Very here for the Minder reboot

well that’s christmas ruined

Random hankering to play the original Grand Theft Auto again … but you can’t get it?! Rockstar would have you believe the series began with GTA III.

That Coca-Cola ad really can fuck right off in to the sea,

Just poked my head into my mothballed twitter account and my notifications are nothing but alerts about new Yaxley-Lennon posts. I mean, I knew it was crap over there now, but good lord.

You know how Bluesky is basically “remember when twitter was good … basically that”, is there an equivalent for Google?

House prices have gone up in the French town of Sauté since it's become gentlyfried.

The genius thing about the John Lewis ad – it’s basically designed to be messed with and memed. Have already seen multiple alternative needle-drops on various platforms.

All I'm saying is, what if during a colossal cost of living fiasco, every supermarket entered an unprecedented pact to completely sack off ALL Christmas advertising, and instead put the collective £400m (more? Less? Who knows) into giving millions of households a free Christmas 'big shop'.

sorry why does this random judgy little hypocritical creep get a puff piece exactly

Maximum spaceship targeting computer vibes

Margot Kidder in New York, photographed by Patrick Jarnoux, 1979. You will never be this cool. It’s simply not going to happen. Condolences.

but the fourth sequel to the prequel to the sequel to the remake that has since been rebooted gave the franchise such a tidy ending possibly

Pebbling: sending little links and memes to the people that you love. Derived from the behavior of gentoo penguins, who “pick up pebbles in their beak and carry them to their partners or potential partners as a gift”. [redsetteragency.com]

Can’t wait for the new season of Twisted Oak

OOF. Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie is the current reigning champion for Worst TV Show Ever, so I’m kind of intrigued to see what new depths of terrible he’s mined here.

Why would a tumble dryer start generating a whole load of static? It’s been fine for years, and now all of a sudden everything comes out like

just get them a calendar, they’ll never know the difference

So basically John Lewis’ moodboard this year consisted of Aftersun and only Aftersun.

Fascinated by the occasional twitches and emissions from the zombie social network that is myspace.com. Nothing happens for months and months … then all of a sudden there’s a SPIN news feed?!

Yeah. You've laid bare the mechanics of the process now, we've all seen it, we don't need to see it again. And again.

One million right-wing people feeling forced to leave NY, freeing up vast amounts of real estate and lowering rent costs?! If it were true, and there was an “exododus”, it seems like a win-win.

For the National Year of Reading, I'd like to see a publisher-neutral pro-reading campaign on the scale of the library one from the 80s and 90s please. Who would be your top choices of celebs to get kids reading now? Rights would be a nightmare but what a bout a k pop demon hunter drawn reading...
