In about 1998, the internet started to get nostalgic for how the pre-internet world had worked. By 2010, there was nostalgia for how the early internet had worked. In 2024, there are now social media memes evoking nostalgic recall of... previous social media memes.

EVERYTHING that Reform does or says is front page news... unless they're ACTUALLY doing front page things.

@ospreysofficial.bsky.social with a 1st half bonus point, which is about as much as I'd hoped for from the whole trip. Might as well enjoy themselves in the traditionally punishing Pretoria 2nd half. #URCrugby

Claudia Cardinale and Robert Redford dying in the same week puts the world in a hotness deficit not seen since at least the 19th century

Guys I'm getting quite excited about this "internet" thing...

A small hill I'm willing to die on. Prime Minister is not a title which should be used as a prefix like King, President or Doctor. It isn't "Prime Minister Starmer"

Write out 100 times: Counter-accusation ≠ Refutation Both teams claiming bias, does not prove that the referee was impartial. All sides claiming suppression of free speech, does not prove that no-one is suppressing free speech.

In a world... Where diacritics... Are strictly forbidden... One man... Is about to discover... That you can't make an umlaut... Without breaking regs...

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

When I find myself in times of trouble Ellen Ripley comes to me Speaking words of wisdom I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit; it's the only way to be sure.

This is preposterous. I was an adult when "The X-Files" started, and I'm nowhere near 32 yet.

It was a pretty brutal way to discover you're on Ark B, wasn't it?

Valhallas / Dollars. That is all.

Ever smell an old hoodie and feel your soul time-travel to a version of yourself that used to believe in things?

It's not that I disagree with all the "This solves none of Welsh rugby's problems" takes. But it's been two years, FFS. I'm going to have another beer, and go back to the misery tomorrow. #JAPvWAL 🏉

Congrats to Matt Sherratt, who has now presided over Wales' longest winning streak for two years. #JAPvWAL 🏉

It's a strange feeling, when you finish a test match with more points than the opposition. In an odd way, it hardly even feels like losing at all. There must be a word for this? #JAPvWAL #rugby

Have we reached #RetroRetro? Things that were self-consciously retro are now... retro? Some of these thingies are over 20y old. We'll soon start hearing "Hey, my Dad had one of those!", if we aren't already. It feels silly even to pose the question. Imagine in 2003 asking "So is 1981 retro now?"

I’m looking forward to marking the forthcoming centenary of Richard Burton’s birth for @theegyptcentre.bsky.social at Swansea’s Taliesin Centre - and online - with a discussion of his cinematic excursions into the ancient Mediterranean world. Further details: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/from-tiber...

I refuse to be nostalgic about 2005, I still have inbox emails from then.

Slept in a Dire Straits T-shirt and woke up with an empty bank account.

My favorite film genres: 1. The only way these characters could survive is with inherited wealth, but... 2. Passes Bechdel Test despite being a shot-for-shot remake of "The Dirty Dozen". 3. William Hootkins. 4. Civilization ended centiuries ago, except dentists. 5. Tears In Claude Rains.

The day I don't respond to "How are you?" with "No idea; I just wake up, and... there I am!", you'll know I've been replaced.

Post you from a different era.

Not used to watching live football. I forget that a substitution being talked about, doesn't mean they're going to score immediately.

When I see an ad above a urinal with a QR code to scan... I think our civilization deserves whatever is coming to it.

Christopher Lloyd is 86, if he lives two more years he’ll leave two scorch marks and he’ll be 17 again

Details lost in time (>20y) but I liked the librarian's name, even though I never got past the first few chapters of "Titus Groan".

This. I've got affection for that series but it has a LOT to answer for.

Pufferfish on The Masked Singer said I have not got to stop believing in myself! I thought Samantha Barks last week but now I think Leah Michelle with the Glee reference.
