Today I saw some bloke jogging on the treadmill in a collared shirt and a jumper. I didn't get a good look at his pants but there is a non-zero probability they were suit trousers.

Today from the #archives of the #TimeLibrary: police investigate a bizarre dance being performed by a young woman...

There's a guy next to me in the gym on a recumbent bike idly twirling the pedals while listening to something playing out loud on his phone. The bike isn't even switched on. I do love the people who drag themselves to the gym at 6 am and then *don't* exercise out of spite.

I was struggling to understand my autistic son - until we watched an episode of Doctor Who

Saw someone say the world is a boring place because there are no elves or dragons, so I'm legally obliged to share this:

So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS. Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea

Is something happening today?

Come flort with us.

The BBC's 1973 adaptation of ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS contained enough nightmare fuel to put a rocket in orbit. Sarah 'Nyssa from Doctor Who' Sutton as Alice, there.

Me, trying to be normal.

Firefly the television show is a A LOT worse than you remember

The number of taxi and rideshare apps that offer me a discount is TOO HIGH. Bitch, my plans today were to stay on the sofa with an extra large bag of cool ranch Doritos. I'm not going to order a ride just because you give me a discount.

Missing Doctor Who Recovered! The Film is Fabulous! team are pleased to announce the recovery of two missing episodes of Doctor Who, from the serial entitled, ‘The Daleks’ Master Plan’: The Nightmare Begins (Broadcast: 13th Nov 1965) Devil’s Planet (Broadcast: 27th Nov 1965)

Completely horrified to read about this. Unfortunately it tracks. People think that writing isn't real work. If you don't think it has any value, you don't have qualms about stealing it, stealing the identities of people who do it, or having a computer do it for you.

Had a blast at Bat Boy: The Musical last night! Such an odd show but bags of fun. The students at the University of Nevada, Reno put on a great production.

Had a wild time thrifting in Reno yesterday.

Oh Reno, never change.

This time librarian had a wild visit to the Bulova museum in the Empire State Building last week! Look at this gorgeous model of an Accutron watch showing the tuning fork movement. #Libraries #Museums #Archives #Watches

We hosted some gorgeous vintage Audemars Piguet watches at the #TimeLibrary this week. #Libraries #Watches

Trip Galey is publishing a new science-fantasy novel that looks *extremely* camp. If you liked his work editing the queer pulp anthology "I Want That Twink Obliterated!" then consider backing this inspired bit of gayness. #IWTTO #Booksky #SpeculativeFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Queer

Pure library joy at the 90 Second Newbery film festival in Brooklyn this afternoon. Kids make 90 second films of Newbery Medal books and everyone has an amazing time. This is the highlight of everyone's year. #Libraries #LibraryJoy

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

Yesterday my crack team of undergraduate limerickologists and I discovered the remains of a lost limerick within a Far Side cartoon, so we've reconstructed the full poem. Peer review is hereby invited, as we plan to formally publish our findings on a prestigious bathroom stall door later this year.

Sad news about Rob Grant. Tangential to his writing I know, but I could never get over the opening titles of the early series of Red Dwarf, their epic loneliness – what a way to start a sitcom youtu.be/HrNLLvAokO8?...

If you sneak up on it, you can startle it for long enough to take a picture before it goes invisible again.

A patron came to my library and told me, "This place would be so much nicer without all these books!" He asked about time locks, so I got him a book about them and as he was leafing through it he said, "This kind of thing really doesn't interest me." 🤦 #Libraries #Librarians #JustLibraryThings

So if anyone is looking for an alternative to Wired after seeing this ridiculous homophobic slop, I definitely recommend @404media.co. They’ve been doing some great tech politics reporting.

Fuck off, @wired.com. You should be utterly ashamed and run out of town for this.

Kenneth Williams. How best to mark his centenary today? Here are all the 'Julian and Sandy' sketches from BBC radio's 'Round the Horne,' written by Marty Feldman and Barry Took, and co-starring High Paddick and Kenneth Horne. Nothing funnier has ever been broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l-3...

Unexpected gold in this review of the 1985 classic dino flick "Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend".

Rewind TV has started showing 90s sitcom Haggard today, so on Wednesday 9th July you can see Paul Darrow as Mad Jack, in full Darrowing glory.

It takes a certain kind of couple to have these recommended videos.

It's that time of year when men slough off the old penis to make room for the new one. Happy new ween day, everybody, and remember to dispose of the old one responsibly.

In all fairness, here's a differing view. You might not remember, but there was a great Jimmy Webb song embedded in The French Connection. Everybody Gets To Go To The Moon, sung by The Three Degrees. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGJ9...

The latest student kinetic time installations are all set up in the #TimeLibrary! They are adorable and clever and creative. I have a lot of favourites but I do particularly enjoy the high tide indicator that lets you "pour" out the electronic water.

500 years of Frasier repeats on C4 and only just noticed that the delivery man who brings in Martin's chair in the first episode is the same guy who takes it away in the finale.

Am I wrong for wanting to see Macaulay Culkin cast as Catherine O'Hara in a biopic?
