I'm working through the aftermath of a terrible night of insomnia by farming rares in the pre-expansion event in World of Warcraft. As someone was pinging spawn locations in chat earlier, I've been doing it to help others out.

Someone’s been listening to Delta Flyers…

Great response from John Freeman to Frazer Brown’s latest scummy move.

downthetubes has been alerted to comments by Frazer Brown of Red Cabin Comics that may lead some to consider we gave his never published Tales from the Quarantine project support, and, by implication, support for the company’s dubious… https://downthetubes.net/tales-from-the-quarantine-a-statement/

I am very smug about tonight’s game of Blood on the Clocktower. I got a Juggler hit of 3 in an Evil Twin game, and solved my first ever Twin Dilemma on Day Two. We also got through the misinformation and snagged a Good win at final four. Very happy!

Television began on this day in 1926. Shortly after that, Doctor Who fans started a campaign to get rid of the current producer.

Last week's comic. I'm new to The Traitors and predictably loved every minute of it

I really need to be less oblivious when doing things that I love.

I have got to stop watching The Pitt while eating lunch.

Gallifrey One's 2026 Schedule of Events is now available; complete details at gallifreyone.com/schedule #gally1

Phone, keys, car key, EarPod case on one side, wallet on the other. No idea why, but after I locked myself out a couple of years ago I’ve become almost pathological about having my keys in the right place before I shut the door.

Staring at Broadway theatre schedules and realising I might go and catch the original cast of Operation Mincemeat in their final weeks in New York, having seen most of them a couple of years ago in the West End.

Robert Picardo ❤️ Also, How did I not know that Gina Yashere was in this?

Quite tempted to sack off the rest of the day and dive into Hitman Omnibus volume 2, which has finally arrived undamaged in Belgium.

Fine, I’ll use four of my many unassigned hours to watch Avatar. Starting, as is tradition, by reading a Wikipedia summary of the previous film.

That thing where you're going on holiday in three weeks time and it's looking like you never got around to making that all-important second hotel booking...

Popped over to the wiki page for the current season of The Traitors only to discover that Amanda is Reece's mother, and Jessie and Jack are brother and sister.

Charlie: thank you so much! I'm gonna call it Chaz Bucket's Chocolate Fuck Hut Willy Wonka: I have changed my mind

ThESe TIMES Are TOo iNtERESting! SeNd tHeM bACK!

Wait, is it Traitors tonight? It wasn't bins on Tuesday even though it was, so my only sense of date is all out of whack...

Really enjoying listening to @alexpaknadel.bsky.social on the latest episode of @xplainthexmen.bsky.social. And I'm glad I double-checked this before sending, because I'd accidentally tagged Alex Horne initially, and I'm not sure my brain could handle these specific worlds colliding...

Maybe I shouldn’t have watched after a day of driving, but I felt that the Taskmaster New Year’s Treat was a disappointment (despite Rose and Sam being excellent). Probably my least favourite NYT since it started.

Julie Andrews’ Daily Schedule. 1. Quick Homer Simpson impression 2. Learn about bushcraft 3. Watch silly British comedy 4. Remove weeds in garden 5. Begin making coffee flavoured bread D’oh, Ray Mears, Farce, Hoe, Latte dough.

I've just started the Season 13 bluray set. I'd assumed that the AI stuff would only be obvious to someone who knew the stories well, but I've never seen Terror of the Zygons before, and I didn't even make it to the three minute mark before becoming very, very aware of it.

Just got out of Into The Woods at the Bridge Theatre. Phenomenal, incredible staging and design, fantastic performances across the whole cast, I’m very glad I now know this show. A high bar set for theatre on the first day of the year…

By my count, I’ve done 22 theatre shows this year, two continents, four countries, six cities. Not bad considering my work situation (or lack of it!). I doubt I’ll be as diverse in location in 2026, but I’m hoping very much to keep on seeing things I love and discovering new things.

Going to be spending NYE out in central London. Only the second time I’ve done this - the first was 2012, spent in Namco on the south bank, which meant we could pop onto Westminster Bridge for the fireworks as we were within the cordon.

Ride the Cyclone. Macabre, twisted, funny, and more. I’d say grab a ticket, but it’s sold out until the end of the run.

Kings of Leon did predict this tbf 😬

Sat on a bus heading to my last theatre of the year - Ride The Cyclone at the Southwark(ish) Playhouse.

Um… I think not…

TL;dr she breasted boobily, I came.

Dune, Dune, Deeper and Dune

Dune, Dune, Deeper and Dune

I’ve put in When Harry Met Sally. Haven’t seen this since I was… 17? Over half a life ago. Billy Crystal is charmingly obnoxious, Meg Ryan is incredible. Can’t wait for Fisher and Kirby to show up.

Boy, Brigitte Bardot sure loved doing a racism, didn’t she…

It’s soup-make day Yes it’s soup-make day It’s s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-soup-make day

Why is the version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from the Mary Poppins musical so slow? It’s on BBC1 right now and it feels so weary. Just hit it at the proper speed!

Ploughing through DC Finest: The Killing Joke volume. Some great whiplash here - from Son of the Demon, to the awful Millennium tie-in books, then to the first meeting of Dick and Jason which might be the first ‘Batman is actually a bit of a prick and people in his orbit need to make their…

There was a way to write this without invoking the Audible HP things, which very clearly aren't podcasts, but full-cast audio dramas (which shouldn't have been made). The only video podcast I've watched is the 'visualised podcast' that is Traitors Uncloaked, and that's because it's on iplayer.

Yum.

“I hate you…” “No you don’t.”

[breathing a sigh of relief as I carefully remove the poison, hammer, Geiger counter, and radioactive source before helping Tiny Tim out of the box]

And Tiny Tim, who did not die, but started to like makeup and boys, so Aslan wouldn’t let him into the true realm of Narnia.

To me, my X-Mas!

me: you boy what day is it today? boy: nonces shout out of the window day. me: oof you’ve absolutely done me there.

i post this story every christmas, and will keep doing so until it stops making me cry merry christmas xx

Heading into Christmas with Michael Gambon at his absolute best - being completely confused by the sheer concept of Matt Smith.

I was visiting the Cratchits, late one night when my eyes beheld a very alive sight
