Season 2 of #Patience is here and Laura Fraser has left the series, which is a huge loss. On the other hand, she has been replaced by Jessica Hynes, one of my favourite actors.

Doing tactile things has been helping my anxiety, and my genius sister-in-law made an app that prompts a daily doodle and I'm LOVING it. She just put out the beta. Main rule: NO AI. I'm 2/skwurlhat on there. Come draw with us. It's so nice. www.doodl.app/join-the-beta

The air smells of bushfire ash. And it's going to be a windy hot day again. Not a good combination.

It's been a swelteringly hot day. I think that deserves some ice cream.

This fits into the same category as dogs sticking their heads out of car windows, in that it's something they completely love and obsess over, yet for millions of years it was completely unavailable to them so had no idea what they had been missing.

Watching the recent #Taskmaster New Year's Treat, and Rose Ayling-Ellis is exactly the kind of actor who would be great in Greg Davies's show The Cleaner.

I'm disappointed in myself in how few of these I recognise. You can drag it around the screen, it's absolutely enormous.

Looking more like his mother all the time

Sure, why not.

This headline just popped up in my Google News feed. But it's about something that happened 50 years ago in Hobart, Tasmania. It's a brief historic article, not a Breaking News story.

🌟Sincere post alert 🌟 Guys I am going into 2026 as a full time comedian and I won't lie....I'm a bit scared. For 6 years I had a brilliant 2 day a week writing job that kept me afloat, thats gone now. Even though I should have done it years ago, I feel like my safety net has been 1/3

I wonder how many factories in the world make gaming dice. And how many they produce in a day. And if that's probably too many.

It's going to be at least 40°C on Wednesday, and even higher in other parts of the country. That's 105°F.

*googles conversion of recipe instructions from oven to air fryer* "I'm sure you're all here for a simple conversion, but it's not that simple. First here is a history of cooking starting from the Ancient Babylonians until the Roman occupation of Britain."

Someone should make a Lucasarts-style point-and-click adventure based on Gilligan's Island.

1986 was a pretty good year for music.

Added the "cautionary tale" croissant and Tiny Tim skating to the shop, earlier today.

I’m a screenwriter for comics, live action, and animated TV. Algorithm gods please connect me with kindred spirits: - Sci-Fi / Fantasy fans - Disney Enthusiasts - Film & TV nerds - Artists - Comic Book geeks - Writers - Producers - Mixologists - Project Managers - Forgotten Women in History buffs

Some TV shows in 2025 I particularly liked: Patience The Hardacres Severance S2 Miss Scarlet S5 Race Across The World Death Valley Karen Pirie S2 Bookish Code Of Silence The Count Of Monte Christo Leonard and Hungry Paul Murder Before Evensong Down Cemetery Road

There used to be a big deal horse race day every Jan 1 near where I grew up, and my family would go every year because our Dad was big into them. There we'd see our school friends and catch up on Christmas etc. At no point did they ever mention it was all the horses' birthdays.

#StrangerThings had more endings than Lord Of The Rings.

Greetings! I speak to thee from the far distant future of 2026! From here I can tell you all what awaits you! *looks out window* It might rain later.

Doing a watercolour study of one of the croissants I over-baked tonight.

Internet sleuths and/or British 70s kids - help put me out of my misery. I’ve been obsessed with a robot design that I believe was used to promote a snack. I’m sure it was for KP Outer Spacers, but image search is returning nothing. 1/2

Last day of 2025. I'd like to be angry and negative, as politics is scary, technology is annoying, social media is maddening, and I don't know where it's all going. But I personally had an okay year. I had to move, which was good and bad, work has been steady, and life has been tolerably acceptable.

At the end of every year for the past ten years everyone has been all “haha good riddance 20XX you won’t be missed” and then the next year is worse.

I can't believe a whole week has passed of my break already. Why does relaxing time go by so fast?

This sticker sheet from Lego's Old Fishing Store set has a newspaper that surely is a reference to the famous TV prop.

After a literally Antarctic spring and beginning to summer, the weather's finally starting to sort itself out. It's after 5pm and the temps are getting silly.

Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

My new neighbour has decided the perfect time to dismantle a house is the holiday break between Christmas and New Years.

Describe your BlueSky account in a single image.

My apostasy may have done for any faith I had in the supernatural, but it has done nothing to diminish my respect for Yeshua Bin Yusef. I just wish more Christians shared that.

It's a hot sunny day so I decided to go for a little walk. May be a mistake as now I have to slog back in the overbearing heat.

The Inequality in Hollywood is SHAMEFUL.

I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately, many of them involving negative experiences. I don't think they count as nightmares, they weren't scary, but they wake me up feeling annoyed at phantasms.

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

I'm trying to think if there was any particular TV show this year that really stood out as special. I didn't watch the ones on the 'best of' lists; If it doesn't interest me, I don't watch, popularity be damned. Even Andor was only okay, imho. Oh well, it was a mediocre year for me, I suppose.

In the most recent #MidsomerMurders the victim was killed by a very sharp-beaked cuckoo clock. I am not making this up.

And, it really annoys me that after all the child killing, the blatant white supremacist stuff, and doing everything he could to incite a civil war in Britain, the media still regard him the same way they always have, never mentioning any of it at all.

In Oct2024 I started a photo project: a picture from the same spot on my walk to work every morning for a year. A week after I finished, I caught this golden view. Nothing is ever “the same”, so enjoy every moment (the project continues) #ArtAdventCalendar #Photography #GoodMorningFromSaskatoon

"Australia recently ranked 42nd in Ookla Research's global broadband speed tests... ...up from 82nd place in February."

"Anybody else see those ghosts last night?" - Donald Trump at breakfast this morning

As Christmas evening draws in, I genuinely feel like I have eaten too much. So it's been a good day.

The Little Drummer Boy was written during WWII era, so I imagine they were picturing a military snare. But in the Middle East in year 0, surely they had these goblet drums or something. A far more pleasing sound than a harsh tapping.

I keep this above the mirror in my bathroom to motivate me. You’ll see, Joe Dredd. You’ll see real soon!

Nice of the weather app to single out Woori Yallock, a place I have never heard of before today.
