Was getting ready to boo Australia this year before I realised I had Delta Goodrem and Holly Valance mixed up.

Exit music to a lost John Hughes film is one of my favourite genres. youtu.be/SsBuAmvFuiw?...

Disappointing after all these weeks, seeing all the banter fade away in one long weekend, like having watched with slow, ecstatic longing the snow falling deep and crisp on the ground, only to receive a text at 7:45am that school will nevertheless be open.

Here’s how good a video this is I think the part where he talks about his failed business selling MMA gear for babies is the second-funniest part of the video

What if Sophie's Choice were about four children? Or three children and a really cool guitar?

Just avoided making an Oxford comma joke.

“Deborah, we talked about you not using McKinsey” is basically a peak Simpsons gag, I love Hacks.

This is the sweetest and nerdiest train race of all time, going from Magna to Sheffield, trying out the new tram link. It’s a brilliant bit of genuinely thrilling editing with a nail biting finish! youtu.be/KX8YtPmb--Q

You should put more context in the ticker, guys.

Went to see Romeo & Juliet at the Harold Pinter theatre yesterday and I would like to give credit to this astounding bit of merch:

Just been reminded – by an exciting email from Severin – that I forgot to share this piece from the Sheffield Tribune when it was published. We've talked to a lot of people about Threads and our upcoming documentary Survivors: The Spectre of Threads, but this is my favourite interview we've done.

"You're not my Mullah!" "YES I AM!!!"

How it started: How it's going:

Because drinking is like gambling where you win 99% of the time.

Seventh with zero goal difference is basically the platonic ideal of an Everton team to me.

Very complete, pretty much, is going to be my default status update going forward.

Very impressed with Manabox to quickly scan your collection. manabox.app

Premodern has done some weird things to Magic: the Gathering card prices, and by extension, my ability to clear out my old attic.

Seleucid empire instability dominating the news this week.

"Does every Sheffield business or Sheffield landmark need a mural of another Sheffield business or Sheffield landmark emblazoned on the blank walls of its premises? Does that make it more Sheffield? Does anything in Sheffield need to declare they’re in Sheffield? They’re already in Sheffield."

I regret to inform you that I woke up with this image in my head and so I've decided to make it your problem too

Read a bunch of stories from RA Lafferty's Nine Hundred Grandmothers today. What a delightfully weird little goblin he must have been.

most cutting food you can offer someone is a bread bowl. because it implies they're a) a peasant & b) not even a peasant with time for a long lunch.

Never has an usher’s job been easier than separating the arriving fans of Motionless in White and Stewart Lee playing neighbouring gigs.

First two night trip away with my wife since we’ve had kids.

In football, the goals are big and the balls are bouncy. No other sport capitalises on this alchemical formula, and no tactics will quench its fire.

Having a Mandela effect mental breakdown here: I have always known "whiles and wends" as an idiom for meandering at a leisurely pace. Independently, "while away" and "wend its way" are common but I can find only two pages on the whole internet using "whiles and wends" that isn't about BASIC.

Seventh with zero goal difference is basically the platonic ideal of an Everton team to me.

Ah, Catherine O'Hara, fuck. Spectacular emotional and physical range, such a complete comedian.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment. Remembering Kai Budde: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

If you dedicate your thesis to Cristiano Ronaldo, they simply shouldn’t award you a degree, sorry.

Why do bash falcon for the widening gyre but we never question if the falconer has bad vibes? Or if he’s just unpleasant to be around?

Gonna miss all these chunky knits on Traitors.

The best way to understand TTRPG discourse is to imagine a bunch of carnivores and a bunch of vegans arguing about which restaurant has the best cutlery.

Been noodling with my own TTRPG rules lately cos I’ve been a bit bored DMing D&D5e for kids and lemme tell you now: the meta is Drunken Master Centaur Monk.

We are witnessing the birth of an icon

I don't know what deeply suppressed trauma this triggers, but literally nothing makes me as incandescent with rage as a delivery driver lying that they've been to my house. I understand the untenable position they must be placed in by their employers, and by extension capitalism, but gimme my stuff.

Had a dream the other night that I won a competition and for some reason the prize was spending a day with Kevin Mirallas. It was really awkward and we ended up sat silently watching a bunch of highlight reels on YouTube.

Great summary of past and present study of the Herculaneum papyri from Richard Janko. #ancientbluesky youtu.be/rmXM6qh18B0?...

Bluetooth keyboard powered down while playing some cube, and so holding Ctrl and activating Lion's Eye Diamond with Ancestral Recall in hand to draw my game winning Doomsday pile did not go how I planned, but my Christmas spirit remains undefeated (as did my ninjas/Doomsday deck).

As of the latest DLC, this is quite a good Crusader Kings III strategy.
