Spent some wonderful time travelling in deep space with my dear friend @paullitchfield.bsky.social as we assimilated some Data! Make it so!

@smershpod.com and @paullitchfield.bsky.social I was listening to the First Contact episode on a very busy train and couldn’t help laughing at the bit where Picard is listening to loud music and Riker is shouting ‘’KIN BORG’ and ‘ANAL CYSTS!’

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

NEW: Howard Lutnick, the billionaire who serves as President Trump’s commerce secretary, planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he was so revolted by Epstein that he had cut ties with him years earlier. 1/6 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

"cash only love, saves on the paperwork"

Sinners is such a good film, isn’t it?

This is what I wrote for Jessie, gone 4½ years now.

Donald Pleasence is looking well.

Meanwhile, we return you to Reform UK HQ…

Braverman, eh?

Honestly if you are - for whatever reason - looking at this and mainly thinking about the Chagos deal being scuppered by it, you are looking through the wrong end of the telescope

The more the Trump Administration revel in their crapulence, the less surprising it would be if it was revealed that they take part in Shunting.

It is quite the timeline in which a US President, rather than revelling in the first Moon mission in fifty years under his watch, is instead implementing tariffs on US allies for having the temerity to stick up for a fellow NATO member: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

The Avengers (the Ralph Fiennes/Uma Thurman one) is truly awful, isn’t it?

“Coming up next, Ted Rogers, Dusty Bin and the Brian Rogers Connection set more challenges in 3-2-1.”

Happy birthday to all the new ITV franchise holders except Carlton, obviously

Here’s wishing you a most wonderful 2026. I hope the New Year brings gentler times for those who have lost or struggled this year. For those who have had a good one, I hope that continues. For everyone, only the very best of times to you all, you absolutely wonderful people.

Just been to the opticians and glad to say my prescription is the same from a year ago.

Birthday/Christmas haul:

Kim Jong Un’s got your mum’s Christmas present.

Just back from the Mum in Law’s and returning to the gift of a festive Yule log that our cat left in her litter tray. I’d have preferred socks, tbh.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Barbara Dickson.”

“And at 7.30 there’s more fun with Lennie Bennett and the Punchlines Christmas Special. Coming up now, One of Our Dinosaurs is missing.”

Taking the kids to see Muppet’s Christmas Carol this morning.

Not even Christmas Day yet.

The Heroes of Telemark is on today. Bit early, isn’t it?

A year ago today this came out. How sad that this news would come out just a year later shows.acast.com/smershpod/ep...

Oh God what horrible news about Rob Reiner and his wife. God almighty.

@smershpod.com have you seen this yet? youtu.be/d5aCg5Zip6c?...

Just seen the Animal Farm trailer.

Say his name and he appears…

At least they got a good rendering of Trump’s last prostate examination.

JUST DRAW THE BASTARD TEAMS! Fuck’s sake.

“Nominate Donald.”

Alan Sked has alleged Farage used various n-word slurs in 1997, aged 33, not 13 or 17. It would be useful to get a categorical denial or a more equivocal one to be clear about what Farage in 2025 is saying & denying about his use of racial insults as so-called "banter" & when that had ended

“BERNARD MANNING! BERNARD MANNING! BERNARD MANNING! “

Apparently, once upon a time "banjo catalogue" didnt mean a tattered periodical you found in a hedge by the park. Who knew? archive.org/details/arth...

@miles-online.co.uk loving your Christmas uploads this evening!
