'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' star Peter Claffey doing an impression of Stewie from 'Family Guy' Pretty spot on 😂

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

One of the things I love about Gen Z is how they take all the little millennial snark sayings seriously. We said “hang it in the louvre” for two decades and they said “bet”

6 minutes long so can't repost here, sorry But vital video from a black woman with tourettes on the misunderstandings and hurt going on in viral discourse over John Davidson at the BAFTAs.

The most outlandish plot point in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is Samson routinely getting same-day appointments with his local GP. (And seeing the same GP every time!)

I’ve been learning to paint cherry blossoms.

Reading Project Hail Mary. It opens with the protagonist waking up with amnesia and a tube up his butt and he's like "you're probably wondering how I ended up here (with a tube up my butt) because I sure am."

Another morning, another showdown with my nemesis, The Bus That Runs Early.

I would like to get off this ride now please

PSA: If you're in the UK and today you felt like you got hit by a truck for no apparent reason, it's because the barometric pressure just did THIS clownery.

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

Extremely exciting news: We're hiring a full-time film critic to come work with me at The A.V. Club! You probably have an idea if you're qualified for this, but if there's something that's not in the job listing, I'm sure I can answer Qs www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

I've seen a few variations of this in museums and the point always seems to be undermined by the "touched" artefact looking way better than the perfectly preserved one.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

You’ve got red on you.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"

I had an establishing care appt with a new GP, and the nurse doing the standard mental health intake questions asks "In the past two weeks have you had feelings of anxiousness or hopelessness?" and I just started laughing and said "Come ON." She laughed and said "I'll put down no, but.. yeah."

Today I missed a train because my bus decided to do a random unscheduled 10 minute stop. Then the train I did get was delayed. Then I got on the Bakerloo line and the train broke. Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s collapsing infrastructure 💅

Per The Guardian, Melania likely has four-wall distribution deals. Basically, the theater gets paid even if zero tickets are sold because the studio is just renting out the screen for a flat fee. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Good way to make guaranteed revenue off a screen in January.

I don’t know if it helps but here’s a rat dressed as a medieval castle guard.

On a completely unrelated note, here's a professor complaining about the rise in the number of people wearing glasses for short-sightedness in the late 19th century.

Arts Council England’s grant applications are 30 pages long, requiring thousands of words, often in response to questions that simply don’t make sense. Their idea of making this process accessible to neurodivergent people is to offer funding for an access support worker. Which you have to organise

If you see something that doesn't look right, speak to staff or text the British Transport Police on 61016. We'll sort it. See it. Say it. Sorted.

Really hoping that this (and Owen Cooper in Adolescence) is the start of a turnaround for the UK film/TV industry. I’d gotten so used to all upcoming UK actors being from London that I was genuinely shocked to hear Alfie Williams still talking with a Newcastle accent in interviews.

My iPhone updated and now Apple Music has a cool new feature called Automix where it only lets you listen to half of a song and you don't get to choose which half.

I love the bit in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple where the post-apocalypse freak gets out-freaked. He's like "alright steady on mate this is a bit much even for me."

Another Heated Rivalry layered scene sketch.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Layered scene sketches from Heated Rivalry to ease the brainrot.

I did a four-hour round trip to see Furiosa in IMAX when I'd already seen it four times because I wanted it again but EVEN BIGGER.

Oh The Bone Temple is delightful.
