If you ask me, Reality tv has got way out of hand

The funniest thing would be if the Labour Party also got arrested today

Well I'll tell you something that's not funny; right now a deeply transphobic Reform candidate is at home crying like a little girl!

This is great, probably their best episode yet - Neil & John take a deep dive into one of the most interesting, fun, criminally overlooked and frankly rather batshit SF TV series ever made. Well worth your time!

I think I need to stop playing with this now

Tbh for once he’s talking a lot of sense here

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

“2026 is the year of the horse” The horse:

Watching Mandelson's perp walk, I cannot get over how much the reporter sounds like Chris Morris on the Day Today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=angu...

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

Paddington at the BAFTAs, but he’s doing Tony Montana’s ‘bad guy’ bit from Scarface.

I've been thoroughly got by my partner. He yelped loudly and pulled his hand out of a bag. "Aagh! There's something sharp in there!" I rushed over thinking what the hell, what could possibly be in there? What was in there:

Horrified by how late I am getting on the Angine de Poitrine bus but am making up for lost time by (a) watching this video on a loop and (b) reading every single one of the joyous comments below it youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so

“The guy did a great job for a competitive rate. I’m really pleased with it”

This is exactly what I imagine when I hear Holsts's Planets...

My daughter Z vs ChatGPT 3-4 years old: ✅✅ Confidently spouts completely wrong information: ✅✅ Consumes 85,000 gallons of water daily: ❌✅ Dances adorably: ✅❌ Hope that helps Sam

Having an occasional Babylon 5 rewatch marathon thingy going on right now whenever I feel like it and tonight it was s2ep9 The Coming Of Shadows. Hot damn but this one still hits so very hard. Incredible work by @straczynski.bsky.social and others across the board. SUCH good television, my god.

I Just Called To Say I Loved You (by the guy who made bloody Superstitious, for crying out loud) Every second of it, up to and including the absolute worst bit, the “cha-cha-cha” finale that means I can’t even enjoy it ending

Wish I’d realised this myself before I chose to have kids, imagine how many data centres I could have instead by now

@robinince.bsky.social almost forgot, Happy Birthday to you. Hope you’re trapped in a bookshop or something

One of the things I find frustrating about sci-fi is that because of the American influence of it, all of the planets are called things like Zexion 5 and Danshassia 7. I’d call them things like ‘Nether Roundthorpe’ and ‘Spheresbury’. Gravity Bywell. Chalfont St Globeby. Bishop’s Goitre.

“Shirley, Do You Own A Ferrari?” by Chris Rea and Shirley Bassey.

This might be an astonishing breakthrough — yet to be tested in humans, but what potential! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Look at the picture they've used for the original Dalziel and Pascoe. www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle...

I love the first 20 minutes of a big breaking story on here, when we're all drawing cocks and balls on the board before Sir arrives

Ah, one of those ads you got at 1.15am during The Hitman & Her

Pretty sure Wuthering Heights would be getting a lot better reviews if they’d used my theme tune that I sent them. Yes, I know I’m just singing Wuthering Heights to the tune of Blankety Blank but it’s catchy as fuck and will let everyone know they’re in for a good time at the flicks.

When asked where I’m from I sometimes just shrug and say “around” because it’s so much quicker than the actual proper answer

I’m so excited for you guys to read my new book

2026 basically

Holy shit (@robinparker.bsky.social you may well approve)

New grunt just flipped-

Most London experience I had was I fell over on the tube due to an unexpected lurch. Never made it to the floor as a load of hands appeared to catch me and right me yet no one looked up from their books or said a word.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Just seen the words “Netflix's live-action Scooby-Doo origin story” and now I want to burn things

Remember: this is who makes Star Trek now.

Was advised to put my head between my knees by Judith Chalmers.

*chuckles in former BBC subtitler* My favourite was the story that Michael Heseltine used to always complain to the Beeb every time the live respeaking software rendered his name as Michael Hezbollah.

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THERE’S A LEGO BUGS BUNNY NOW!?

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is “the most urgent public health issue” while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.
