I love Joseph Quinn, but George got done dirty here.

when you're entering hour four of arguing with someone online over the most miniscule detail

Just finished @gralefrit.bsky.social's superb 'Be Funny or Die', a guide to the art, craft, music, science and point of comedy that's smart, useful, unafraid of the dark and actually funny. It desperately needs a new publisher so it can reach more of the people who need it and Joel can make money.

Stealing someone else's content without credit and getting much bigger numbers? woah maybe this place IS as hot as old school Twitter (not cool @usili.bsky.social, @matthighton.bsky.social is brilliant)

There should be a rule that if you go on Desert Island Discs, your luxury item can’t just be “more discs”

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

Still on the Greek Myths. I feel if you'd lived with the name "Anius" you'd be careful when it came to naming your own children

Looking at that photo, is there any chance this is guerilla marketing for the new Super Mario movie

I had a busy Sunday, can you tell? 📸: @infinitebacklog.net

You had me at John Finnemore.

Ehh, close enough.

We’re watching His Dark Materials, which is excellent, but we got to the bit where Will says goodbye to his dad in the Land of the Dead, and I just broke down. Stupid grief. 😞

Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse The Hedgehog

Ten years since their split, I'm still mourning the loss of the spellbinding Paper Aeroplanes. The Day We Ran Into The Sea remains one of my favourite albums ever made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=regJ...

probably the most embarrassing thing on earth is having to answer questions from an electrician. “Where’s your emergency disconnect?” sir all i know is somehow we have put lightning inside the wires

I can't stop thinking about the Jet Lag The Game boys reviewing Tunnock's Caramel Wafers as part of their trip to Scotland. I actually cheered when they showed up on The Snack Zone. @thewheatgerm.bsky.social described them as "like if cardboard tasted epic". I'm so proud. 😄 youtu.be/-uQ5c-gl89A?...

You're watching BBC Scotland.

SEEMS BAD

Absolutely fascinating video by The Slo Mo Guys on how Nintendo’s Virtual Boy produced its images in 1995. It involved two mirrors and a single LED strip moving so fast, the guys had to film it at over 1,000,000 frames per second in order to see exactly how it works. youtu.be/jW7M8H99x7Y

Well, it's happened: all the Spice Girls are 50 or over. I told you this would come.

Oh, unfortunately I don't think it's for a bit, I think they all mean it

Video barely does justice.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Glaswegians marching on the planner as we speak. “The beatings will continue until mural improves…”

Playing Scrabble. It’s not going well.

This means that six years ago today, I got knocked out of Only Connect. Must reapply for more quiz shows. If only they didn't all require bloody self-tapes nowadays.

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Found this in my archive. HT to @pikminguts92.bsky.social for the original tweet. 🎷
