Filled with unbridled rage this morning. Hormonally speaking. Bodes well for a day in the office.

I don’t think anyone has been shunned so badly by their own fan community as Gaiman has, mainly because a) it was such a massive betrayal on what we thought he stood for and b) it rapidly became clear that the clues were in his work all along.

Love the French crowds. Always so welcoming #FRAvENG #W6Nations

The Left Hand of Darkness Middlemarch Great Expectations

Seriously, this shit is why I actively avoid anything he is associated with. I don't want a single penny of my money funding this shithouse bullying women through the courts.

I need Eurovision to sort their shit out and boot a certain country from the competition. I hate missing out on my favourite nonsense but I cannot endorse it right now. Just going to stream all the artists instead.

Watching Cranford. The phrase “it is so much cheaper in Cheshire” was uttered and oh how I laughed.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

I was not expecting Spitting Image's The Chicken Song to make an appearance in Rivals, but I am happy about it.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

I love this movie so much. One of my fellow DnD PCs is called Ulrick and it takes everything in my power not to say "vooooon Liiiiiiichtensteiiiiiin" every time it's said.

New Rivals! Huzzah.

I'm in the kind of mood where, whenever anyone asks to me to actually do my job, I am filled with unbridled rage at the audacity.

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

Lol

Instead of invasively asking who's top or who's bottom people should start asking women friends who's the granny weatherwax of the friend group and who's the nanny ogg

Seeing the chat about it being Eric Morecambe’s 100th birthday and can’t let it pass without imploring you to watch Eric and Ernie. It’s SO good and Daniel Rigby’s performance as Eric is outstanding. It’s not on iPlayer but does appear to be on YT in full m.youtube.com/watch?v=YMCH...

...all I'm saying is that BARB AND STAR MEET THE WOLF MAN should not be out of the question.

Husband briefly mentioned the Odyssey trailer and then got blasted a full on Epic Literature lecture from yours truly. Ooooops.

My favorite thing about Mr. Blobby is how whenever Americans find out about him they take psychic damage

Why is Brett Ratner controversial? I mean how bad could he … oh

Well, happy fourth anniversary Bonnie

Zohran Mamdani inherited a $12 billion budget deficit and brought it down to zero in 6 months without cutting essential services by taxing billionaires. This is why they were in a panic about his candidacy.

Hear me out... maybe we should try chaos with Ed Miliband?

One good thing you can say about the UK is that we're spoilt for metaphors

Don't get me wrong, I loathe Starmer's spinelessness as much as the next sentient being, but fuck me, I do not want yet another leadership contest. It doesn't solve anything, it just slaps a new face on it.

When we say medical misogyny kills people, this is the shit we mean.

Wes Streeting is already facing growing calls to stand down as PM

My dad and his partner are currently on holiday in Croatia and he keeps sending absolutely gorgeous pictures of stunning landscapes and descriptions of the incredible food. And you can really go off some family members you know.

So the statue-pfp crowd on The Bad Place are Having a Moment about the depiction of Achilles (image as a representative example). But the first guy to subvert Achilles was...Homer. Achilles isn't intended as some uncomplicated role model; that Alexander treated him as one is kinda a red flag.

That's enough internet for me today.

If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

Me: (Smart, looking at the most devastating evidence imaginable that my smart plan is an incredible, historic disaster) I was even more right than I suspected

I need to keep believing this is just a reactionary wave that will eventually lose momentum and die on its arse. Because otherwise it’s just too depressing.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

"Haha, this will show Keir!" - the british public, as it stabs itself in the dick

This. He also falls asleep a lot at crucial points and wakes up like

A reminder that this is why we make fun of The Odyssey. The book would not exist if Odysseus was not such a complete chaos goblin who was busy causing problems for himself by arguing with Gods and being a shit navigator. There is no way to make an extremely serious movie out of this material.

I will still judge you if you engage with this transphobic trash for free

The Dreamless is out today! Please enjoy this picture of me embracing my new book baby while Skeletor photobombs ❤️

Literally the best email I've ever received. No notes.

The UK is in a difficult sitution with no easy solutions but one of the many unforgivable things about Starmer's Labour, and perhaps the most irritating, is that they've grasped absolutely none of the few low-hanging fruits to be had: like repealing the stupid voter ID legislation.

I just want to read my book or play medieval knight dress-up with my bisexual disaster Henry of Skalitz. Is that too much to ask?

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

This is like "when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer" but for self humiliation.
