My first and probably only football-related post. Nice.

Nice to see Chris Moyles enjoyed the caricature I created of him and Dominic Byrne. This was drawn using Posca pens as part of a promo campaign. They're fun to use. #caricature #art

OMG. So in November 2022, when I was at a party at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate Trump running again for president (yes), I met this guy who I described thusly... WHO IT TURNS OUT HE IS THE GUY TRUMP HIRED TO CLEAN UP THE REFLECTING POOL, CEO of the company that owns "Green Water Solutions" I am dying 🤣

@tealcartoons.bsky.social Loved hearing the response of Chris Myles and Dominic Byrne to your caricature of them on Radio X this morning!

Jack sums up Starmer's failure in nine perfect posts

The fantastic John Higgs has used a couple of my tarot cards to illustrate a bit about Doctor Who. I really should consider printing another pack of those. They are really popular… johnhiggs.substack.com/p/octannual-...

An enjoyable and interesting video from a brilliant and giving person.

Got to love Acaster

Really strong thread. How predictable, cynical, short-sighted, credulous and/or stupid is Starmer.

Unlike irrevocably right-biased BBC News, it's always comforting when the movie schedulers on the BBC put on a film that represents the current times. Tonight - Children of Men. (Released 21 years ago but set in 2027)

Exactly. Everything is wrong about Starmer's plan. And those whose situation might most benefit from circumvent may find themselves least able to take the steps to do so.

This is nuts. Yes we need better protections online, but this is a massive overreach by Starmer. For many young people, especially marginalised ones such as trans and neurodivergent, online spaces can be a safe place for them to develop a genuine support community www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Wait, the social media ban is a ‘nightly curfew’? Who’s going to check/enforce that?

Enjoyable as usual. Sample line re: Starmer using X: "It’s as if Churchill had done a deal with the German bombers dropping propaganda leaflets over wartime Britain to chuck a small percentage of anti-Nazi ones into the mix as well. Idiot."

Ugh, just watching some old Bullseye when now Terrible TERF and then Atmosphere Vacuum Sharron Davies turns up. Thankfully missed most of it whilst writing.

So important to look after our mental wellbeing when the world and our lawmakers, agitators and everything that impacts on us is so shit. Enjoy the things that soothe. Don't feel bad to seek happiness.

Russell T Davies has just shared this on Instagram.

So...the originators of the nudity detection software which UK gov mandated today say this is all God's doing, so it's a good thing there isn't a Christofascist regime anywhere looking for technology partners or anything like that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkPm... h/t @owenboswarva.bsky.social

Enjoyable article. I've been meaning to read Jonathan's book as well as rewatching Hamish Macbeth (not seen it since it first aired but still lives with me). Have finally added the shoe to my iPlayer Watchlist :-)

A fantastic moment just now as Grotbags (in Carol Lee Scott form) appears on Bullseye

Post an album you've listened to 100 times.

Are those some trans pride colours towards the bottom left of your presumably AI image? If so please break the Labour trend and affirm that Trans Rights are Human Rights. (Or something similar). Also, change party, or change your party.

morning

Watching a lot of comfort TV to help soothe this week. Friday Night Dinner still a near perfect sitcom (with caveat x). Roisin Conaty and Sarah Pascoe's Zero Stars on TLC is a wonderful travelogue - friendship, no cynicism, and a lovely window on the world. And lots of Steve Backshall.

Unnecessarily offensive from the Virgin TV EPG writers

I absolutely loved the first two series of The Terror - transported me so completely to different times and places. Can't wait for the Devil In Silver - hope it again lands on the BBC in the UK.

Wise words.

One thing I've noticed about the GC / TERF types currently replying on BlueSky about trans stuff in the UK is that they've got **really** shit profile pictures - not much more than a quick clipart really. That goes for **all** of them.

Cursed by my brain which brings, for example, 'Nick Berry is the Harbour Master' at times such as this (The Expanse rewatch S2E10)

Hard agree

An enjoyable uplifting read, especially in these darker times

In Chris Mason’s defence, i would find it hard to do that job with a severe brain injury or whatever’s up with him

I so love the photo - he looks like he's enjoying it :-)

I was a MASSIVE Nirvana fan before Kurt's death,and maybe because of a lot of stuff about myself, I've **never** listened to a Foo Fighters album (despite having enjoyed everything I've heard on the radio). Good luck me!

My most played game in a *long* time!

Why’s an American pressure group that helped overturn Roe v Wade suddenly taken an interest in your local park? Anti-rights movements won't stop with trans people, and we must hold back the tide. Get behind @transsolidarity.bsky.social’s campaign: https://protectparkrun.uk/

Name a video game you’ve completed more than six times.

there's something disgusting about cis ppl using hrt for sexual kicks while calling me a pervert for using it to reduce suicidal ideation.

On the new Bubblegun, Third Bird pays us a visit, direct from the set of Sesame Street, where he's been receiving dental treatment. Now on YouTube and all podcast vendors: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXXp... open.spotify.com/episode/0rn3...

An awfully good cast list for the Rogue Trooper adaptation. Hopefully this will be even better than the 1987 Games Workshop boardgame (which was excellent)

Well blow us down! We've been nominated for MORE #GoldenLobes this year and we wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to the nominations! We've got "Best Earworm", "Beyond The Feed" and "Behind The Scenes Hero" to nervously await the outcome! @cheerfulearful.bsky.social #podcast @giddyauntcomedy.bsky.social

Thank you @thespaceshipper.com for the recommendation to watch the final Clone Wars story (S7E9-12) ahead of Maul. I've never watched TCW despite loving all live action Star Wars films and series. 133 episodes seemed a bit too much to catch up on. However watching the final four now - phenomenal.

A fantastic piece of work exploring a game that truly deserves it :-)

It's finished! The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond's epic game, is now fully documented. * 41,902 lines of lovingly annotated source code * 51 deep dives (116,240 words) * Buildable repository * 100% handcrafted AI-free content * 7 months’ work thesentinel.bbcelite.com #retrocomputing #C64 #BBCMicro

Watching on a loop

Looks like I've missed pretty much all of the Artemis mission, but then I missed all of the UK COVID lockdown broadcasts, so pros and cons.

I've been waiting for enough time and mental capacity to get started in 1000xRESIST having picked it up recently on Switch. This (and the related comments) has reminded me I that I shouldn't hold back.

I endorse this message. And so does my doctor.

Charlie Skelton is such a good writer of the barbed joke. AND he's been into space long before the current Artemis lot (ref: C4's Space Cadets)
