Between takes on set Peter Cushing painted wargaming figures. He'd invite female costars to join him if they were new, looked lonely or being perved on by others on set. "Scream Queen" Ingrid Pitt proudly showed me the little figures they painted together once. Kept them all her life #nerdlings

Then - We must do something to end human rights violations in China (doesn’t really do anything) Now - what human rights violations? We love China, please buy our stuff

2026 basically

I know liberals see this as "Yay! Building up that majority! Bleeding Poilievre dry!" But for the rest of us, this is a huge red flag. These people ran on a platform of hate, xenophobia and fear mongering. What does it say that they feel seen by the Liberals right now? Yikes.

New 'elbows up' just dropped: Protecting our sovereignty by destroying our capacity to tell our country's history. Ask any Canadian historian and they will tell you that things were already extremely dire at Library and Archives Canada. Not sure it will even be functional after this.

All day yesterday, I thought it was Sunday. Today, I keep thinking it’s Wednesday.

The Supreme Court of Canada no longer posts in X. Same for the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Medical Association, and so many other national organizations. It would be great to see the federal, provincial, and territorial governments do the same.

@moviessilently.bsky.social I saw the 1962 film The Fabulous Baron Munchausen on Kanopy the other day. The live action, colours and animation reminded me of b&w movies. Have you seen it?

Haha, the rest of the post says they wanted to double check results, but were told to stop slowing innovation. Sorry, if you bring on software and aren’t auditing it at the start and then occasionally afterwards, you deserve everything that happens. Not a biz, I would trust.

Someone got incredibly drunk last night and wandered around my driveway. Not sure what or who it was.

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

🥇 Pinheiro Braathen just won Brazil’s first ever medal at the Winter Olympics, and it’s a GOLD in the giant slalom. It’s actually the first medal of any kind at the Winter Olympics for any country in all of South America.

cool brief history of alchemy:

I like that everyone completely missed the whole meaning of the song pretty in pink.

Now if Canada would do the same. (But they won’t)

Looks like someone used a label maker on the skull.

I knew that once they got rid of vaccines, they were going after germ theory. It is against my rights as an individual to force me to wash my hands before handling food.

A detective show never seen on TV. A detective, who's life is in perfect order, discovers that the serial killer everyone believes is stalking the clean streets of Belfast, is in fact a bunch of different murderers. Can they prove it in time to stop the waste of resources being spent on a mistake

Sister watches too much “Richard Osman’s House of Games”. Now during the Olympics, every time Kazakhstan appears, she shouts FOUND IT! (Show has a geography round called - Where is Kazakhstan?)

Are the CBC commentators in Italy or is it only the Hockey folks?

Warm summer oysters

if your money was on "oh my god you unbelievable dipshit why did you embarrass me on international television we are obviously not getting back together" congratulations please come collect your winnings

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

This is art. True and truthful art.

Pedro Pascal is the 2020s version of Micheal Caine. Everywhere you look, there’s Pedro Pascal, just as earlier Micheal Caine was in everything.

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

The Olympics need to work with Interpol to set up a cybercrime division. Any threats made to athletes must be treated as real and everything must be done, where possible, to prosecute. I know it’s hard, but enough stories of charges/lawsuits will possibly stop the low level assholes.

A woman discovered her dog had almost no brain after taking her to the vet for a seizure. This is Maggie. She had hydrocephalus, a fluid buildup in the brain cavity that filled 95% of her skull. Low sodium levels kept the disease at bay and allowed her to live to the ripe old age of 12. 13/10

Men with Brooms.

Remember if something happens in the last 10 minutes of the game, it wipes out the boring other 50 minutes.

Luge/skeleton really needs to add a third discipline- crazy carpets. Just going down the track on a piece of plastic. Also, they should be required to wear snow suits, not those aerodynamic skin suits. Plastic carpets and polyester snow suits. Now that is winter sports at its best.

Ok, first off, I didn’t know they made bikinis that fit manatees.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Oh no! It’s 8 am and I’ve already missed the first two hours of the Super Bowl pre-game show! Probably missed the first of the dozens of heartwarming tales of players overcoming adversity.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM!!!!!

Still on X?

Okay here’s my “contribution” to Super Bowl discourse: on Instagram, the Pacific Northwest Ballet has challenged the Boston Ballet. You must watch their video because if I tried to describe it you wouldn’t believe me… (It’s the photo with the pointe shoe & football)

Whale sharks have teeth on their eyes! Not their eyelids. Their eyeballs! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Wait, Bad Bunny is a musician? I thought it was the name of a cartoon from Playboy Magazine

the choice seems stark, do you want to live in this joyful kind of world or the one inflicted on us on parasites and grifters

The story goes like this, in 1967 a little girl called Takara’s customer service number, and asked to speak to Licca-chan. Not wanting to crush a little kid’s dreams, the operator quickly replied “Hello, this is Licca-chan!” Very cute, totally harmless. …right?
