There's one poster on Gallifrey Base who has posted about three or four of the things I've written, and every time has said something like 'this feels like it's a comment on/in dialogue with/inspired by X' and every single time they've exactly nailed what I was thinking when writing it. It's great.

Been a bit buried of late so I only just realised this was out! So much fun to write. Poor old Secretary Pym...

WRITER FRIENDS Does anyone know a fix for office refusing to recognise Courier Regular?

This article (via @stephenkb.bsky.social) has thrown me for a loop, because these are the basics for teaching reading that I took as uncontroversial wisdom (and I'm UK based, whereas this is apparently a US thing foremost). www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Eadweard Muybridge: Animal Locomotion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movement 1872-1885

I was at the recording for this too, because it was the same day as UNIT! Delightful! There's something of the vibe of the Collection era to these stories which I think people will really enjoy.

I've been out of the loop for a month or so, so I missed these announcements, but look! I was at the recording for this, it's going to be *fantastic*.

Gmail sending messages from producers who I have already exchanged emails with to my spam. Real helpful.

What gets me is that did it while impersonating Kim Newman

Check out this cracking themetune! The vibes! This was such an exciting project, I can't wait to hear it fully realised. Voord! Thals! The crushing compromises of fighting an endless galactic war! What fun.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Cow and Robert Ford (2007)

Every now and then I see a thing about Juno Dawson being the first trans woman to write Doctor Who and a little bit of my brain goes 'well, *technically*...' which is not an impulse I am proud of but there it is.

I can’t compete with this

Someone in my craft group just casually dropped in that they were an animator on the Macra Terror.

M:I The Final Reckoning: Can't quite live up to the bar set for it by Dead Reckoning (*). Good but, only maybe like 4th or 5th best and like, you'd hope for it to be best-best as the franchise capstone.

Genie: (about to make another grilled cheese sandwich) are you sure Me: (already holding two grilled cheese sandwiches) yes

This reply is getting more engagement in 10 minutes than anything else I've posted. Inevitable really.

OK of all the things to be cross about on a Friday night I admit this is very stupid, but can we just understand that a headline that is technically true but clearly intended to be misread is, as far as journalistic ethics is concerned, basically the same as just lying.

Totally missed this had been announced! What a riot it was to plough a proper nasty Dalek through the toybox @gossjam.bsky.social created. I was at the recording, and this is going to be ace.

Huddle up, folks. I’m going to publish @jonbois.bsky.social ’s debut novel, 50007: AN AMERICAN FOOTBALL ODYSSEY

Open your keyboards... sharpen your pencils... and start writing!

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is! Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me? Enter the garden.

Quite the payoff

woke up with this in my head and now it's your problem

'Battersea Train' by Juan del Pozo juandelpozo.net

"elder scrolls" is just me looking at my phone

*I might not have seen everything, or enough of everything, but I'll give it a go

Been sitting on this news for so long! This was so exciting. Think halfway between Counter-Measures and Dalek Empire, with an underpinning if TV21 and Dalek annuals.

Just seen Flow. Slightly bemusing. Nice, made with heart, endearingly odd, but... Some distinct weirdnesses. The sense you're watching someone play through a short indie walking simulator never wears off, for one. And I'd be hard pressed to tell you what I was meant to take away from some bits.

Really enjoying the Interior Chinatown adaptation four eps in. Clever reinterpretation.

Standards are slipping, in that there is a golden opportunity to have made a 'here's one we made earlier' gag in any of a) this tweet b) the headline c) the standfirst d) the intro all of them cruelly passed up.

I saw Mickey 17 twice, and hadn't seen anything in between. So when I went to update my spreadsheet of what I've watched, I just highlighted the cell above and dragged it down. Google Sheets handily changed the new cell to read 'Mickey 18'. Brilliant.

Second viewing of Mickey 17 cemented a lot of stuff for me. I like it a ton more than I think most people have? Think it's tremendously clever and really only has a few structural quirks and pacing oddities against it.

He tried . . .

Haven't been online much and somehow missed the story about Chris Kluwe's protest. I expect most of you follow him already, but if not, you should.

Anton Lesser is such an under-recognised character actor. It's always a nice surprise when he pops up in something unexpectedly.

This was really, really, stupidly funny youtu.be/dSlGxtOTbbI?...

Felt goth, might sack Rome later

VLADIMIR: Well? Shall we log off? ESTRAGON: Yes, let's log off. They do not log off.
