Illustrating just how BRIGHT our sun is, this is the sun (through a dark filter) casting the shadow of a Falcon 9 rocket's incandescent exhaust plume.

Jurassic Alien: Earth World.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Alien: Earth episode 6 dials up the character incompetence even further. Marines talk to each other like 16 year olds. Synth kid memory wiped then Wendy immediately undermines that. We're told it's a facility full of scientists, but the trainee synth kid gets lone access to ALL the specimens. WTAF?

If the price of God’s mysterious plan is the lives of innocent children, then perhaps it is a plan not worth worshiping.

Reform will have to reselect in Croydon, as their initial candidate for Mayor had been dead for 6 months when they selected her, Inside Croydon report Being dead is one way to pass the social media vetting but was likely to get noticed eventually insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...

As with many roaming beasts, the dpd van is at it’s most vulnerable when drinking.

Damn! Alien: Earth dials up the character incompetence to 11. Not including the child-mind synthetics, but nearly EVERYONE else is unlikeable and incompetent in this vision of the future. Especially the marines/fodder. It looks amazing at least. Not sure I can tolerate a 3rd episode.

Just can't get enough of the '215 Premier League matches' advert on Sky Sports. Fortunately, it's repeated every 10 mins on the Sky Tennis channel, so when watching a typical 2hr tennis match can really get treated to the same advert plenty of times. Epic! Liverpool FTW again this season. Obvs!

TV coverage of #Cincinnati Open tennis has the camera on the wrong side of the court. Our view of the ball is in shadow, which makes it really hard to track against the bright glare from the court, particularly for afternoon matches. No other tournament coverage has this issue. Frustrating.

RIP Terence Stamp. Goodbye General Zod, Chancellor Valorum, Jor-El in Smallville, and Prophet of Truth in Halo 3. Terence Stamp was also in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Red Planet, Last Night in Soho, Miss Peregrine, Big Eyes, Alien Nation, Wall Street, and many more movies. He was 87.

Let's cheer ourselves up with some Miserablism. Love this track. Who wasn't or isn't a moody teenager at some point? @petshopboys.co.uk described 80s apathetic culture here (I blame Thatcherism) youtu.be/fybZr3EGtZM?...

Whoa! Pragmatic I guess. Unloved Fluffles can become a tasty snack. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It looks a lot like Star Trek, but doesn't act like it... I quite enjoyed Season 1 of Strange New Worlds, but now the only logical explanation for all of the tedious romantic relationships and awkward character interactions is the writers must be massive fans of Barbara Cartland and soap operas.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

"The most #Wimbledon warning you've ever heard'. Perfectly put by the commentators here. :) #bbc

Really unusual choice to get James Acaster to do the BBC tennis commentary for Eastbourne Open this year. 🤔

Rogue One absolutely is 💯 the best movie from the Disney era of Star Wars. The director's modesty is understandable here, but it's an outstanding entry into the canon and stands head and shoulders above all other Disney movie efforts. Andor makes it soar to new heights. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Bleedin' 'ell @bsky.app can you not get the 'show less like this' to actually work properly? Or maybe just add a anti-narcissist filter so we don't have to see so many horrendous selfies from all the needy, attention-seekers that use this platform like Instagram.

@gregjenner.bsky.social it feels like it should be recent enough history for there to be greater clarity, but the origin of the term 'Welsh Rarebit' seems to be mostly based on conjecture. Any insight? I only know my Mum made the best. :) www.bbc.com/news/article...

'Contemplating the jump.' #jumpingspider

Well, that was probably the worst year of #Eurovision ever. Normally there is some fun to redeem the event, but for 2025, even the bonkers acts were dull. The host's banter was cringe dialled up to 11. There is simply 'no point' to it anymore.

Very happy to find this adorable cutie in our garden this afternoon along with some pals too. #jumpingspider

Reform councillor was sacked from the police after pretending to be sick... When he was actually on holiday in Spain. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

...it concluded since the landslide was triggered by the melting glacier, and since *that* happened due to rising global temperatures... This was a signal - and a warning - from our rapidly changing world, heard in every single part of it. Best we listen up. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 10/

Guess we're going to have to listen to some 'My Chemical Romance' or 'Fall Out Boy' in preparation for the next MCU movie featuring the New Avengers. #thunderbolts

Finally got around to seeing the new Disney Marvel movie: 'Unity and open feelings togetherness crew' aka #Thunderbolts. The level of effort and ambivalence on display (particularly from Sebastian Stan) kinda sums up our attitude as viewers. It was OK.
