This is what happens to the ‘how do you do, fellow kids?’ meme if you grow it under powerful hydroponic lights.

Woke up from a nap and soon found out why my right arm was still asleep.

I am become sentient mucus, slimer of worlds.

Ooh.

Never mind that they're paying a shitload just to come to welcoming, progressive, Global Britain to study. They're keeping universities afloat, helping local economies. But yeah, paint your fucking red cross all over education. Keep them all out. Extinguish the idea of 'students' while you're at it.

He was brilliant.

Charlie Brown only pawn in game of life.

Go on then. Because you asked no nicely… Happy doctor who day again!

This morning's comfort watch.

Rosy McEwen is excellent in Blue Jean (iPlayer).

So looking forward to this! youtu.be/FoXe--Fw-yY?... SISU 2: Road to Revenge Official Trailer youtu.be/N9t-ofzY3kg?...

For her birthday, our (now) 13 year old asked if she could give a presentation on the various deaths in Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol... @dukope.bsky.social @goldenidol.bsky.social

Currently being poorly like it's 1983, because my mother has sent me some Lucozade.

chicago pope is easily the funniest thing the catholic church has done in more than 100 years

Not to be too melodramatic but when he turns his head my life changed.

Fair play to George. Absolutely zero fucks given. #totp

COVID has me huddled under a duvet on the sofa with the Toxic Avenger for company. Very good.

"Flagshaggers aren't welcome here." Three of us were delighted to hear this live, after hearing it together on The Word for the first time in 1994.

I have a feeling this evening's PWEI gig will involve many people of a certain age raising a glass to Mani.

This is a TUNE. And all because of him.

Awful news. Those poor kids.

Super Hans medicined the brownies. "A pill, a nipple, bit of fried halloumi, lovely."

Work email that starts "Dear RNA enthusiast", like I've got a hobby vaccine operation running out of my garden shed.

Exceptional use of Mwahaha.

The UK's lost its mind.

The cover of Nature’s latest issue is metal as fuck

Violent, cool, funny, adorable, and disturbing, Wayne is part road movie, part romance, part Coen Brothers quest narrative. Chances are, you haven't seen it but it's currently sreaming on UK Tubi for free. If you liked Lodge 49 and Mister Inbetween you might like this. tubitv.com/en-gb/tv-sho...

I hope they used the same two topless men every time. I would watch an Edwardian Road movie about these two chaps, zigzagging the country by train, methodically but reluctantly measuring out 70 feet and then exposing their nipples to be sure. I’m calling them Hedley and Chadwick.

Here’s the Fieldfare pochoir update you’ve been waiting for. I cut a very fiddly stencil with lots of holes for black stripes and streaks. And it worked! I actually said “wow!” to myself.

I have two sketches in @getsmart2025.bsky.social’s online charity auction, should you be interested in bidding. It’s for a very worthy cause that’s close to my heart.

Monday

Putting the utter horror of taking things from people who have lost everything aside for a second, these people have sold everything to pay the boat gangs. If you want their valuables you should reopen all the old legal asylum routes and get in ahead of the other bastards.

You only really appreciate how good the BBC is when you spend extensive amounts of time in other countries. It's in no way perfect but it is essential.

Trying to quell the blinding rage regarding this vile, cruel rhetoric about immigrants and refugees. Like this country wasn’t forged and didn’t survive and rebuild without them.

Any excuse to highlight the wonderful Neil Innes. This thread is lovely.

There have been many attempts at lampooning Elton John over the years, but the brilliance in Neil Innes' approach from RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION is to emulate Elton's musicianship while gently ribbing the oft-times endearingly flowery/nonsensical nature of Bernie Taupin's lyrics...

I love that this is expanding to include books, music etc. I’m not curating it or making any judgments, it’s not *my* preferences, anyone who makes stuff is welcome to reply to my original post. (Not this one, far fewer people will see it.)

An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump is one of the greatest paintings of all time.

The Gremlin's found a new cushion.

Indulging my mother's love of the That's Oldies music channel and trying to work out why there's random footage of Cliff playing tennis in the Devil Woman video.

Sick burn.

Don't normally share but one of my best mates sent me this about his mate who was supportive when my mate's dad died. Don't know the guy but shit that sounds awful and have given him a little donation. Said I'd spread and it is legit. Shit thing/nice guy: www.gofundme.com/f/f988g-find...

So good.

Listening to two podcasters talking about Del Toro’s Frankenstein and while I don’t think you have to have read the book to watch the film I have an issue with people praising GDT’s faithfulness to the novel [side eye] whilst also praising him for “telling it from the monster’s perspective.”
