I genuinely believe sociology should be a core subject at schools. I did A-Level sociology and even the most rudimentary understanding of how media create/perpetuate moral panics is incredibly enlightening.

Aberdeen! See you this afternoon for comedy goodness at The Lemon Tree for #AberdeenComedyFestival, with Stephen Halkett MCing @cbthorburn.bsky.social and improvisers Comedy Sportz (@totallyimprovised.bsky.social)! 🎟️ www.aberdeenperformingarts.com/whats-on/com...

Feel like this should be a bigger story. All the media outlets love reporting on Reform don't they? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This isn't a surprise. A real mix of known IP and originals, the first great Superman flick since 2, original smart and sexy horror that got people talking, a flashy and exciting "underdog" sports movie and PT Anderson doing an action flick. A good year for Warner Bros. share.google/8sLaEaxZ0bh1...

I bought this yesterday and can confirm it is just as good as the score to the first game. It is a samurai score by way of Spaghetti Western and it soars. Can't wait to hear it in context.

We'll be launching Paradise Towers: Paradise Continuum, my next book for @cutawaycomics.bsky.social, on Kickstarter next month. Would any Doctor Who or Comics podcasts be open for having us as interview guests? #DoctorWho #Comics #Podcasts

THIS. ALL OF THIS.

Yes. So much of this would be clear academic misconduct or negligence if only people hadn't been led to believe investor money is a foolproof loophole for laws, norms, and accountability.

Man I wish Star Trek: The Last Starship issue one had double its already decent page count but it is already looking like a really interesting story. I need issue two now.

Existential Dredd “AM I THE LAW?”

Live your life in such a way that you never have to end an interview with "if we go light on the Kissinger part, I wouldn't complain"

This App Turns Your Photos into Music If You Want to Do That For Some Reason

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

What I'm wearing to the rapture.

If I could make computer games, tomorrow I would be releasing a walking simulator called "Nobody's Gone To The Rapture" but I can't so I won't.

Me on my way to the rapture

Making fish puns is tempting but cod knows this isn't the plaice.

Lads lads lads talking pictures is repeating eurotrash MY GOD

Dude I know idiocracy comparisons are overblown but come on

I don't like the term "Disney Adults" as a pejorative comparison to Harry Potter Adults because the former are fans of the stories, creators and worlds, the corporation itself means nothing to them. Plus they learn the lessons the art teaches vs HP fans who don't believe in anything.

Me, going to watch Thunderbirds in the cinema.

It's a movie about workers rights and bodily autonomy. And robots. It is great and I had a really fun time with it.

Never fully watched Strictly before but dipped in and out if told a dance was great/hilariously bad but we're watching tonight for Stefan Dennis as dilligent Neighbours fans. As there is no dancing happening we're mostly trying to guess who is already shagging.

It gets worse so enjoy the moment now.

A hill I will 100% die on is that media piracy is not a noble, morally good act. You don’t want to give your coin to corporate media? That’s great, actually. There’s plenty of independent, interesting art that’s better than corporate media and needs your support in a capitalist hellscape. BUT… 🧵

25? Time is cruel. I don't like it. But I did love Jackie Chan Adventures.

Reminder: Please don't buy a chromebook for your student children as they go to Uni. They are so functionally fucking useless.

Finally watching The Penguin and I will say what it has over The Batman (which, don't get me wrong, I really really liked) is that the scenes are lit so you can see them.

Well The Long Walk is both one of the bleakest and uplifting movies of the year. A movie very much of the moment.

Gonna go watch The Long Walk tonight with the dread that I'm going to come away thinking it's pretty tame stuff compared to actual America. youtu.be/vAtUHeMQ1F8

It’s been a real revelation over the last few years to discover how many people don’t enjoy using their own brains.

Prodigy is such an overlooked show but it is genuinely superb. If you never watched it, it does end on a satisfying enough note that you're not going to feel robbed for investing in it. Give it a shot.

I'm in a lot of local facebook groups because I have previously used them to promote shows. So I get to see all the bullshit happening in quite a few communities (especially across the North West). Saw an insult/dismissal I kinda want to put on a T-Shirt: "Go paint a roundabout, Keith."

I liked THE LONG WALK a lot but now I'm just counting the days until Mr. Beast misses the point entirely and stages his own version for content

Just a heads up: was talking to a pals mum, the most lovely person ever who had never really heard of Charlie Kirk but she HAD heard that a trans person killed him. That shit travelled far and wide.

This week we binged all four seasons of Barry. To cheer ourselves up.

BOOM! Studios is HIRING!!! We're looking for a talented, organized, and detail-oriented Assistant Editor with 1-2 years in editorial or a similar field! You will most likely be working directly with me on a variety of comic titles. Please visit the link to apply! bit.ly/42ooXLq #comicjobs

Timeline cleanse cos we all need it.

Behold, the best 9/11 humor of all time: The Onion's TV listings (my favorite row is MTV)

Doing a little horror piece with some first year uni students. The most horrifying thing? They were born in 2007.

Every day we stray further from the light of god

'Flow' cost $4M. 'Hundreds of Beavers' was shot in 12 weeks and cost $150,000. Artists rethink what movies are, techbros rethink how to shaft the people who make them. www.theverge.com/news/773584/...

We binged all of The Paper and it is really very good. Would some of the beats benefit from the series being a few episodes longer? Maybe. But it is a genuinely solid follow up to The Office and the best attempt at continuing the concept I've seen.

I assume @cavan.bsky.social has seen this? www.starwars.com/news/who-is-...

👀

Yes, yes, I know it's Star Wars not real life but it really is worth rewatching Andor Season 2 (especially "Who Are You?") in light of the US President trying to declare war on Chicago.

Watching The Assassination Bureau. A tonally wild film with a stacked cast led by the ever magnetic Diana Rigg.
