Neil Coyle, MP for Bermondsey & Old Southwark, didn't mess about in a letter to Farage explaining Parliamentary procedure...

HEY HEY it's NEWS 'O CLOCK. 'EARTH MUST DIE' is coming out on the 27th of Jan, which is alarmingly soon! Please pop over here and wishlist it, and do share if you're able. Thank you. store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

I remember reading some weird blog post by Scott Adams where he said he'd once been recruited by the government to solve some incredibly tricky comms problem they had, and nobody else could see the answer. But it was too secret to say what it had been.

Unless I'm reading this wrong, "we'll get started in a decade once we've completed this other very complicated infrastructure project, which will definitely happen on time" isn't the most inspiring news.

Finally catching up and watching The Studio. It's obviously brilliant. I'm also realising that almost all of the dumb joke movies they're making are things I would absolutely pay to watch. Jonny Knoxville in a horror comedy about diarrhoea zombies? Sign me up!

That would not have been my guess for the top outcome!

Huh.

Doesn't this seem like pretty weird timing?

Hey hey blueskyers. Would love suggestions of places to eat and things to see in Lisbon. Going there for my wife’s birthday. Whats the lowdown? Shares welcome.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

This may not be the hottest of takes but Casablanca is a really good movie

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Putting an ad break in 10 minutes before the end of ET is just outright cruelty

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

Time dilation could definitely make for some fun tricky choices in an RPG, I like the sound of this. (Although it does make me want someone to just do a Forever War adaptation) www.eurogamer.net/sci-fi-rpg-e...

Wake Up Dead Man: the mystery plot maybe got a bit too convoluted and explain-y by the end. But the actual story, about balancing faith and rationality, justice and mercy - above all grace - is so perfectly done. That phone call scene, just remarkable.

Still funny to see how they distinguish between "illegal content" and "content that needs to be removed under local laws".

One aspect of having kids they don't tell you about: you have to watch most movies across two evenings, with the hour or so you get after they're asleep. Quite frustrating when it's a good movie!

Overheard in the supermarket. Two teenagers. 1: 'Where's Dad?' 2 (with ineffable weariness): 'In the cheese aisle, having the time of his life.'

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

There should be a TV show called Stupid Games where you win stupid prizes.

So it turns out if you pre-book an Uber sometimes they just don't bother. Fascinating.

I often wonder if random lottery would be a better way to pick our MPs. Starting to think it might be true for the England cricket team too.

ROOOOOOOOOOOT!

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...

Hooray! The first of the Thanksgaming 2025 posts is up on Kotaku, with an epic TWENTY unknown indies to check out! I'm going to put up another 20 tomorrow. Spread it far and wide! kotaku.com/indie-games-...

Ooh or lay it on its side and make a Snowpiercer game

Wow, that's a big drop.

It's cool how sponsored search on app stores mean that the thing you're looking for is guaranteed to never be the top result. Really helpful and convenient, and good for the businesses too.

I still don't get how it's "unthinkable" to punch back in the shadow war a declared adversary has been waging for over a decade. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Happy working-for-an-American-company-on-Thanksgiving Day, to all who celebrate. May your inboxes lie fallow.

Re-enacting this video but for your own wedding is such a wild choice. What should my wedding vows be? Maybe warning I'll haunt them forever while glaring furiously into their eyes? (amazing song, obvs) youtu.be/eDwi-8n054s?...

FFS 😡 FINLAND IS NOT RE-GAUGING ITS RAILWAYS Just because an urbanist influencer has posted a 6 months old piece (that was anyway inaccurate) about it does not mean it is happening! Finland *might* lay some additional standard gauge track from Sweden to Oulu

I switched to New Outlook a while back because some little thing wouldn't work with Old. I've tried sticking with it for a few months. It's... so bad? So many things work worse than they did before, in a hundred tiny ways and for no obvious reason other than to look different.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

I've been exploring lost eras of the Smashing Pumpkins lately, like a young and relevant person would do. Anyway: this song kicks ass. music.youtube.com/watch?v=pxqZ...

"The cloud is just someone else's computer" proving pretty true today, I see.

At the hospital and a chap just asked someone if Endoscopy was at the main entrance. Was dying to chip in with, "Not necessarily."
