pom Bears.

My phone's photo app just told me all about it's great new ai art features

shared a room with my five year old during christmas travel and woke up every morning to her performing an original song called “I wonder if daddy is awake and can hear me singing”

@scriblit.bsky.social Tis the season to be happy and joyous, tralalaaaa
